RE: [BlindHandyMan] figuring out how steep a slope of a hill is.
Use a board and hold it straight and level from the top of the hill, then at the end of the board measure straight down to the ground. for every 12 inches in length, a 27 percent grade will drop 3.24 inches. for every 12 inches in length, the drop will be 1.8 inches for a 15 percent grade. I would do this a few places a long your hill just to get an average.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Cleaning Paint brushes.
Whenever we buy any kind of paint or finish, I ask what is needed to clean the brushes. Most of the time they say mineral spirits, or warm soapy water. I prefer just using paint thinner.

Ah you failed to let us know what you used for a finish. Usually the can tells what is the proper solvent for cleaning.. Actual should clean up with mineral spirits. Deft which is a brushing lacquer has to use lacquer thinner. Latex stuff be water based. Shellac requires alcohol. Final clean up usually should be hot soapy water.

I think it's pretty good for a first project. Anyway, I now have several brushes I used in the finishing process which now appear to be useless because they are stiff with old dried finish. After applying each coat I tried to clean them with mineral spirits but they still became stiff after drying. Did I do something wrong or are brushes only good for one use? If that's the case I'll buy the cheapest brushes I can find. Those little foam pads with wooden handles are 79 cents a piece and are obviously meant for a single use. So what's the secret?

Re: [BlindHandyMan] figuring out how steep a slope of a hill is.
My idea is very similar to others. Using a board of a known length, put a level on it, with of course one on the ground. Measure the distance to the ground from the end in the air. Make sure the measurement is taken from the side touching the ground and not the top of the board. Divide the measurement by the length of the board. Make sure both numbers are in inches or feet. Tjhe decimal fraction is the percent of grade. Move the decimal point two places to the right for correct percent statement.

[BlindHandyMan] Woodworking for the blind.
I have signed up for woodworking for the blind and now have my first issue. I have finished reading the January edition of woodworking magazine and it's very good. I was especially interested in a report on the saw stop saw. For those who haven't signed on yet the saw stops in about 2 tents of a second after the blade contacts human flesh. They did a test with a hot dog and there was only a little nick in it that if it were in a finger would only need a bandade. It costs about 120 dollars for replacement parts every time the saw is stopped in this way, but how much is a finger worth? I wish they had reported on the wet wood test. They did it but neglected to tell us of the results. No criticism of you Larry, you can only read what's in the magazine. Regards. Max. K 4 O D S.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Woodworking for the blind.
Wet wood will cause a change in conduction and will be picked by the safety mechanism and lock the blade. For that reason, before using wet wood, the machine sensor has to be turned off. -- Larry Martin Woodworking for the Blind --joining the world of blind wood workers -- Original message -- From: Max Robinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have signed up for woodworking for the blind and now have my first issue. I have finished reading the January edition of woodworking magazine and it's very good. I was especially interested in a report on the saw stop saw. For those who haven't signed on yet the saw stops in about 2 tents of a second after the blade contacts human flesh. They did a test with a hot dog and there was only a little nick in it that if it were in a finger would only need a bandade. It costs about 120 dollars for replacement parts every time the saw is stopped in this way, but how much is a finger worth? I wish they had reported on the wet wood test. They did it but neglected to tell us of the results. No criticism of you Larry, you can only read what's in the magazine. Regards. Max. K 4 O D S.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] hitting the ceiling
Turn the house over and use a floor sander.

[BlindHandyMan] Brewing
Hi Kevin, My brewing system has evolved over the years. I started by boiling water and malt extract in the kitchen to brewing outside. I don't see much of the kitchen any more because of boil overs. But I purchased a big gas stove and I am now boiling over out side! Actually, it is not that bad, it is just better being outside drinking a few hand crafted beers with friends while brewing outside. My current setup consists of 3 half barrel kegs that I use to mash, sparge, and boil in. Basically, it is a 3 tear system. The top level is for hot water for rinsing grain, the middle is the mash tun where you soak the crushed grain, and the bottom level is the boiler. It is a very interesting process. I really enjoy making Pale Ales, Porters, and Stouts. My basic standard beer is a Sierra Nevada clone with a tun of Cascade and Centennial hops. Tell me about the types of beers you like to brew and your setup. I would love to hear about it. I don't know any other blind brewers. It would be cool to share notes.
