Re: [BlindHandyMan] Building A House Out of Nothing At All

[Jewel Blanch]

I think that it was the BBC that mounted a series in which teams of highly 
skilled engineers and physical scientists, using nothing but the materials that 
would have been available at the time,  had to figure out and then demonstrate 
the methods that were probably used to build the wonders of the ancient world 
and one or two that aren't listed as such, but as still engineering marvels.
The engineers/scientists were handicapped in that they only had 3 weeks or a 
month to complete the project and also they did not have access to an unlimited 
labour force as did the engineers/scientists of that world.  However, these 
handicaps should have been balanced to a degree by the vast knowledge that Man 
has accumulated in the last 5000 years.  As it transpired, the reservoir of 
accumulated knowledge did not turn out to be the great advantage that was 
anticipated.
The building of Stone Henge was included although it has been studied for many 
years, so did not present too much of a problem, but others, such as how the 
enormous figures of the Egyptian Gods were sculpted did pose major headaches.
The team that had the raising of the Sphinx as its project had the replica 
almost in its upright position, but they were beaten by the time limit.  
One engineering feat that completely defeated these engineers with all their 
skills was how the removable awning/canopy that covered the vast array of 
seating in the Roman Colosseum was constructed, and how it was able to 
withstand near hurricane winds.
We know that there was such an awning because it was described by Plinny, but, 
unfortunately, he did not give details as to how this engineering miracle had 
been achieved.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] hand tools, was Scroll saws, band saws, cutting shapes

[Lee A. Stone]

Gene, I like your comments on hand tools. One hand tool I used to have 
and might find it if I ever move from here , but it was a Stanley brace 
and bit set up. you know  the one you might lean on and then if you wish 
to go the other way you flip a little do dad  and instant reverse. . I 
got that many years ago in a hand me down  long wooden carpenters  carry 
tool box.  I think it was one of the original Stanley tools. Lee

[BlindHandyMan] Building A House Out of Nothing At All

[Victor Gouveia]

I think what most people are forgetting is that early American Indians, and 
indeed, most aboriginals from all over the world just used a hatchet and a 
knife of some kind to build their shelters back in the day.

Granted, they must have found ways of making their work easier.

For example, A friend of mine never needed any matches to light a fire, all he 
needed was some wood and a little makeshift bow he carried in his pocket.

He would twist the string of the bow around a straight stick, turn the bow on 
it's side, and point the straight stick down into a bigger piece of wood, after 
carving a notch in it.

He would then find two more smaller pieces of wood, grasp them in a pincer 
motion at the top of the straight stick, then proceed to use a sawing motion 
with the bow, from side to side, which would then turn the straight stick at a 
fast speed, causing the friction to build up heat on the larger piece of wood.  
He would then keep a small supply of dried leaves and wood bits close by to 
throw on the heated wood after it started smoking.

Suffice it to say, you can rub two sticks together and get a fire, but not only 
that, but with wigwams, tepees, and huts made of nothing but bamboo and palm 
leaves withstanding hurricane force winds, obviously these people are doing 
something right, and not a single electrical outlet or portable generator or 
compressor in sight.

How do you figure?

Victor Gouveia

[BlindHandyMan] Shows this week.

[Don]

   Well, it finely happened, we had a full house, yes a quorum for a change. I 
must say it felt good to have all the original show members together.
   Our guest is Gail Crow from somewhere in North Dakota as I remember. Gail 
had been on before but a long time ago. Gail has the distinction of being the 
only totally blind person I ever encountered who cut fire wood with a chain 
saw. By the way, He still has all his limes and fingers.
   Guest on the blind like me show is a fellow named Ken Osborn. Ken makes his 
living doing voice over for anything that comes along. One of the reasons He is 
able to do this is, He is very good. 
   Come give a listen to the shows and pleas let us no what you think. 
   Now, here ar the listening lengths for the shows this week.

[BlindHandyMan] hand tools, was Scroll saws, band saws, cutting shapes

[GenePoole]

Problem is, too many modern folks like their table saws and power tools. Bit 
give em n axe and a hatchet and usually you're average backyard woodworker is 
lost. If you're building a cabin in the wilds of Alaska, you're not gonna have 
access to electricity too often unless you run a generator all the time. Which 
up there costs a lot of money. I do not have the knack for woodworking, but I 
have seen some amazing stuff made by hand tools, and far too often the power 
tool jockeys belittle and deride the traditionalists. The great antique bureaus 
of yesteryear were not built with power tools from home depot, remember. And 
while it did take years, to make one of them, they're still around 2 and 300 
years later. Let them speak for themselves.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Scroll saws, band saws, cutting shapes

[Rob Monitor]

Yes and no You can get real close to the blade with your fingers at least with 
the scroll saw I have. You will have to do what I did just get a lot of scrap 
wood and just practice following the lines going up to the blade and learning 
when to turn and do things like that...

