Pinblock/Frame Separation Report!

Well, Ron, I meant I felt well prepared for most things. One big pop came
real close to making me jump off my feet - it was a deep-throated boom. I
thought for sure it was a gonner! I think most of the noise came from the
large blocks of wood at the top in the back between the vertical posts. I
had one or two clamps on each post, but also had several on the in-between
pieces of wood. I observed movement in these. I actually had to back some
clamps off these pieces and put more torque on the clamps at the posts to
minimize movement of these blocks. I also made sure one bolt went through
each post. I think much of the popping came from the in-between wood piece
movement, and some from the verical posts.
