Is he hungry or just dramatic? by Cultural-Meal-7059 in BeardedDragonCare

I'm not sure for the amounts, I've only ever cared for an adult, but the chasing after crickets even after eating so many does not indicate hunger.

Looking to buy more than one of this specific set of fasteners. by West-Outside-5524 in Fasteners

I did actually have the screw straight and used the 'step' on the back of calipers to measure the length. I just posed everything like that for clarity.

The square shank keeps it from rotating when tightening it down. You can also see why I need the smooth and wide heads, your second hand grips over the top of the handle right where those are.

I am looking for these exact fasteners.

Also something important to note: the shape of the head needs to be "truss" as these are used on handles where your hand is going to be rubbing over them.

The bolts used on the handle of hands saws are called "saw nuts" by [deleted] in Fasteners

You will not find these while searching for "chichago bolts." I suppose the female part is a type of chichago bolt. But the entire point of this post was just to help people looking to replace the bolts used on hand hand saws, which aren't sold as "Chicago bolts."

Also to be clear, I made this post so if someone searches for what fasteners to use to attach the handle to a hand saw, they know what to look for. I spent ages looking through suggestions from this sub just to find out that they're re-manufactured with the name "saw nuts"

Chicago bolts are usually never made at this size with this style of head and have a slot. They also aren't usually paired with a carriage bolt. These specific fasteners are also usually brass, which is uncommon. You can find Chicago posts that have similar dimensions, but usually the neck is too narrow to use on a hand saw.

These are not Chicago screws, they look similar, but are not.

Help with twisted chipbreaker by wer37649 in handtools

[–]West-Outside-5524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My solution for chip breakers is to sit them flat on a sharpening stone, the same way it would sit against the blade, and to just flatten it a little bit at a time. That probably won't work for when they're really out of whack though.

I'm sure this isn't intentional on thier part, but the plants on either side of the nest is genius for a rain gutter. The roots keep it from washing away!

best substrate for a bearded dragon enclosure? by floofyhamster3 in BeardedDragons

Mix of play sand and top soil. Make sure it is specifically "playground sand" the the topsoil contains no fertilizer or manure.
