still having issues but trial an error wins out.I bought a 11 pixel camera an 10 pixel on its way.I found both on "offerup" on the web,both $1o.I was able to trade wood work for one.He wanted a 4,5 deep 22" long 77" tall shelf with a shelf every 15".2.5 hours later its all one an painted white,he gave me the camera an $60 balloons to boot.boy am i happy.I forgot to take pictures but i ripped 3/4" plywood on the table saw 4.5" and did enough strips to finish the job after cutting to the correct lenght.i worked on the concrete on my knees ,finish nailed with 2" nails glued together too an put a brown masonite on the back.three coats of paint an its done.I tryed my brand new pin nailer and finish nailer (air) and they would jam after one nail.Harbor freight stuff for $20. a piece.?So the ryobe finish nailer 18 volt got the job done.

You tend to get what you pay for Kevin.  Harbor Freight tends to be ok for little stuff and occasionally the bigger tools as well I have had a DA sander from them for almost 8 years now with no problems.  I guess it is the luck of the draw because their quality control is kinda spotty.  You might need one of those garden pads to kneel on.

As a kneeler ad we use some of the heavier laminated foam that comes as some packing material!

 

Maybe even look around the back lot of the warehouse for some empty boxes; even a couple layers of cardboard are a lot easier on the knees than concrete.  This is an old mechanics trick when working under where a down fall of dirt was going to happen too, much faster and easier cleanup! 

 

I always have a few larger  pieces of boxes to use like that. I even use them as bench savers too.

My heath (arthritis ) has gotten so bad that if something needs to be done it had better be a sit down job or its not going to happen.
