Mee toooo! However, the post office does have a pony that goes between here and there. That's a major piece of aluminum! Assuming the bandsaw can rough out a couple of blocks, a guy might see if they'd hire out for transport. Then the old retired guy could square them up, punch the holes, shave off 5 degrees of wedge and pack them up for the return trek.
