Re: [BlindHandyMan] Veritas Sharpening System

[woodworkingfortheblind]

You're welcome!

In my earlier e-mail I did not include anything on the Veritas Mark II Honing 
Guide which I do not have and have not used. It seems to be a souped-up version 
of the original Veritas sharpening system. The catalog lists the Mark II Honing 
Guide as Item Number 05M09.01 and the description reads: The key to consistent 
and fast honing is repeatability and this guide delivers it in spades. It will 
set angles from 15 degrees to 54 degrees and a range of back bevels from 10 
degrees to 20 degrees. It can easily accomodate chisels as narrow as 1/4 inch 
and blades as wide as 2 7/8 inches and up to 1/2 inch thick. The 
blade-registration jig slides onto the guide body, centering and squaring the 
blade with an integral fence. The blade stop has discrete positions for preset 
bevel angles. Features a three position eccentric roller, allowing you to hone 
micro-bevels quickly and accurately with only a turn of a knob. Manufactured 
from die-cast zinc alloy with precision machined brass and steel par
ts. For the user, this means quick, accurate sharpening and perfectly 
repeatable results, reducing unnecessary stone and blade wear. End of 
description.

The photo shows the blade regstration guide to be an aluminum plate about 2 
inches wide and 6 inches long. A series of lines are marked across the face of 
the plate indicating registration for various angles. There is a C-clamp type 
stop along one edge which is the registration blade stop. It tightens with a 
knurled knob and there are detents along the long edge for exact positioning of 
the stop. This feature would be very useful to blind woodworkers although you 
would have to know which angle  corresponds to which detent. The registration 
jig attaches to the guide body with a knurled knob. 

There are two different scales for registration. A red scale is for high angles 
of 25, 30, 35 40, 45, 50 and 54 degrees. A yellow scale is for standard angles 
of 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 degrees. The red and yellow registration marks are 
different. For instance, the red high angle line of 40 degrees coincides with 
the yellow standard angle of 30 degrees. I do not know why there is this 
difference and do not know their definition of high angles. This registration 
guide seems to be much simpler to operate than the angle jig in the original 
system.

The Mark II honing guide is an advanced version of the original honing guide 
described in the earlier Veritas Sharpening System e-mail.

The micro-bevel sharpening echnique is amazing. There is a knob on the side of 
the honing guide which can be pulled out slightly to turn it to a new position. 
Honing is done with the knob mark in the up or 12 o'clock position. Say you are 
honing at 25 degrees. When finished, turn the knob to the middle or 3 o'clock 
position and you can quickly hone a 1 degree microbevel at 26 degrees. Next, 
turn the knob to the down or 6 o'clock position and quickly hone an additional 
1 degree microbevel at 27 degrees. It takes only a few strokes on the stone to 
hone each microbevel. I think it's a fabulous technique. The honing of the 
microbevels goes so quickly because you are honing such a very small angle and 
removing just a tiny amount of steel.

Hi Dan.  Yes, there is a hot and cold division for the manifold.  There are 
times when mixers are needed to limit temp for the disabled and elderly.  A 
mixer can be put right on the block bascially.   I am finding it quite blind 
friendly.  I wiggle the pipe gently to locate center for the fitting and turn 
the compression ring down.
 I got my water softener hooked up and running today.  Tomorrow I'll be

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Drill Doctor

[Bill Gallik]

I have a Drill Doctor that cost about $70.00 at the local Menard's.  It is
extremely "blind friendly" in that it has a chuck-like piece that you use to
hold the drill bit onto the grinding wheel; this piece has "waves" in the
guiding shoulder to guide the bit appropriately and it also holds the drill
bit at a constant depth so there's no chance of grinding excessive stock on
the bit being sharpened.

As for how well it sharpens; it doesn't sharpen a bit "like new," but it is
very much better than a fully dulled bit.  There's a more expensive Drill
Doctor that does an excellent sharpening job but I can't speak as to whether
or not it is usable by a blind person.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] to fret or to fretless

can't comment on the actual job at hand but I'd highly suggest spending time
with a fretless before you unfret a bass of your own!

