The board with the bolts, washers, and nuts, finally arrived from NorCal! It came with $20.45 postage due because my son's old hippy dad in Mendocino tried to outsmart USPS by sending it media mail. While you can argue a board is just raw paper in its natural state and should qualify for book mail, the USPS didn't see it that way. Lol.
Now I can shred leaves at my kitchen table. It works great. I shredded a bunch of leaves to.test drive it.
My giant wood clamps are just big enough to fit over the board and wide table brim. I'm going to position a second clamp on the right side of the board, so it isn't in the way of cranking the handle.
He has a machine shop and supply of local wood that did the work in minutes that would have taken me days to do. It's damp and humid in Mendocino so the board has to dry out before I finish it. If I finish it. Its all sanded any ready to go.
