Breaking up Blocks of Wax

Problem: You have a big block of wax that you want to break up so you can melt it.

Solution: 

1. Prop one end of the block up on something like a stair, a brick, another block of wax, (anything that will create space beneath the block)
2. Hit the center of the block with a hammer 
3. Repeat until you get down to desired size
4. (optional) Once you get down to smaller chunks, you can use a brick set to further reduce each piece