Yeah, the subject line says it all.
I'm a bassist and recently I've gotten such wild hairs, I have done 
all kinds of upgrading and swapping bass guitars. Now I have this 
incredibly crazy idea. I want to take a five-string Fender Jazz bass, 
remove the frets, fill -in the empty spaces and have me a fretless. 
So, if anyone has done this, I'd be curious how best to remove the 
frets, but more importantly, what would be a good filler. This is a 
Rosewood fingerboard.

  The Veritas sharpening system, Item No. 05M02.10, consists of an 
angle-setting jig for bvevels and a precision honing guide. To set-up the 
system you insert of chisel into the honing guide and clamp it very lightly so 
you can still adjust the chisel within the guide. Then you take the chisel and 
insert the tip carefully into the angle-setting jig. The jig consists of a 
6-inch long base with a pentagon wheel attached to one end. The whell has 
bevelled undersurfaces set to 15 degrees, 20, 25, 30 and 35 degrees. Choose the 
angle you want, say 25 degrees for a chisel. Then slide the chisel, bevel down, 
tight against the angle-setting jig until the the face of the tool is flush 
with the pentagon wheel face. When it is tight, then clamp the tool firmly in 
the honing guide. Now you're ready to hold the end of the blade on the 
sandpaper or stone and begin rolling the guide forward and back until a 
satisfactory bevel is formed. This honing guide can also be set to add two 
microbevels after
  you've finished with the main bevel.

  I use this system. The honing guide is terrific because the rolling wheel is 
1 1/4 inches long which makes it easy to keep it flat on the stone or 
sandpaper. Also, the microbevels can be honed quickly and they make the chisels 
extremely sharp. The angle-setting jig is another matter. I am sighted and I 
have a great deal of difficulty using the jig and seeing if the chisel is flush 
against the bevelled face of the pentagon wheel. I can't think of a practical 
way for a blind woodworker to use the angle-setting jig other than by feel.

  To do it, have the angle-setting jig lying on a work surface with the 
pentagon wheel to the right and the flat surface of the base to the left. Put 
your right hand over the pentagon wheel and use your thumb and index finger to 
hold the blade firmly in the jig with the point in tight and the blade flush up 
against the bevelled surface on the underside of the wheel. Use your left hand 
thumb and index finger to slide the honing guide forward until the play has 
been taken out and the guide is tight against the blade. Do not exert too much 
pressure on the blade or it will tilt out of flush with the bevelled face of 
the jig. Then tighten the locking screw on top. 

  After just doing this, I measured the distance on top of the plane iron blade 
from its sharp edge back to the gripping disk of the clamp. That distance was 1 
7/32 inches or 31.5 millimeters for the 30-degree setting. At 25-degrees it was 
1 11/16 inches or 42 millimeters.

  An alternative honing guide is the Ecclipse-type guide which consists of a 
small clamp on a threaded rod with a small 1/2-inch rolling wheel also mounted 
on the threaded rod. Tighten the threaded rod to loosely clamp the chisel or 
plane iron blade into the jig. Then measure the distance from the tip of the 
blade to the jig. This distance sets the angle of the bevel. The instructions 
say to use 30 millimeters or 1 3/16-inches for 30 degrees for a chisel and 40 
millimeters or 1 5/8 inches for 25 degrees for a chisel. For a plane iron, use 
38 millimeters or 1 1/2 inches for 30 degrees for a plane iron or 50 
millimeters or 2 inches for 25 degrees for a plane iron. I do not understand 
why there is a difference for chisels and plane irons.

  These Ecclipse-type measurements are different from the measurements I got on 
the Veritas angle-setting jig and I do not understand why.

  From all that I have read there does not seem to be any particular magic in 
getting the bevel exactly at 25 degrees or 30 degrees. Close seems to be good 
enough. A chisel ground at 25 1/2 degrees or 26 degrees should perform nearly 
identically with a chisel ground at exactly 25 degrees. What is magical, 
however, is keeping the angle consistent once it is ground. 

  Of course, there is a major difference between grinding and honing. Grinding 
is done on a grinding wheel with the purpose of setting the angle of the bevel, 
of grinding the bevel to a point and making the edge square to the sides. 
Honing is the next process carried out with fine sandpapers or oil stones or 
water stones. The rougher grits smooth out the scratches from the grinding so 
that the face of the bevel meets the back of the chisel or plane iron in an 
extremely thin point. The finer grits polish the bevel to remove scratches from 
the coarser abrasive and to bring the edge to an extremely fine edge point 
which makes the chisel or plane iron super sharp.

