Steve,

<div>Yes these are each 3 layers thick. Cut length so that the individual board length matches the width of 3 of the 2 x 8’s. You could make a bit smaller with 2 x 6’s if you do not need that area for ground support.</div>
<div>I used some surplus straps for handles to easily carry them, where you can carry 2 from shop out to a trailer ready to dolly down.</div>
<div>I have several smaller ones made from 2 x 4’s that I space apart more. That way a tire can set between 2 of the 2 x4’s and not role. That gets enough height to roll under a vehicle on a creeper safely.<br>

<div dir="ltr">I like it. Did you note the handles? Apparently these consist of several layers nailed/screwed together. That's a really good idea, vs. traditional cribbing which is short lengths of heavy timbers. Not all of us have easy access to heavy timbers,
but some of us have plenty of 2x8 scraps...

<p class="MsoNormal">Today I did more disassembly of the Allis B. Got engine out and put it on an engine stand. Soaking pistons with penetrating oil. Using word block and hammer to try and jar pistons. The good news it that 3 of the 4 pistons sound a little
different when hitting the wood with a hammer. 1 of them is more of a dull thud. I am thinking the other 3 are closer to moving, and the one is stuck a lot tighter than the others are.