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Scroll saws, band saws, cutting shapes

[Armando Del Gobbo]

The router and a template is the only thing I found works for me for cutting 
shapes. 
The band saw with a good fence set up and some careful aligning, works quite 
well for resawing wood.  I found that anything beyond a 1x6 is very difficult 
to keep straight!

table. I'm wondering if some other tools will be worth buying. Here are a few 
random questions I have.
  Is a scrollsaw of any use to a blind person?
  Can a blind person resaw wood with a bandsaw? I'm tired of wasting wood!
  How do blind people cut out shapes. I could use a router and a template I 
suppose, but how do I cut a template?
  I've used a lathe duplicator to copy a template, can a blind person make 
freehand turnings?
  How about sharpening all sorts of tools?

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Scroll saws, band saws, cutting shapes

[Rob Monitor]

Hi, Well I recently  got one of the raised drawing boards and I have bin 
experimenting with it. What I bin doing is I draw a shape on a piece of paper 
using the raised drawing board and then I tape that on a piece of plywood and 
cut it out with my scroll saw. Well it works but it takes a lot of time and 
practice and lots and lots of sanding... Hope I can get better as time goes on 
and more times I do it the easier it seems to get

[BlindHandyMan] How To Hang Cutters and Down Spouts

[Boyce, Ray]

Hi All
* Installing Gutters and Downspouts

COMPONENT PARTS OF GUTTERS AND DOWNSPOUTS

* Gutters and downspouts are constructed of many separate parts and pieces. 
Metal guttering
pieces are usually fastened together with sheet metal screws or pop rivets.

* The basic gutter pieces are commonly offered in standard 10' lengths and are 
usually made of aluminum, plastic or galvanized metal. These are the basic
gutter materials used for most gutter and downspout installations.

* Spikes and ferrules hold the gutter to the wall of the house. The ferrule is 
inserted inside the gutter and the spike is driven through the rim of the
gutter and through the ferrule to hold the gutter in place.

* The slip connector is used to connect two pieces of guttering in the run. The 
connecting joint is sealed with mastic or caulk to prevent leakage. Some
brands of downspouts and gutters slip snugly together and need no mastic or 
caulk.

* The strap hanger is attached under the shingles or other roofing material and 
then to the outside edge of the gutter, providing support for the run.

* The end piece is available with an outlet for the downspout or for simply 
ending a gutter run.

* The end cap ends the run of guttering and is available for left- or 
right-hand use. Some styles must be sealed with either caulk or mastic.

* The downspout takes the water out of the gutter and down to the drainage pipe 
or splash block on the ground. It is attached to the gutter at the outlet
in the end piece.

* The conductor pipe band, or clincher, is a strap used to hold the downspout 
in place. It is nailed or screwed to the outside wall to hold the downspout
securely wherever necessary. This piece is available in various styles and 
types.

* Ball strainers can be inserted in the end piece to prevent leaves and other 
bulky material from clogging the downspout or drainage pipes. Several other
types of gutter covers are available as well. While not absolutely necessary, 
strainers and gutter covers can be helpful.

* In some cases, strap hangers are the wraparound type. The style of strap 
hanger you use is more a matter of choice or manufacturer's design than of 
function.
The strap hangers shown both serve the same purpose-to hold the gutter in place.

* An inside miter is used when it becomes necessary to make an inside turn in a 
gutter.

* You can make outside turns in the guttering system by inserting an outside 
miter Use mastic or caulk for sealing the joint where either
inside or outside miters are jointed to the gutter.

* Some downspouts and elbows are round instead of square.

* It sometimes becomes necessary to make turns in downspouts. When a turn is 
required to pull the downspout toward or away from the house, use square elbows.
Two of these elbows used together, make an offset of several inches in the 
downspout. The crimp in downspouts and elbows usually makes
mastic or caulk unnecessary at the joints.

* To make a turn in the downspout either to the left or right, use the square 
elbows shown in B. Two of these elbows mounted together divert the direction
of the downspout to the left or right by several inches.

* A square shoe is used at the bottom of the downspout. This turns the flow of 
water onto a splash block where the downspout ends.

Gutters and downspouts are constructed of many separate parts and pieces.

INSTALLING GUTTERS AND DOWNSPOUTS

* The most commonly used gutters and downspouts are made of galvanized metal, 
aluminum or plastic. Various component parts described in step 1 are required
to complete the job.

