If you make it thick enough it can serve as a multi-purpose tool??

We made ours to serve as a pressure-plate tester, a block-plate for finish honing the blocks, and a deck-pinning fixture to pin the heads and gaskets to the blocks (photo below)!

We made it 1.500" thick to be safe.

Thanks, Gary in N.Y.

P.S. When working on any Flatheads it is a "must-have" tool for sure!
