DIY practice pad: Adjustments must be made.

Well, the Hero Tilt was a little too heroic for my arthritic hands.

So today, my pal Stewart came over and helped me remove a little less than a third of the angle height from the pad’s platform. I traced the line indicating how much wood needed to be removed, and he brought over his circular saw and took off what was needed.

Afterwards, I sanded it and applied fresh paint, and when that dries I’ll reinstall the bottom surface to the underside. I managed to save the plastic surface, and I can glue it to a new softer middle layer to make it work.

I STILL like this pad, and it STILL has a tilt that’s plenty heroic.
