[BlindHandyMan] test drive Freud biscuit joiner
Hi All, Although I am still considering the dowel max jig I will be test driving the Freud js100a biscuit joiner. I have been reading reviews on these machines and found many negative reviews on all makes and models. I found this machine at Lowe's for $100 and Lowe's gives a 5 year warranty and a 90 day satisfaction guarantee on this model. I figure in the next few weeks I can decide if this is the way that I want to go. On one other brand review it was highly recommended that you wear eye protection, that is so when you throw the machine against the wall that it won't bounce back and hit you in the face.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] washers
1960s for many years, it had wash and dry on a single timer cycle. It used cold water to cool the excess heat from the dry cycle and thus did not need an air vent. The dry was very hot, but if the cloths could stand the temperature it did a good job and no need to move cloths from one machine to the other. It was a front loader and had no agitator, seemed very easy on cloths but was pretty noisy. the dryer kept blowing thermostats so i just used it as a washer for years till it blew a pump and the main tub bearings were going out. tom Net-Tamer V 1.13 Beta - Registered To listen to the show archives go to link http://acbradio.org/handyman.html or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday The Pod Cast address for the Cooking In The Dark Show is. http://www.gcast.com/u/cookingindark/main.xml Visit The Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following address: http://www.jaws-users.com/handyman/ Visit the new archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!

[BlindHandyMan] last week, the washer, this week the dryer
Last week my washer went down due to the dogs in the agitator. I fixed that problem, and now my dryer isn't heating. Yesterday I pulled it out, and disconnected the hose leading to the exhaust vent. Then I turned it on and plenty of air was blowing out. So I eliminated any kind of obstruction. Now, I'm perplexed. I don't know if it's the heating element, a thermostat, or something else. So gang, give me some ideas. I hate to go buy a new heating element and find out that wasn't the problem, even though I'm leaning towards the heating element since it's around 17 years old. By the way, it's a Kenmore.

I don't remember it having any kind of lock on the door either. The water level would go half way up the window in the door. The only time my Mom used it was for blankets, and that kind of thing.

Hi All Antique Furniture Defined Shopping for antique furniture can be exciting and fun. But with all the differing terminology out there, it can be confusing too. For instance, do you know the difference between a buffet and a sideboard? How about a chifforobe and a chiffonier? Read on to find out. Buffet vs. Sideboard These two terms are used interchangeably quite often, and for good reason. They're essentially the same thing. The French actually define a buffet as a small sideboard used for storing dishes. So perhaps a buffet might be a little smaller than a sideboard, but it serves basically the same purpose. In both pieces dishes and serving utensils are stored below with a flat surface above to display and serve prepared food. Some buffets and sideboards feature large mirrored backs with display shelves attached while others have no back at all. The features incorporated depend on the period and styling of the piece. Is it a Highboy, a Chiffonier or a Simple Chest of Drawers? In the bedroom, some wonder whether they own a highboy, a chiffonier or a simply a chest of drawers. Well, since a highboy amounts to being a tall chest with a legged base and a chiffonier is a high narrow chest, they're both technically chests of drawers. The chiffonier sometimes has a swivel mirror attached to the top as well. With little closet and storage space built in to most period homes, the more drawers a chest held the better for the owner. To meet the storage demands of modern consumers, furniture makers often emulate the styling of Colonial highboys and American oak chiffoniers when reproducing traditional styles sold in furniture stores today. The Difference in Armoires and Wardrobes Another piece of furniture back in favor these days is the armoire. Originally produced in medieval times to store armor (hence the name), these lofty pieces find a place in every room of the house. Whether new or old, the armoire's traditional role of adding storage space for clothing has expanded to holding everything from electronics to linens. As with large chests of drawers, the armoire added storage capacity in the form of a free-standing closet where clothes could be hung. Today, the armoire is prized for decorative features as much as functionality. Of course, you may be wondering about the difference between an armoire and a wardrobe at this point. Really, as it turns out, there isn't all that much difference. They both have doors and contain a rod for hanging clothing. An armoire tends to be a little larger and perhaps a bit more ornate, while a wardrobe possesses a more streamlined look. This difference in terminology seems to reflect the seller's preference more than anything, since Webster's actually defines an armoire as a type of wardrobe. Some English wardrobes designed for

