Yes, it's how I make sense of the world. Now, if you'll excuse me I have some handstand blocks to buy...

I would suggest trying to make a set or getting someone here to assist but it's not like you're going to find measured drawings very easily. Once I buy mine and come off this high I will get out my wife's tape measure and see what I can do.

Whoa.... dude .....do about what? The dogs are taking me out for pizza...... we hang outside the back door and when the delivery driver comes out, I release the dogs, 9 outta 10 times he drops the order before he gets back in the door.... not knowing what you are getting makes it like xmas every week. 😉

Ok, clearly whatever I took is perfect because I understand everything you wrote. I can do a cartwheel but a handstand? Cancelling my order...
Also- what the heck kinda die wrench would I use on these?
They may get tossed in the mail to BC yet

Any normal big tap wrench will work..... LOL!
You do need a special tap or die though...... (Sorry, I couldn't stop myself....)
My big Starrett wrench will definitely do the job.

I meant die not tap 🙄
I'll sneak a pic in a few
Looks like 1 1/2" to 2", with a dimple on each side. Not a slot. What kinda die handle is that??

Sorry I need to proof read my post before posting. That was supposed to say pretty common die holders...
There are quite a few different styles of handles for that style of die. What @140mower has is one of the better ones. Here is a dormer handle that clearly shows another way to use the holes.
The holes you highlight in the die stop the die from turning in the handle. The slit allows for a very small amount of die spreading to achieve a tighter thread fit on the part. Easy does it on that though....... I've broken a few dies pushing the limits of that.
