Bill, Yes, pilaster dogs could be made of wood, especially if you were only trying to make a few parts. But if you're trying to make lots of them, then screwing the parts to the same wooden blocks won't do for long. Today I was using the dogs to make some pickets for a fence project. I started by saying that purchasing the dogs when I bought the 900 was a mistake. 20 pickets into the project I realized that I would probably be making new wooden dogs. Imagine all the enlarged holes in the dogs.
