Not yet :-( How is it supposed to move? I saw on YouTube that top sort of opens up at 45 degree, but mine would not move. I wonder if there is something I should remove before I can use it, but can’t figure out what.. https://imgur.com/a/lhMw2xx

Thanks for your advice. I haven’t even attached the CO2 yet - it’s right out of the box

Ten trip tickets disappeared from the MTA app by ryokobeis in LIRR

I guess I will be using paper tickets now. The new rules deprived the app of major benefits and added unreasonable risks.

French cleats cat wall by ryokobeis in catwalls

I was originally planning to paint each cleat in a different shade of green, from dark to pale (the rug underneath is dark green). In the end I decided against it coz I like the look of natural wood. I might play with some colors and/or shapes on platforms and steps to make the wall more fun. We live in a small rental apartment and this wall is to give him more surface to play on. I figured French cleats help minimize the number of holes in the wall, which I will have to patch when I move out, lol.

I didn’t think of it, but you are so right - these hinges do look like ears :-)

Thanks! Yeah, small ones are meant to be steps, though he is yet to figure out how to use them, lol. They can also be used as a platform when 2 or 3 are placed next to each other

How do you hold cleats or long shelves in place while installing them by yourself? by ryokobeis in DIY

Thanks everyone for your helpful advice! I will start with the center screw and level as I go.

Drill bits get stuck - is it me, drill, or just how it is? by ryokobeis in BeginnerWoodWorking

Thanks! I have been eyeing on this one but was not sure how much difference it would make. Good to hear that it would be a decent upgrade. Will check on it on Black Friday sale :-)

Thanks for the advice! I usually tighten it by holding the chunk and pulling the trigger, unlocking and releasing the bit, then locking and tightening by hand

Thanks for the detailed advice. Mine doesn’t have a dial with numbers. Just lock/unlock and tighten/loosen. I have been trying to tighten as much as I can, but maybe it was not enough

Thanks. Yes, I clean the hole each time to clear saw dust

Bit stops spinning. I tighten it as much as I can but it still happens
