Blocks are cut and chamfered and here is a mock-up of the whole. Next step: install furniture inserts into the base and blocks.

Refined things a bit on the base. This would make a cool bench top or shelf. And I glued-up the blocks. The blocks are made with the same wood.

Cleaned up the glue up, did the layout, and then roughed out the base. Tonight I will refine the shape and mill the material for the handstand blocks and glue them up. The blocks will match the base. I put a thin strip of a repurposed cabinet from the circus school in the center.

Building a set of handstand canes for one of my colleagues. Had to epoxy the bug damage in the walnut that I am using for the blocks. I messed that up by not having the epoxy up to a more suitable temperature so it did not mix thoroughly and is not setting properly. May take a long time to cure fully if at all. Fortunately that won't matter as it is not crucial to the function of the blocks and is not on the show-side.

So I am noticing just how important two finger training is for one arma it's like when you first learn to hold a handstand against a wall..
New for my regime 1 and a half minute holding, one arm with two finger support both sides increase minimum 5 seconds each week
