Hi list, You can make a neat block support with two old upright backposts. They are often tapered, and using two 18" lengths as opposing inclined planes, you can support large sections at a time. A tap with a mallet is all you need to set and release the wedges. (no more cranking up and down on the adjustment screws.) It is a good idea to sand the surfaces so they will be rough, and stay where you set them. It's another use for a dead upright! Gordon Large, RPT Mt. Vernon, ME
