[BlindHandyMan] Whiny s10

[Robert J. Moore]

I forgot now who posted about their whiny s10

How is it going with tracking down the noise?
Did you ever remove the belt to see if that stopped the noise? I am sure you
know this but you can not run it too long this way but you will know almost
immediatlly if the noise is gone or not.
That is a critical first step.
One component that I forgot to mention in my last post on this topic was the
alternator. Although I don't think that is the problem.

Regards Robert

[BlindHandyMan] Finishing Caractristics Of Common Capbinet Woods

[Ray Boyce]

Hi All
Finishing Characteristics of Common Cabinet Wood

Alder

Hardwood
Closed-grained
Color: light tan
Finishing characteristics: Alder accepts stain well, and is often used to 
imitate more expensive woods. Nicknamed "poor man's birch," it resembles 
birch
when given a clear finish. When stained dark, it will look like walnut to 
the casual observer. A lot of unfinished furniture is made from alder. Since
alder is not well known by the general public, it is often simply called 
"hardwood" by the furniture manufacturer. It is an easy wood to finish; 
practically
any type of finish can be used on it. To bring out the nature color, use a 
clear, penetrating oil. For a lighter finish apply lacquer or waterbased 
varnish.
Alder also looks good with a dark stain and satin varnish.

Ash

Hardwood
Open-grained, ring-porous
Color: Light tan
Finishing characteristics: Ash is it is very similar to oak, but it doesn't 
stain as well, so it is often left unstained. It looks good with a clear 
finish
or a light-colored stain. Clear penetrating oil or a thin coat of satin 
varnish makes a good top coat. The large pores are hard to fill completely 
so it
is usually best to leave them unfilled to show the natural texture of the 
ring-porous grain.

Birch

Hardwood
Closed-grained
Color: Heartwood reddish brown; sapwood almond colored
Finishing characteristics: Birch stains very well. It call be stained to 
match many other types of wood. White birch is cut from sapwood. When you 
want
a very light finish white birch works well.
Birch has a very subtle grain pattern. This makes it accept stain evenly, 
resulting in a uniform color without a pronounced grain pattern.
Birch looks good with practically any combination of stain and top coat. You 
can leave it natural or use a pastel stain for a light colored finish or 
stain
it with a dark stain to simulate cherry, walnut or mahogany. Because of its 
smooth, hard surface, it is a good choice for a penetrating oil finish. 
Birch
accepts shellac and varnish well. No filling is needed to achieve a smooth 
surface.

Cedar; Red, Eastern

Softwood
Closed-grained
Color: Red
Finishing characteristics: Red cedar has a strong, pleasant aroma that 
repels moths, so it has been traditionally used for chests that store 
textiles. The
interior of a cedar chest should be left unfinished to allow the aroma to 
escape from the wood. The exterior of a cedar chest can be finished using 
most
finishing products, but it is usually not stained. Because of the natural 
beauty of the wood, a clear gloss finish is the traditional choice for 
cedar.

Cherry

Hardwood
Closed-grained
Color: Reddish brown
Finishing characteristics: Cherry has a beautiful grain pattern and a fine 
texture For these reasons, a clear penetrating oil finish is a good choice. 
Several
coats of penetrating finish will bring out the natural color and grain and 
can be buffed to a beautiful, soft luster. Cherry also finishes well with 
other
products. It stains well with medium-to-dark stains and can be given a 
high-gloss finish without filling.

Fir

Softwood
Closed-grained
Color: Reddish tan
Finishing characteristics: Fir is a difficult wood to finish well. Its 
summer wood is much denser than the spring wood. This makes it difficult to 
sand
to a smooth, flat surface, because the softer parts of the grain sand away 
faster leaving the summer wood raised slightly above the rest of the 
surface.
It is also difficult to get an even color when staining. The spring wood 
absorbs a lot of stain, while the summer wood hardly absorbs any. This leads 
to
a very pronounced grain pattern when dark stain is used.
One of the best finishes for fir is either a pastel or pickled finish. (See 
Chapter 11.) With these finishes, the characteristics listed above can be 
used
to advantage. For a pickled finish, wire-brush the wood to further 
accentuate the grain, and then apply a pastel stain. Use satin varnish as 
the top coat.
If you want to stain fir a dark color, treat the wood with wood conditioner 
first to help even out the color.

