    Thank you, Hemi. I completely agree. Although at that time (more than five years ago), I considered the possibility of making them in aluminum, I have to admit that I do not have the capacity to machine this material (my hobby is wood work rather than metalwork).

    The blocks were finished with sealant to prevent moisture absorption and have never been bathed with cutting lubricants, so the blocks remain intact and functional to this day.

    I hope to see your riser blocks in aluminum.