[BlindHandyMan] Emailing: sweatingCopperPipe.htm

[Rob Monitor]

  Sweating Copper Pipe.
  Step 1: The most important thing about sweating copper or anything else is 
clean and hot. Fine sand paper or good sharp steel wool is used to carefully 
clean the end of the pipe going into the fitting and even with new fittings I 
work paper around my baby finger and polish the inside of the fitting and wipe 
any dust or grit out of the fitting and off of the pipe with a rag or the tail 
of my shirt. 
  Step 2: Apply flux. This comes in different forms but usually is a paste like 
grease with what I believe is a mild acid. This helps to clean and reduce 
oxidation as heat is applied and it facilitates the capillary action which 
draws the solder up into the joint actually filling in the small spaces between 
the pipe and the fitting. The professionals buy the stuff in large tins with a 
brush and they apply it very liberally. I cover the end of the pipe, a few 
inches along the pipe and I wipe some into the fitting as well. 

  Step 3: I wind off some solder from the end of the roll and make sure I know 
just where it is. I push the fitting and pipe together, if it is an elbow or a 
T sometimes I will prepare all pieces and push them together to be soldered at 
the same time. I may take the solder wire and glide it along the pipe until I 
feel it come up against the edge of the fitting, feeling it make contact sort 
of as a practice. I may bend the end down a little so I can feel the seam 
better. 

  Step 4: Strike a flame on the torch, I may have to feel the seam of the pipe 
and fitting with the tip of the torch occasionally just to be sure I am where I 
want to be, use lots of heat and, from time-to-time move around the junction. 
When you draw the flame back and wash over the copper, there is a sound it 
makes when the hot part of the flame is directly on the pipe. You come to know 
that sound. Once it is really hot, take the flame away, preferably turn it off 
and touch the solder to the seam. I try to hit the top and move fairly quickly 
to one side and the other side of the pipe. If the pipe is hot enough then the 
heat of the pipe will melt the solder which will run around the seam and get 
sucked into it by the flux. 

  It is easy to burn yourself on the pipe. I don't know off hand just how hot 
solder melts, it is well above the 450 degrees or so which combusts wood and 
paper. 

  It is necessary to work totally dry. Any moisture in the pipe will keep the 
temperature too low for a good joint. There can be nothing more frustrating 
than applying the solder just to have a drop of water fall from some point 
above in the water line and hiss the heat away. 

  I try to assemble as much of the installation as I can on a bench to do my 
best to keep away from under floors or against joists or studs in a wall but 
sooner or later there you are in the most inconvenient place. I have a few bits 
of sheet metal about which I use for shields. I often wet down any wood if I am 
working near it. There are also now heat insulation pads available, I don't 
have any, I forget to buy any and don't think of it until I am in the middle of 
something on a Saturday night! I also usually keep an old towel well dampened 
about and I try not to work in tight places late at night so I have time to 
check for smell of smoke and heat several times before going to bed. If there 
are functional eyes about I will ask them to check for fire as well. 

  There are some fittings like valves which are steel. They require very 
careful cleaning as they tend to have a little corrosion. Remove as much other 
stuff as possible like the valve stem partly so you do not have to heat all 
that extra iron and partly because any O rings and rubber or plastic washers 
will be destroyed by the heat. 

  You should be aware that there is still a lot of lead solder about, ask 
specifically for lead free. There is also flux core solder which is not, in my 
experience, satisfactory for plumbing though some may use it, I don't know what 
it is intended for. The thin stuff is for wiring, maybe the thick stuff is for 
heavy wiring. 

  I have been putting in 3/4 inch pipe for as much of the common runs here as I 
can get to. This is a little harder because it takes a little more heat and you 
need to work around the joint a bit more so it is all hot enough to draw the 
solder in. It is a lot quieter though and preserves pressure much better 
particularly on the second floor and it is not all that much more expensive to 
use. I have been thinking of assembling a network for my compressor, this 
requires a heavier gauge of copper, don't know how it solders. It is cheaper 
though and much lighter to handle than steel pipe and I don't have any taps or 
dies. 

