Board/door lifter,offcut

[Philip Davies]

You may have seen proprietary board lifters in toolshops or catalogues. This is a bandsaw offcut from yesterday, which I am taking to work, labelled so nobody throws it away (just to be optimistic. Last week the mallet and scissors went missing. I don’t know whether my Manchester nippers are here or have been lost from there)
The advantage of using this instead of a crowbar is that it doesn’t damage the bottom of the door.
I believe I got this idea from Robert Wearing’s excellent book “Woodwork Aids & Devices”.
