Stretched@Birth Posted September 11, 2017 Share chat to the owner to buy a babies mattress, or similar, cut to the size of the new bed, make a "sleeve" like a cushion out of old towels and then another sleeve from whatever fabric .... that old puppy will appreciate the soft and comfy bed.Mattresses have been ordered, the seamstress is just not as efficient as the carpenter...

Ed-Zulu Posted September 12, 2017 Share Question to fellow chippies = the cheapest local 12mm pine ply (interior) comes in at R485/sheet, rather expensive. What do you pay in your respective areas for 12mm ply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bloody difficult to get it even as there are 3 separate strings controlling the drop, and the clamp doesn't clamp them all at the same time. So I ended up just getting it at the proper position and tying the strings together. as long as the clamp is activated *just so* it stays level. trying to get it level by just tugging on one string is a recipe for insanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket-Boy Posted September 13, 2017 Share how wide is that door?I may or may not have had the same thought. It looks a little narrow for a wheelchair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted September 13, 2017 Share Seriously BAD idea ! I have the Makita saw which is a great machine but I would NEVER do that on the saw. Any particular reason you wouldn't?Seems widely used on various youtube channels.