  Another trick I sometimes use is to run the flame into the end of the pipe if 
the joint is fairly near. This gets it hot in a hurry. 

  The worst thing is that I do occasional

Re: [BlindHandyMan] replacing water supply valves

[Dale Leavens]

Hi Scott,

I think there is an article up on the site I wrote on how I sweat copper 
pipe. It takes some patience and isn't without some risk of burns but if you 
have reasonable ears to hear the flame and a light touch with the solder it 
can be done.

If there isn't such an article I can probably write another one but it takes 
some time and I doubt I will be able to do so in the next couple of weeks.

I do remember writing a rather lengthy description for this list many years 
ago and a couple of others for a lady who was the teaching assistant for a 
young lad in an school a couple of years ago, perhaps someone can let us 
know if there is such an article up there.

If they were good boys and didn't use epoxy to glue the frets in, you might
get a very sharp chisel the width of the frett and tap it in under 
an end, thus pryzing it out.  It'd be nice to know what the fretts are
made of, it is probbly something that'd contrast with the rosewood.

Then you'd gotta clean out all the old glue before you replace the fretts
with strips of rosewood that just fit.  They'd probably
have to be hand made and fitted exactly with a file before gluing them in.

You don't wanna use epoxy or anything because you'd wreck that wonderfull 
rosewood texture.

Or at least that's how an out of date fiddle maker's apprentice would
approach the problem.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] replacing water supply valves

[Dale Leavens]

Do you know anything about working with drywall and plaster?

Basically the best way to shrink that hole is to remove any framework around 
the edge of the hole, I think I would then create the framework I want for 
the new access hole first to be sure it is of the correct size then just add 
in wall framing to support that frame. For your purposes probably two 
lengths of 2 by 4, one up each side of the new panel frame joined by lengths 
across top and bottom of the panel frame. If there is more than 16 inches 
space between this structure and the existing wall
framing you might want another vertical. You might then scab a length of 
strapping to bring out the edge of the existing framing member to give you 
something to attach the drywall patch to at the edges and depending on what 
is at the bottom edge of the existing drywall, slide a length of strapping 
half way behind it and fix with screws through the drywall. Now you have 
something to fix a patch to all around the outer edge.

Cut and fit a patch of drywall to fill the hole, you might want to cut out 
the new panel opening but you could do that with a drywall saw after the 
patch is installed or even with one of those new spin saw router sort of 
tools.

Screw the patch into place and get busy with tape and mud and mud and mud 
and sanding and dust and paint and trim out the hole and you are done.

[BlindHandyMan] to fret or to fretless

[Scott Howell]

Yeah, the subject line says it all.
I'm a bassist and recently I've gotten such wild hairs, I have done  
all kinds of upgrading and swapping bass guitars. Now I have this  
incredibly crazy idea. I want to take a five-string Fender Jazz bass,  
remove the frets, fill -in the empty spaces and have me a fretless.  
So, if anyone has done this, I'd be curious how best to remove the  
frets, but more importantly, what would be a good filler. This is a  
Rosewood fingerboard.

tnx

  Here is a list of articles dealing with sharpening that have been recorded on 
CDs by Woodworking for the Blind over the past year. 

  Magazine CD 1 has an article on Sharpening Machines from Fine Woodworking 
182, p. 38.

  Magazine CD 4 has Sharpen With Sandpaper from Fine Woodworking 184, p. 63.

  Magazine CD 12 has Keeping Tools Sharp from Fine Woodworking 189, p. 80. 

  Magazine CD 7 has Bowl Gouge Sharpening from American Woodworker 123, p. 78.

  Magazine CD 9 has Slow Speed Grinders from American Woodworker 124, p. 62.

  Magazine CD 10 has Tune-up an Old Chisel from American Woodworker 125, p. 79.

  Magazine CD 14 has Reshaping the Skew Chisel from American Woodworker 127, p. 
40 as well as Jet's Slow Speed Wet Sharpener from Woodcraft 13 dated January, 
2007, p. 67 and Pinnacle Honing Guide from Woodcraft 14 dated March, 2007, p. 
66.