Mahogany

Hardwood
Open-grained, diffuse-porous
Color: Reddish brown
Finishing characteristics: Mahogany is one of the finest cabinetmaking 
woods. There are two varieties of mahogany: African and Honduran. African 
and Honduran
mahogany are similar in appearance and have the same finishing 
characteristics. Mahogany finishes very well. It is open- grained, but its 
pores are small,
so they can be filled well with paste wood filler. It has a beautiful grain 
that is enhanced by reflective characteristics that change as the viewing 
angle
changes. The traditional finish for mahogany is designed to enhance these 
reflective qualities.
Stain the wood with ,medium-dark stain. Fill the grain with paste wood 
filler. Use colored filler that matches the stain. Apply four thin coats of 
rubbing
varnish. Wet-sand the finish with 600- grit sandpaper, and then rub it out 
with rubbing compound.
Lacquer and shellac are al

[BlindHandyMan] wiring speakers in my pickup

[Robert J. Moore]

Hi
I just baught a new pair of speakers for my pick up. The wires on the pickup
have a factory connecter and the new speakers came with leads that slide
onto two seprat tabs the wider one is the positive and the narrower one is
the negative. They happen to be 4 by 10, three ways.  that mount on the back
corner of the cab.
My question is how can I tell which of the wires are wich on the truck and
with a standerd factory Delco radio does it matter which way they are wired?
I need to cut the factory connecter off and splice on the new wires that
came with the speakers.
I am assuming that I will get sound either way that I hook it up but I don't
know if  over time it will do harm to either the speakers or the radio.
If it is of any help I am talking about the rear speakers in my89   S10.

I have a double burner grill and both burners have a temp

I have cranked this grill down so low as to do Dutch oven
cooking, baked fish, chicken or Devil dog barbecued ribs. I
have also turned it up high enough to do a quick steak or

It took a bit of getting use to but now I have made friends

Dear Don and list members:
I can not imagine a gas grill without a control valve
which regulates the temperature. If the grills have a
regulating valve, but the heat remains too intense, I would
contact the manufacturer or the dealer where it was
purchased, to discus a repair.
Our Sears grill, which is ten or fifteen years old, has
a whole in the bottom where grease or other juices drip out,
and there is a wire holder which holds a jar or can which
catch the material during cooking. It is easy to empty this
container between cook-outs.

I agree that charcoal still has the best flavor and the
next grill I buy will have that as an option, if not the
only method of cooking.

Yours Truly,

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Does your gas grill burn to hot?

[Don]

Last  March,  on a nice sunny day I did the same thing.  Thought it would be 
nice to have a nice  brand new shiny  gas grill.  Wrong, bad choice.  I don't 
like it much.  Great for cooking a steak,  are something that needs to be 
cooked really quick.  But a damned  high priced steak cooker.  Give me charcoal 
any day.  the thing is a pain too clean,   And it drips grease.  I am really 
disappointed in gas grills.  On the other hand,  I all so bought an electric 
smoker,  Love it.They all so make some fine propane smokers.  To keep this 
on topic.  I haven't found a good handy way to keep the grill a fix for the 
heat.  Don

  Last year I bought a new stainless steel gas grill for the back yard. Well
  I was disappointed with it because it burned to damn hot. It was fine for
  steaks and burgers, but to hot for chicken. Yesterday, I was at a family
  owned hardware store that was having a 50 percent going out of business
  sale. Probably due to Home Depot that opened last year. Anyway, I ask if
  there was such a regulator for a gas grill that I could regulate the amount
  of gas being fed into the burners, and I was told such a beast did exist,
  but they had no more in stock. So, while going to the store with my wife,
  she noticed a True Value store, so we stop and checked them out for the
  regulator. Well, this damn regulator was $29. and I decided I'd look else
  where to see if I could get it cheaper.
  Anyway on the regulator itself, there is a valve you can turn to open it up
  more, or turn to lower the amount of gas flowing into the gas burners. So 
  if
  you have a grill that burns to damn hot, here's your solution. Hope this
  wasn't off topic for the list.

