I got my blocking board today!

I got it direct from the manufacturer at a price much cheaper than I’ve seen other places. Now, I have to admit that some of this was allowed by the fact that I am a total geek and, upon discovering that the “Order” link on the webpage was broken I read the page source to figure out how to actually order the table pad online. I admit, I was worried that they either wouldn’t get the order at all — I did use a “secret” link — or that it wouldn’t work. But it did! I ordered online on 2 January and the board came in today. Not bad!

If you’re interested the links I used, here they are:

This is the small (27″ x 21″) board.


This is the large (51″ x 33″) board.

They’re priced at $40 and $50, respectively. It’s not the best price on the small one. The large board I’ve been hunting for quite awhile, and the cheapest I’ve seen it before now is ~$80. I’m pretty happy with it. In fact, the fronts of the Ribby Cardi are blocking on it right now!