  Magazine CD 7 has Sharpening Drill Bits from Woodsmith 160, p. 12.

  I cite the magazine name, issue number and page number to help in finding the 
article on the CD. 

  The book Complete Manual of Woodworking issued on Book CDs 3 and 4 also has 
sections on sharpening which are fairly general in approach.

  Any member joining after the time a CD was issued can request back copies so 
that you have a complete library. Any blind woodworker not yet a member can

Re: [BlindHandyMan] replacing water supply valves

Thank you sir for that information. I'll have to start digging into  
this and see what it would take to get this project underway. Well  
I'm sure my wife will have other projects ahead, but being as this  
house is over 20 years old, I often wonder when she'll start  
developing leaks in the coper pipe.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] replacing water supply valves

[Scott Howell]

Ah, yes manifold, I couldn't think of the proper name. Well I guess  
the question I have for you is how you sweated the valve. Not having  
sight, I wouldn't say I wouldn't try, but I'd sure want to know how  
it could be done so I wouldn't wind up with a leak on my hands. grin

[BlindHandyMan] Radio Desk.

[Max Robinson]

I applied the first coat of polyurethane to the radio desk today.  I'm going 
to do 3 coats.  I tried it on a small piece of wood that makes the vent 
trapdoor and Sue's comments were highly favorable.  Wish me luck on the big 
job.

Regards.

Has anyone used a tool called drill doctor to sharpen drill bits. If so is it 
easy for a blind person to use and does it do a good job.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] sharpening tools

[Armando Del Gobbo]

The angle depends on the length of the blade protruding from the unit, and I 
believe that there is a scale included with the instructions.  For example a 
one inch length, gives you a 25 degree!  I haven't use it for a while, so I 
don't remember the scale!

  Thank you for this Ralph.

  Do you think you would be able to set the angle on a new chisel by resting 
  it in the guide and feeling when the bevel is flat on your stone then 
  setting the guide?

  Not having had one in my hands yet I have no idea if this is practical.

  The bevel on a plane blade is probably too thin but maybe a chisel.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] sharpening tools

Ralph,

thanks for the report, and for being the guinea pig.

And Dale, my Shakespeare is a bit rusty, so maybe we could sharpen that and 
some chisels up at the same time.  Sounds like a cool idea.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Pipe Clamps

[Dale Leavens]

Hi Larry,

It might well work, just how rigid though would a four foot length of that 
tubing be? one doesn't want it deflecting when pressure is applied.

The only other consideration is that it needs male threads on one end to 
screw the tightening head end and the other end slides up and down locking 
into place by virtue of a spring loaded toothed dog which bites into the 
pipe preventing it from sliding as pressure is applied at the head end. This 
is why black iron is usually used. Rae painted his, most do not and this too 
can be an issue since the iron can stain wood in the presence of moisture, 
either atmospheric or from glue.

At about 20 bucks per four foot length though your tubing remains pretty 
expensive as well but it might be a bit lighter and less likely to rust.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] sharpening tools

[Ralph Supernaw]

Hi,
 
I have the Veritas Sharpening system and use it.  I need sighted help to set
the honing guide for a specific angle.  Were I organized I'd brialle the
angles for each setting and then could do it myself.  I have sharpened at
least a couple chistles by guessing at the angle.  But, with a new chissle I
would want to set it at a particular angle to save time sharpening.  Once
the angle is set and the blade mounted in the honing guide the rest is just
"back and forth" until you can shave your arm.
 
I like the feature that allows you to set a micro bevel by rotating a knob
without removing the blade.  
 
The results I have had using the guide are far superior to that I have
achieved freehand.  This is also true for my brother who is sighted.
 
Ralph

So, the open part is about the middle of the dome?

That implies to me that your saw isn't exactly true in the vertical, a

  Carl,
  look on the blindhandyman text page, there are some articles there
  about sharpening.

  Unless a tool is very badly damaged you don't need power.

  There are a variety of stones etc. available and guides to help you hold
  tool blades at correct angles.

  Then there is the ssystem where you put fine grade
  sandpaper on a sheet of glass and sharpen against that. Very interesting 
because
  glass is very flat and makes sure you get a flat surface to work against which
  is vital.

