Apologies for not loading pictures, I am suppose to be doing something else and you may want to read this link anyway
These loading block's look great, IMO, and I am tempted to order a couple.
I find it a shame though that no one in the UK is manufacturing anything like these. I was told that Mik has a CNC machine, but I imagine he is pretty busy with his Dolphin arms products.
Should anyone know of a struggling business who has a CNC machine not working to its full potential then I would suggest that they look at the possibility of knocking some of these out.
I would happily pay under £20 for one of these, which is going to be a joy to look at and handle, rather than the over priced plastic Jobie's which currently make my bench look untidy,

I can imagine that Oak would be lovely, but would they not need more handling / finishing and thus be more expensive?

I'll bet you would. Have you any idea how much Alu has risen in cost recently? Add tool wear, operators time, etc and i'd soon be out of business.

Guys,
Brian Fox is stocking the aluminium loading blocks and trays and other stuff from this company.
We featured this blingy (but excellent) stuff in Target Shooter a couple of issues ago.
Cheers
