How to build it
- Cut a 7″ block and draw a diagonal line from one corner to about ¼″ above the opposite corner.
- Clamp the block and cut along the line to make two wedges.
- Sand the sawn faces and round the thin tips slightly so they don't splinter.
- Glue a strip of rubber or felt to the bottom so they grip the floor.