  Dry grinders are a poor idea because it is too easy
  to get the tool too hot and detemper it.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] sharpening tools

[Dale Leavens]

I haven't used it and I don't own it and if you worry about sighting along 
this or that then you will never get anything because that is the language 
of the optically enabled. This too is one of the reasons I have not yet 
acquired those jigs. It is my feeling though that for all the fuss these 
things are really a lot more approximate than we would be lead to believe. 
The real trick is to keep the bevel constant so you don't get a convex bevel 
which would make the actual edge of attack way too great. Obviously, if a 
plane blade isn't very close to square to it's edge it will be more 
difficult to line up in the shoe but even a square blade needs alining in 
the plane which also, theoretically requires sighting along the shoe and 
there has never been a blind person do that ever in history.

When I worked in Dawson Creek I once had this old Sudatenland German patient 
who came to canada just before the war, there were a number of them settled 
in the area. I was complaining about having chipped a plane blade. He told 
me to bring it in next time and he brought a hand crank grinding wheel which 
he clamped to the edge of my desk and promptly ground the chip out of the 
blade, touched up another one and a pair of chisels and then honed them 
perfect with an oil stone about two and a half inches by maybe 4. He gave me 
the stone and I use it still.

My point here is that I well remember my father having a wheel like that 
many years ago and me trying to use it. You only have your left hand for 
guiding the blade against the wheel which, doubtless is a little easier if 
you can see but you are only estimating the angle even if you can see 
because you can't observe it from overhead and your right hand is busy 
cranking.

I am betting that a reasonably sensitive touch would aline the edge close 
enough as doesn't matter. Setting the angles to precisely 35 or 40 or 25 on 
the gauge might be more problematic but with the set-up blocks as reference 
one would be within a couple of degrees dead reckoning.

The masters of course do it without a jig by touch and claim absolute 
accuracy and maybe they are right. I am pretty sure most of us could do it 
too only we don't have the instruction or the reliable means of 
verification.

Besides, we are all waiting for you to buy, test and inform us first.

I am thinking I am going to buy me either a Tormek or a Jet. The Tormek rep 
offered to take a day and teach me how to use the Tormek down in Kitchener 
which might have been sales talk but I have thought it might be interesting 
to get a couple of hotel rooms and get a few of us together for a sharpening 
lesson and maybe over to Stratford for some Shakespeare some week-end this 
summer or fall.

[BlindHandyMan] Pipe Clamps

[Larry Stansifer]

Guys,
 
Keep in mind I have no idea what the hell I am talking about
when it comes to that wood stuff however, something came to
mind when you were discussing pipe clamps.
I am not exactly certain how they are configured but let me
throw something out and see if it floats.
 
A very commonly used product in automotive fabrication is
thick walled tubing. it is seamless and ranges in diameter
from 1/2 to 2inch plus.
It is lite, extremely strong and strait. The last stick  I
bought was 20feet long, 3/4inches in diameter and cost me
less than a $100.00.

I used it to build the rear suspension for the El camino as
well as having to make some small spacer brackets for the
rack and pinion steering.

 

My thought was that you guys could take this stuff, cut it
into manageable lengths, and thread the inside diameter so
that you could join pieces together as needed.

If I am full of Sierra hotel India tango let me know and I
will crawl back under Carol's Corvette where I belong.

 

Regards


Larry Stansifer

Re: [BlindHandyMan] sharpening tools

[woodworkingfortheblind]

Here is a list of articles dealing with sharpening that have been recorded on 
CDs by Woodworking for the Blind over the past year. 

Magazine CD 1 has an article on Sharpening Machines from Fine Woodworking 182, 
p. 38.

Magazine CD 4 has Sharpen With Sandpaper from Fine Woodworking 184, p. 63.

Magazine CD 12 has Keeping Tools Sharp from Fine Woodworking 189, p. 80. 

Magazine CD 7 has Bowl Gouge Sharpening from American Woodworker 123, p. 78.

Magazine CD 9 has Slow Speed Grinders from American Woodworker 124, p. 62.

Magazine CD 10 has Tune-up an Old Chisel from American Woodworker 125, p. 79.

