Also mix a little fine sand into varnish or another finish so they do not slip when stacked.
I put tight-fitting carriage bolts in that stick down into looser-fitting holes on the layer below. As you can see from the crack, I could use the threaded rod idea. Though honestly I’ve only split a couple blocks in 16 years of use.
My brother still has the plywood jig my Dad made so all the holes/bolts would line up. 1/8th inch bit for alignment, then used a spade bit to make clearance for washers and nut/bolt head.
BTW, Dad would never paint or finish his leveling blocks after he painted half the first set he made. In use, did not increase lifespan, and no paint means safer smoke when use the broken ones for kindling.
I wonder if somebody planed to leave truck camper in the driveway it wouldn't be smart to build a wedged-shaped platform just tall enough for the jacks to lower it down to? Maybe put wheels on one end, so easy to roll under after pull truck out?