Re: [BlindHandyMan] last week, the washer, this week the dryer
Do you have a continuity tester? You should be able to read an electric current through the heating coil if it is in tact. You should be able to read current through the thermostat too when cool since it is a protective shut-off device. I had an old drier many years ago which heated too ,much and it was the wiring to the heating system which burned off on more than one occasion. Because I used it in my office mostly to dry towels and pillow cases I liked the heat, got the job done quicker so every year or 18 months or so I would have to replace that foot or so of wire. Most likely though it is the element. There are often two, one for low heat and another for high heat, if your dryer has a warm setting try it and see if it still heats. It would be possible but unusual I would think for both to die at the same time. Some may just have a tap off part way along the coil but somehow I doubt it. If you don't have a meter or continuity tester, a simple bell or buzzer and battery in series will do fine. Hope this helps.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] last week, the washer, this week the dryer
could well be that your drying element has finally given up the ghoast. you have done well to keep it so long. if there is air blowing out then it points to a dead heater or as in the case the fernistaff has kicked and that usually means the filter maybe blocked. sorry can not be of more help. joe. - Original Message - From: Brice Mijares [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2007 3:18 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] last week, the washer, this week the dryer Last week my washer went down due to the dogs in the agitator.

Don't rule out humane society sabotage! I hear there were some disgruntled pet lovers who took umbrage at hearing how you dropped 4 dogs into the washer and have trapped them there and are forcing them to do all the work.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] last week, the washer, this week the dryer
No, and if I did, I wouldn't know how to work it. - Original Message - From: Dale Leavens [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2007 9:43 AM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] last week, the washer, this week the dryer Do you have a continuity tester? You should be able to read an electric current through the heating coil if it is in tact. You should be able to read current through the thermostat too when cool since it is a protective shut-off device. I had an old drier many years ago which heated too ,much and it was the wiring to the heating system which burned off on more than one occasion. Because I used it in my office mostly to dry towels and pillow cases I liked the heat, got the job done quicker so every year or 18 months or so I would have to replace that foot or so of wire. Most likely though it is the element. There are often two, one for low heat and another for high heat, if your dryer has a warm setting try it and see if it still heats. It would be possible but unusual I would think for both to die at the same time. Some may just have a tap off part way along the coil but somehow I doubt it. If you don't have a meter or continuity tester, a simple bell or buzzer and battery in series will do fine. Hope this helps.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] last week, the washer, this week the dryer
Well, you could take a 9 volt battery and a little beeper or other electronic sound device. One pole of the battery you connect to one end of the element wire, the other pole to the beeper. The other wire from the beeper connects to the other end of the element. Electricity should run through the element coil, through the beeper and back to the beeper causing it to: Well, you guessed it! it should beep if the heating coil is in tact. The circuit is showing continuity. If the element is burned then the circuit will not be continuous and the beeper won't beep. Do be sure you have the dryer disconnected before poking about in there though, the element is 220 V and probably 20 amps.

You should be able to read an electric current through the heating coil if it is in tact. You should be able to read current through the thermostat too when cool since it is a protective shut-off device. I had an old drier many years ago which heated too ,much and it was the wiring to the heating system which burned off on more than one occasion. Because I used it in my office mostly to dry towels and pillow cases I liked the heat, got the job done quicker so every year or 18 months or so I would have to replace that foot or so of wire. Most likely though it is the element. There are often two, one for low heat and another for high heat, if your dryer has a warm setting try it and see if it still heats. It would be possible but unusual I would think for both to die at the same time. Some may just have a tap off part way along the coil but somehow I doubt it. If you don't have a meter or continuity tester, a simple bell or buzzer and battery in series will do fine. Hope this helps.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Deck Screws?
I like to buy long screws like that and even longer ones with the square Robertson style socket. It isn't too hard to drive them straight but it takes a pretty good driver if you don't drill first. I have a pretty good driver and occasionally it will twist the screw right off. When they get that thick too, they will usually split out the ends of a board if you are within a couple of inches of the end. Things like adding oil or wax can help but two drills, one with a driver and the other with a drill bit is my preferred method. getting them in straight isn't any more difficult than driving four inch nails and it isn't so long ago that nails were the only practical option for securing decking. I don't think anyone uses screws for fixing together framing components like walls and joists yet though more are now using pneumatic nailers. They are pretty expensive for most of us doing a one-off job though.