Magazine CD 14 has Reshaping the Skew Chisel from American Woodworker 127, p. 
40 as well as Jet's Slow Speed Wet Sharpener from Woodcraft 13 dated January, 
2007, p. 67 and Pinnacle Honing Guide from Woodcraft 14 dated March, 2007, p. 
66.

Magazine CD 7 has Sharpening Drill Bits from Woodsmith 160, p. 12.

I cite the magazine name, issue number and page number to help in finding the 
article on the CD. 

The book Complete Manual of Woodworking issued on Book CDs 3 and 4 also has 
sections on sharpening which are fairly general in approach.

Any member joining after the time a CD was issued can request back copies so 
that you have a complete library. Any blind woodworker not yet a member can 
join by contacting [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hope this helps.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] sharpening tools

[Dan Rossi]

I was just poking around on Lee Valley and am wondering what the Veritas 
Sharpening system looks like.  It is two parts, a honing guide and an 
angle jig.  So, does this just sit above, or in front of, a sharpening 
stone?  Does it look like a blind person could use it?  It talks about 
sighting along a registration line to keep a narrow blade properly 
aligned.

Has anyone used this system?

thanks.

  With a little practice and the right files, one can bring on a good edge, but 
it all depends on the tool you are sharpening. My double bladed ax I use a 
medium file first and than the fine file. On others, like my woodmate, I just 
use a wet stone. On my knifes I just use a steel.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] replacing water supply valves

[Dan Rossi]

Thanks Dale.  My current furnace has the aquastat at about 160 degrees F. 
If I get a new system, not sure of what the water temps will be like, but 
I have tended to run them at lower temps rather than have the issue of 
short cycling the furnace.  although, you can certainly run them too low.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] sharpening tools

[woodworkingfortheblind]

Usually this is done by hand, first tilting the gouge to get the proper bevel 
angle and then smoothly rolling the gouge across the grinder at the same angle 
to sharpen it from edge to edge. It takes a lot of practice.

There are newer tools like the Wolverine sharpening jig that enable you to set 
the angle and easily roll it from side to side while maintaining the angle. 

Go to www.leevalley.com or woodcraft.com and look up Wolverine.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] sharpening tools

[rj]

With a little practice and the right files, one can bring on a good edge, but 
it all depends on the tool you are sharpening.  My double bladed ax I use a 
medium file first and than the fine file. On others, like my woodmate, I just 
use a wet stone. On my knifes I just use a steel.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] RESump pumps

[Dan Rossi]

When my basement flooded back in September, we ended up setting up a 
siphon.  I put a five gallon bucket up on a table, ran a hose from the 
bucket out the window, and kept that five gallon bucket filled by baling 
from the floor to the bucket.  It was a lot of work but we were doing 
about 2.5 gallons a minute.

  Probably the very best way is with a pond of variously graded water stones 
  and a couple of hones, fine oil stones and maybe a diamond hone. As you gain 
  skill you may want one or mor of those bevel jigs to guide the blade while 
  grinding and later honing a very fine edge.

  There is the Scary system (spelling uncertain) which uses sand paper stuck 
  to very flat surfaces like plate glass, this is pretty cheap and can grind a 
  well formed edge.

  Finally I am very impressed with what I have seen in the new generation of 
  slow speed wet grinders. Tormek was probably the first and remains the most 
  expensive but now Delta and Jet have similar units quite a bit cheaper and 
  arguably as good and maybe better. These have a 2 inch wide grinding wheel 
  which turns relatively slowly in a bath of water and which can be finished 
  to grind quite aggressively or finished for a much finer grind and on the 
  other side is a leather wheel which is used with honing compound for a 
  really rather wonderful finish. There is quite a bit of learning with these 
  too, a number of jigs and fixtures for holding various blades from chisels 
  to plane blades or jointer knives and even specially shaped turning chisels.

  A collection of decent stones gets pretty expensive and so does the Tormek, 
  even the Jet is about three hundred dollars US for the basic unit and so far 
  I haven't found a Canadian supplier for it.

