What did you do to your Class A MH today???
This is always a fun thread to watch, so I thought I would start one here.

To folks who've given nice comments on my "Jack blocks", I surely thank you. Very much appreciated.
Craig P,
I actually thought punching a few of these out and selling them for a few bucks but, that's too much like "Work". Ha ha. In my career as a fireman, I had the opportunity to develope alternate skills. Many of which I used in "overtime" assignments. Those included wood working, welding, fabrication, "Plastic welding", and more.
It's fun to be able to do things like this. I still enjoy it. The blocks I had were, 14"x14"x 4.5", and they were made from a "Versa-lam" beam. That's a Particle board beam that was 14' long. They turned out nice but, are twice as heavy as the ones I just produced.
Wrong Lane,
I surely thank you for the suggestion. I have even better stuff than metal for the corners. I have what's called "UHMW" plastic angle that I could use, and still might. That UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight) plastic is seriously strong and durable stuff. NASA type stuff. While protecting the corners, it would not rust, or get sharp edges from grinding against rocks etc.
But, let's face it, they're blocks for jacks, not kitchen cabinets. It's the old cliche, "It's the piano CASE, not the piano". But, again, thanks for the suggestion.
By the way, the handles are made from a 120' bundle of what's called "Mule tape" that I bought at Quartzsite in one of the many tool sales vendors. It's 1/2" wide, white nylon webbing that I use for a zillion purposes. I paid $8.00 for that bundle. A great bargain for such a versitle piece of equipment. Thanks again.
