I've got over 40 of them.....

Ideas on what to do with them?

Sarcastic and useful would both be appriciated,
I've had a bad day.

hehehe

too thick for 3/4" stock... not enough wood left over
after drilling the holes....

( that is why I said "yeah, I'll take em. " )

edit:

after I replied I thought I should explain better.

The holes for the rod are already drilled slightly bigger
than the rod so allow movement under humid conditions.
( I learned that with the prototype.... sometimes it will
not fold.....especially if it gets rained on..... ) So 1/4"
is the biggest rod I feel comfortable with. 1" stock would
add a surprising amount to the wood cost and 3/4" is
strong enough for a fairly stout burly fighter in armor