  Lee Valley has quite a collection of water stones, probably not the cheapest 
  place to buy but the quality is high, you will have good suppliers up in 
  Newcastle, a specialty shop I am sure and probably not all that cheap. The 
  methods using sand paper are cheap and apparently quite efficient but both 
  are hand grinding and will take some patience if you have to remove any 
  amount of steel for removing any nicks.

  The high speed grinders not only spray sparks which pose a fire hazard 
  particularly for the blind although of the fires I am aware of, none were 
  caused by a blind person, the heat can easily destroy the temper and soften 
  the tool steel. you need to quench frequently and that makes relocating the 
  tool on the rest a bit more challenging.

  I can look for more information on the "scary" system, I know that Larry is 
  familiar with it and of course we have Rae who is becoming expert in the 
  research department, maybe there already is something up there on the Site 
  on it I haven't been there for a while.

  Hope this helps.

ChiliBob,

You said that you ran a line from the hot water tank back to the manifold. 
So does that mean the manifold has a hot side and a cold side?  It would 
seem somewhat silly to be dumping your hot water back through the incoming 
cold water.

Just curious as this is all very interesting to me as I am thinking about 
doing a major rework of my hot water heating system.

Hi Larry
 
Hell yeah! I have a friend who has an El Camino hotrod. The only thing is,
the rear tires bounce like a basketball off the line. Major big block power.

 It's certainly not a red neck thing. And rust? The day i have rust on my
Hot Rod, is the day i have a mental breakdown.

OK guys...

Does my El Camino hotrod qualify? or is this one of those
rusted out, redneck, rifle rack, kind of things.

BTW Robert,
That old Panel truck you mentioned could possibly have the
350CID LT1 four bolt main motor. That is the same base block
I used for the El Camino and the damn things are about
bullet proof.
Let me dig through my engine code resources and see if there

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Board stretcher.

[Dan Rossi]

Dale,

I am not coping the trim boards, I am not that patient or good.  These 
trim boards would not be right for coping anyway, I don't think.  These 
weren't quarter round.  These are the trim pieces called T boards, that 
bridge the transition from tile to wood.  So they look a bit like a 
mushroom in cross section with a slightly domed finished top part about 
2 inches wide, and a stem that runs down the bottom middle that is about a 
half inch wide and a half inch deep.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] replacing water supply valves

[Dale Leavens]

Good point Larry,

Scott, where is this wall with the hole? I assumed it would be inside 
because we couldn't expose a water meter or other water valves to the 
outdoor climate like that without them freezing and being destroyed.

Is this an exterior wall? Presumably those who read the meter need to have 
visual access to it or are your meters now electronically read? If visible 
access is required would a window be appropriate access?

What sort of wall has that huge hole in it?

Hi Robert,
 
You would like my 4 foot Bowtie in the window at the house. I am a die hard
Chevrolet fan. Actually I'm more of a GM fan. Because I own a GMC.
Professional Grade.
It's just what i prefer. I'm a fan of almost any kind of old HotRod.

OK guys...

Does my El Camino hotrod qualify? or is this one of those
rusted out, redneck, rifle rack,  kind of things.

BTW Robert,
That old Panel truck you mentioned could possibly have the
350CID LT1 four bolt main motor. That is the same base block
I used for the El  Camino and the damn things are about
bullet proof.
Let me dig through my engine code resources and see if there
is a way to tell without pulling the oil-pan.

Thanks for telling us this two times, Max!  Does that mean you ended up cutting

I've had that happen to me.  I cut the board off three times and it was
still too short.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Pipe Bluing Clamps

[Armando Del Gobbo]

Hi, 
by threading the pipe at both ends, and having a variety of lengths, by using a 
coupling to join them, you can achieve almost any length you need.

  You are fortunate to have the pipe for free. When you add the cost of new 
  black iron pipe they become actually quite expensive. They are heavy too, 
  mind you mine are three quarters inch pipe which must be nearly an inch 
  outside diameter.

  One other advantage is that you can always have extra lengths of pipe and 
  convert your supply of clamp heads to a variety of clamp lengths.

  When clamping boards edge-to-edge take care to alternate the pipe clamps on 
  opposite faces as they tend to cause the boards to bow away from the pipe 
  side unless balanced from the other side. The force isn't exactly at right 
  angles to the long direction of the pipes.
