Great idea. I have the BXA holders but this would alleviate me from having to get between the holders on the rack to handle them.

Slick idea!!
This is a small but fun project I did for one of my favorite customers.
They manufacture ice cream and the QC lab wanted a way to slice a full carton in half to check the candy/cookie distribution. As you can imagine, cutting a full carton of ice cream that's frozen to -30°F can be a bit of a chore. They were having a hard time keeping the cut straight and keeping it safe to use.
They gave me a rough sketch of what they wanted, and I took that and developed the fanciest cutting board I've ever seen.
Its basically guided guillotine for a big knife. The posts keep the knife on track, and the little feet can be adjusted to accommodate the various sizes of ice cream they make.

Re: Dr_Clyde's Shop Projects ICE CREAM CUTTER
Grew up in a small boat building shop in New Jersey. Dad built lapstrake Jersey sea skiffs.
In the summer he would take a 3pm break and go to the corner store to buy a pint of ice cream. He would make a wooden stick/wedge on the bandsaw, then cut the pint diagonally (square pints in those days) and we would each have a triangle bowl to eat our ice cream. Great memories.
I have Dad's bandsaw and tried the presentation with my grand children. They would not eat the ice cream because the blade was dirty and oily. Where have we gone wrong?

Love it! A little bandsaw ice-cream sounds awesome, especially on a hot summer day.

Customer was very happy with their cutting board. We tried it out on a Convovan size full of chocolate peanut butter ice cream straight from the deep freeze warehouse and it worked like a charm.
We were rewarded with a few scrounds of ice cream for the shop. Mint chip, deer track, super scoop and chocolate fudge. Happiness is a nice bowl of ice cream, even if it is January in Michigan.
I like it when we can knock out these small jobs and keep everyone happy.

Looks like a fun project! Your solution is simple but elegant. I especially like the clamp levers, which appear to be bike wheel quick releases? I'll have to keep that idea in mind