[BlindHandyMan] Castor Questions and Answers

[Ray Boyce]

Hi All
Question: What type of wheel do I use for carpet?
Answer: Caster rule of thumb: use a hard wheel on carpet and a soft wheel on 
hard floor surfaces. Wheels like Polyurethane, Polyolefin or Nylon will work
well on carpet.
Question: What type of wheel do I use for hardwood floors?
Answer: Caster rule of thumb: use a hard wheel on carpet and a soft wheel on 
hard floor surfaces. Wheels like Polyurethane or Rubber will work best on 
hardwood
floors. Rubber is the best, however, if you must also roll over carpet, then 
we recommend polyurethane which is compatible with both.
Question: What size wheel do I need?
Answer: Caster rule of thumb: The larger the wheel diameter, the easier it 
rolls. Choose the largest wheel diameter for your application. If size 
doesn't
matter, choose a large wheel.
Question: I'm putting the casters on a storage unit. What type of wheel do I 
need?
Answer: Caster Wheels that are left in the same place for long periods of 
time with heavy weights may develope a flat spot depending on the wheel 
material.
The harder the wheel material the less likely it is to go flat. Very hard 
wheels like Phenolic or Steel are recommended for heavy storage 
applications.
When designing your application, choose a caster where the entire weight of 
the application can be supported by one caster. By doing this, each caster
is only "working" at 25% of it's capacity and flat spots due to storage will 
most likely be avoided.
Question: I need casters for my workbench. What do you suggest?
Answer: Our
Total Locking Casters
are excellent for this application. They lock both the swivel and the wheel. 
We also recommend these casters for woodworking tools such as table saws, 
radial
arm saws, drill presses, etc.
Question: Is "Capacity" for one caster or four casters?
Answer: Our "Capacity" specifications are for a single caster or wheel. If 
you are using 4 casters, the total capacity would be 4 times our stated 
capacity.
Example: A chair caster with a maximum capacity of 80 lbs would have a 
maximum capacity of 400 lbs if 5 were used on a chair.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Does your gas grill burn to hot?

[Bill Gallik]

Doesn't your gas canister have a valve on it that you could use to control
the amount of gas fed to the burners?

Re: [BlindHandyMan] casters

[R & S Enterprises]

Well two thoughts come to mind.  If the casters are the style with the metal 
mounting plate is relatiave easy to lay it on a table and measure up from the 
table to the top surfface of the caster wheel.  If the style is such that a 
stem is mounted into a hole then I would get a scrap of wood, drill the correct 
size of stem hole and insert the caster.  Then with the scrap laying on the 
bench measure from the scrap to the top of the wheel like was done with the 
plate mounting stuyle..  Yes carpet makes things a little difficult at times.

  Hi Listers,
  Is there a trick on how to figure out the correct height of casters? I just 
brought the TV stand up stairs and have a small problem that I can correct. I 
mounted the casters so that 3/4" of the wheel protrudes from the bottom. Well 
the drawer that I built in the bottom does not work. It is sunk into the 
carpet. I am planning on first putting a 1/4" shim under the wheels, then if 
necessary 3/8" and then 1/2" shims until I find one that will work. There must 
be an easy way to figure out exactly what measurement I need.
  My daughter doesn't care she just wants the stand in her room. I will make 
her wait at least 48 hours to make sure that the polyurethane is cured.
