cracks in rim

[gordon stelter]

You'll want to tip it upside down on 6', 2"x12"
planks, with gym matting on them. I do this a lot when
CA' ing blocks from inside the action cavity, and you
need the matting to keep the planks from denting the
top of the outer rim when it's upside down. 
     The planks insure you can get your fingers back
under it, to "right": it, when you're done.
