I saw it braking. The glue joint gave up first from the top, then the wood came away a bit below. The picture of the broken bond is pretty descriptive I guess.
The bond broke just as I was starting the camera. I could not make a movie of this...
Bare in mind that this is 5 min epoxy. I was very impressed with the strength of that glue joint.
Actually loading this tiny bit of plastic with 25 kgs of steel is pretty scary. Mind your toes...