* Strips of guttering usually come in 10' lengths. First, measure the area 
where the guttering is to be installed and determine exactly how many feet of
guttering and how many of the basic component parts you need.

[BlindHandyMan] A Guide to Applying Roof Shingles

[Boyce, Ray]

Hi Everyone
Applying Roofing Shingles
Laying Shingles in Roof Valleys

Whether you're replacing a few damaged shingles or starting a complete 
re-roofing job, the following step-by-step instructions can make your project 
easier.
Take a few minutes to read the instructions carefully before starting and you 
can save time, money and effort while completing a better job.

IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER

* Working on any roof can be dangerous. You should take every safety precaution 
possible and always use extreme care while working on the roof.

* Use common sense while working on the roof. Let someone know you are up there 
- or better yet, work with a helper.

* Use a ladder that is high enough and strong enough for the job you are doing. 
Secure the ladder at the top and bottom before climbing it.

* Use extreme caution when working near power lines, conduits or TV antennas. 
Never touch them or allow a metal ladder to come in contact with them.

* Never start a roofing job in cold or wet weather. Also, allow early morning 
dew to disappear before beginning your work.

* Wear heavy, rubber-soled shoes with a non-skid tread to prevent slips and 
avoid wearing loose clothing.

* If the roof slopes more than a 6" rise for every 12" horizontally, use roof 
brackets and boards to provide extra footing support. Place all tools and
shingles within easy reach and where they will not slide off the roof.

* Keep the roof surface clean and free from loose nails and shingles. These can 
cause you to slip and fall.

* Keep people away from below the area where you will be working.

DETERMINE THE MATERIALS NEEDED

* Roofing shingles are sold in "squares." Most asphalt shingles are baled 
together with three or four bundles per square.

* First, measure the length and width of each area of the roof. For each area 
of the roof, multiply the length times the width. Then add the results for
the total square feet of shingles needed. Measure all dormers and extensions.

* Divide the total square footage by 100 and purchase that many squares of 
shingles.

* Purchase an additional 10 percent of the number of shingles for cutting, 
waste and starter courses and to save one bundle for future repairs.

* You'll also need about 2-1/2 lbs. of roofing nails for each square of 
shingles. Use hot-dipped galvanized roofing nails, either 11- or 12-gauge with a
3/8" diameter head, or follow the shingle manufacturer's recommendation for the 
type of nails to be used.

* Use 1-1/4" or 1-1/2" nails for new roofs, or 1-3/4" nails for re-roofing or 
repairs.

* If you are starting a new roofing job, or a complete re-roofing project, 
you'll also need enough 15-lb. roofing felt to cover the entire roof area 
underneath
the shingles.

* You'll need roofing cement for edges, flashings and ridges.
list end

SELECT THE SHINGLES

* There are many types, styles and sizes of asphalt shingles.

* Your selection process should begin with the type and grade of asphalt 
shingle needed for the type of building. Some factors to consider are the 
purpose
of the building, the slope of the roof, local weather conditions and the 
design, style and size of the structure.

* The exposure for each type of shingle is usually specified by the 
manufacturer. However, for most common shingles, a 5" exposure is standard.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

* You can successfully lay asphalt shingles over any existing roof. However, if 
there are more than three layers of old roofing on the structure, they must
be removed completely before applying new shingles.

* Make any necessary repairs to the roof structure before beginning the 
re-roofing project.

* Drive down or remove any loose or protruding nails.

* For re-roofing jobs, re-nail any loose shingles and replace any missing 
shingles with new ones. (See the upcoming repair section).

* If you're applying new shingles over old wooden shingles, nail them securely 
and use feathering strips for a smooth appearance.

HOW TO REPLACE DAMAGED SHINGLES

* Making repairs to an existing asphalt shingle roof is easy when you follow 
these step-by-step instructions.

* Use a small pry bar to pull out the nails holding the damaged shingle. Remove 
both the nails and the shingle.

* If you cannot reach the nails, use a sharp linoleum knife to cut away the 
damaged shingle.

* Always try to replace the damaged shingle with one similar in weight, size 
and color.

* Apply asphalt roofing cement to the back of the replacement shingle before 
putting it into place.

* After positioning the new shingle, nail it down with 1-3/4" roofing nails.

* Position the roofing nails so they are covered by the shingle above. For 
extra protection against leaks, apply a small amount of roofing cement to the
nail heads.

LAYING SHINGLES IN ROOF VALLEYS

* A roof valley is formed where two roofs join at an angle. You must be careful 
when shingling in this area - an improperly laid roof valley can easily
develop leaks.

