How to Build Jerk Blocks - Part 3: Finishing Touches

In Part 3 - the final video of this series - Phil and Becky add the finishing touches to the blocks, including the rubber top sheet and the handles for both the topper and the stackers. We cover the construction of the stackers in Part 1 and the construction of the topper (i.e., top block) in Part 2. See below for Parts 1 and 2 as well as the materials list for this video.