This morning while scrounging some thread all at my local home center I came across some wood screws that appear to be about 2.75 inches long with a 0.125 shank diameter. The hardware guy told me that they were deck screws. The first thing that went through my head is how the hell would a blind guy successfully run one of these monsters in straight? Do you pre-drill for these things? I know a couple of youall are either doing or have done decks and I just had to ask. With necessity being the mother of invention I don't think it would be a big deal to come up with some kind of a piloting fixture, but since we already have a wheel I don't want to reinvent one.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] The pig has landed.
Bill, Yeah, to get the pig off the sled, I will remove the screws holding the crossbars to the runners. Then, lift the end, and have someone pull the crossbar out. Then do the other end. That is actually how we got it on the sled. And Betsy, The radiator works just fine. We decided to pull the radiator out of the living room to give us more living room. We will use a ventless gas fireplace insert to supplement heat in the living room. Since we want to have heat in the basement it made some sense to move the pig to the basement. Even if we decided to ditch the pig, we were going to have to carry it down the four flights of steps to the street. Granted, I probably could have cut it into a couple of more manageable pieces if I was going to trash it. Anyway, it will now give us heating the basement at some undetermined point in the future when I get around to finishing the basement. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] last week, the washer, this week the dryer
brice, I had an old kenmoor that did just that, I found that wires had become brittle and broken at several joints inside the back of the machine. I suppose heat and vibration take their toll. I just opened up the back after disconnecting the power of course, and examined all the wiring and connections I could find, particularly those going to the heating element if you trace them out. I did this several times over a couple years when it produced little or no heat. when i found a brittle or broken joint I cut out all the brittle wire and replaced it with similarly sized stranded wire using wire nuts. Just be sure you don't strip too much insulation for the wire nuts you have, and add tape wherever to avoid shorts. If you can find the leads to the heating element and temporarily disconnect them, keeping track of where they go of course, and you have an ohm meter or other continuity tester, the heating element should show a pretty low resistance through it. I'd guess no more than a few hundred ohms at max. If it appears open, then it may be bad. It would be very unlikely to short out. Hope it helps.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Measuring Water Chemistry
Hi all, A pool supply store where I used to purchase all my chemicals had a computerized set-up for testing pool water. You would provide them with a jar of water from your pool, they would pour the water into a variety of containers and the computer would print-out an analysis of your water along with recommendations for correcting any chemistry problems. I don't know if anything was added to the water while it was being analyzed. Typically the analysis gave me a great deal more information than I needede and if I had followed all the corrective recommendations, I would have gone broke purchasing a myriad of small containers of liquids and powders. It did a good job but you had to use good sense when balancing your pool chemistry based on the analysis. My guess is that such a system is quite expensive and would not make sense for a residential pool but they do exist if you have some spare pocket change.

It is a long time since I had a pool but the little chamber into which the chemistry is dropped had a series of coloured strips all gradations of yellow. You compared the water colour with the strip closest to that colour and read the number value associated with it. While it would be possible to produce a machine capable of that sort of comparison and very accurately as well, it would take a little money. It should be fairly easy to read PH electronically though, a pair of electrodes submerged in the water or in a known acid solution diluted with a precise amount of pool water would generate an electrical current (it forms a Leclanché battery cell). Don't know of an electronic method of measuring free chlorine though, there might well be one.