* Valleys should be covered with a minera

Wait!

Don't forget the bucket and shovel you'll need to mix up the couple hundred

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Adaptive woodworking tools

[Tom Fowle]

You can build a house with mud and straw and thatch and probably using
only your hands, but you wouldn't want to live there in the rain.

You can get your food by hunting and gathering if you live some places
but I'd not take any bets on most modern people surviving that way
including my self of course, so the
discussion has  no point.

  Problem is, too many modern folks like their table saws and power tools. Bit 
give em n axe and a hatchet and usually you're average backyard woodworker is 
lost. If you're building a cabin in the wilds of Alaska, you're not gonna have 
access to electricity too often unless you run a generator all the time. Which 
up there costs a lot of money. I do not have the knack for woodworking, but I 
have seen some amazing stuff made by hand tools, and far too often the power 
tool jockeys belittle and deride the traditionalists. The great antique bureaus 
of yesteryear were not built with power tools from home depot, remember. And 
while it did take years, to make one of them, they're still around 2 and 300 
years later. Let them speak for themselves.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] louvered doors

[David Sexton]

I would cut 45 degree or greater slots into two square posts and fit the slats 
into these and then glue some sort of thin trim over the posts to hide the 
slots. I wouldn't glue the slats into place, but the top and bottom rails to 
the posts or styles to allow for expantion of the slats.
Or, you could just use pegboard for the back.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Adaptive woodworking tools

[Tom Fowle]

David,
You've pretty much said it, click is faster but not as accurate,
roto is a bit slower but can give you 1/64Th accuracy.
The rotomatic base ruler is only 6 inches long whereas the click 
is 12 inches case and measuring bar combined.

I have and use both  and so should you all if you can afford em.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Adaptive woodworking tools

[David Sexton]

I've seen the rotomatic, but never used one. Can anyone offer a comparison of 
the rotomatic and the clickruler? Clickrules seem must faster, but can only 
give you 1/16" accuracy.

  This may be overobvious, but a high quality square, with tactile (the good 
  ones for sighties have fingernail notches) is a necessity, 4ft for roofing 
  or just a 1 ft. You can always use your adapted ruler to make the 
  measurement, but (embarrassed) when I started using a square, things

RE: [BlindHandyMan] The radiator has been disconnected.

[Trouble]

With those stairs, the ramp sounds good. Once you get it on the top 
of the ramp. You can let it go down fast and smooth. The quicker it 
hits bottom. The less weight the stairs have to take, and the ramp 
would disperse the weight also.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Lubrication Question

[Edward Przybylek]

I don't have an air compressor anymore but I do have some canned air that I
use to clean the inside of my computer and circuit boards.  It's worth a
try.  And you're right, any excuse to use a tool ...

Ed
Do you have an air compressor. If so do you have an air nossel that you can
use to blow out any small dust and debree that might be built up in the
Baring?
Might be worth a try.
Any excuse to use a tool such as an air compressor is a good excuse.

Hi,

I've never heard of using talcum powder as a lubricant but I'm willing to
try anything at this point. Thanks.

Take care,
Ed

Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Lubrication Question

Hi all,

The beater bar on my vacuum cleaner has developed a really annoying squeak.
The noise is coming from a small wheel at the front of the beater bar. I'd
like to lubricate it but I'm not sure what to use. My guess is that most
lubricants would cause dust and dirt to build up on the wheel. Does anyone
know of something that would get rid of the squeak and not cause such a
build-up? A dry lubricant, perhaps? Thanks.

Take care,
Ed

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Adaptive woodworking tools

[Lenny McHugh]

Hello David,
I never used a click ruler.I have a talking measuring tape that I use a lot. 
I have the original roto matic measuring device. I believe that NFB sells 
that item. I have some metal blocks that were made for me by a machinist 
friend. Since then I purchased the brass setup bars from mlcs. For setting 
up my router table I highly recommend them.
My talking measuring tape was purchased England it can now be purchased in 
the Us.
I also use an audible level made by the same manufacturer as the talking 
tape.

I've done quite a bit of woodworking using only my clickruler.
My question today is what other adaptive tools have been useful to you such 
as talking measuring tapes, audible levels, metal blocks of certain 
thicknesses, etc. What is useful, where did you get the tool, etc.
Thanks.
David

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Working with Concrete

[Brice Mijares]

There is an old saying when working with concrete.  You don't work the 
concrete, the concrete works you!  Another words, once you start pouring the 
concrete time is essential, No stopping for a break for a beer, cigarette 
ETC. As the concrete sets up pretty fast.
