Hi, guys. Long time retired from the forum but doing small projects. My daughter asked me for a high feeder for Draco, her big dog. I found some data to estimate the highness of a 27-inch tall dog. For Apollo, the smaller dog, it was difficult to take its measurements. I made a second feeder hoping that Apollo would be as higher or taller than Draco. Some pictures are attached [ATTACH...

Guys I have a General International Table Saw and I always use a piece of wood to hold the blade and the included wrench to turn the nut . I was removing the blade today to get sharpened and payed more attention to the arbor , as it has holes on either side to fit a tool , but I don’t see anything like that online. It’s interesting as I swear I remember seeing a tool in my shop years ago that was like handle with a half moon and a notch on the end , and I had no idea what it was for at time...

I am building a 38" X 38" x 4.5" cabinet to hold my father-in-law's Marine Corp memorabilia. I made 3/8" finger joints in the 1" thick black walnut. I have clamped it up but cannot get it to square perfectly. The problem is I am using Bessy parallel clamps and after getting 4 clamps on the top and 4 clamps on the bottom I dont have any clamp that is long enough to reach over the top of all the clamps except a pipe clamp and that does not have long enough jaws to reach down so I can draw... 38" x 38" cabinet Squaring ..read more

Hey all , I bought this years ago and never got around to installing it . I was kind of disappointed with the purchase ,as I heard they just upgraded it with AAA batteries instead of the first iteration that used those button batteries. So was I ever surprised when I opened the box and realized it was the version that used two AAA batteries . I’m having problems with repeatability, and I’m hoping this may help . I swear the best way to build cabinets would be to have two table saws ,one with... Wixey Saw fence digital readout ..read more

I acquired a used Grex pin Nailer, P645L, recently and worked fine for a while. Recently the gun Nailer stopped working. The ram would not retract back up to fire the next pin. Bought O-ring kit along with a new piston ram assembly. Re assembled and have the same problem. Has anyone experience this before? Comments and or solutions are welcome! Thanks Kim ..read more

Hey all, I have an older Craftsman radial arm saw I purchased used last summer. I haven't done too much with it, but when I have used it I've noticed that the overarm has some play in it even when locked and tightened. I'd guess maybe 1/8"+ when the saw is fully extended, (maybe a little more than that, I haven't used it in a while). I'm going to assume that this is not the norm. Anyone know how to eliminate this? Thanks, Jack ..read more
