[BlindHandyMan] Ten Basic Router Bit Shapes
Fixed base routers, plunge routers and shapers are all used to apply shaped edges on wood stock. Whether applying an edge dressing to a larger piece of stock or creating a piece of moulding, the shape to be applied to the stock is determined by the shape of the router bit in the router's collet. Although there are hundreds of different router bits, they all are variations of the following ten basic router bit shapes: Beading Bit Beading Router Bit Profile View Full-Size A beading bit is similar to a roundover bit (below) in that it applies a rounded shape to the edge of the stock. The difference between a beading bit and a roundover bit is that the beading bit also cuts a square shoulder on the top and bottom edges of the roundover. Beading bits often have a bearing tip for riding along the edge of the stock as it is cut. Chamfer Router Bit Chamfer Router Bit Profile View Full-Size A chamfer is a 45-degree angled cut on the square edge of a piece of stock. Chamfer bits are versatile, in that one bit can create a number of different-size chamfers based on the depth of the cut. As with the beading bit, some chamfer bits have a bearing-tip that rides along the edge of the stock. Cove Bit Cove Router Bit Profile View Full-Size A cove profile is designed to apply a concave, rounded profile. Often, the cove bit is used to match a beading or roundover shape on the corresponding piece of stock. For instance, drop-leaf tables use matching cove and bead profiles (called a rule joint). The cove bit often has a bearing-tip for riding along the edge of the stock. [br][br] Tip: The cove profile is not to be confused with a round nose bit (below), which is used to make round-bottomed grooves in the middle of a piece of stock. Dado (Straight-Cutting) Bit Dado Profile View Full-Size There are a number of methods that can be used to cut a dado profile, which is a square channel in the middle of a piece of stock. While there are specialty saw blades used for cutting dadoes on a table saw, a dado can also be cut with a router using any of a variety of straight-cutting bits. These straight-cutting bits come in a variety of sizes, they are all similar in that the bit is designed to cut a flat bottom and square sides. Some straight-cutting bits have a bearing-tip (designed for trimming a piece of laminate applied to the face of a board), but these bearing-tip bits cannot be used for cutting a dado. Dovetail Bit Dovetail Router Bit Profile View Full-Size The dovetail bit is most famous for use in creating tails for dovetail joinery. However, dovetail bits can also be used to make tapered dadoes and rabbets. A dovetail profile has a flat bottom with angled sides which are wider at the base. Most dovetail bits do not have a bearing, although a few specific template-style dovetail jigs require bearing on the shank of the bit. Ogee Bit Roman Ogee Router Bit Profile View Full-Size The Ogee bit, also referred to as a Roman Ogee creates a compound, S-shaped profile. There are a number of variations on the Ogee profile, with shoulders on the edges or points in the middle of the profile. As with other edge bits, Ogee router bits often come equipped with a bearing tip. Rabbeting Bit Rabbet Router Bit Profile View Full-Size Simply stated, a rabbet is a dado on the edge of a piece of stock. While rabbets can be cut using a table saw (with a dado blade) or a straight-cutting router bit, there are also specially-designed rabbeting bits, designed to ride along the edge of the stock (often with a bearing tip). Round Nose Bit Round Nose Router Bit Profile View Full-Size The round nose router bit is similar to the cove bit, except that is designed for plunge routing grooves and flutes in the middle of a piece of stock. Round nose bits, sometimes referred to as core-box bits, can be used to cut shallow, rounded-bottom grooves of various depths, but to be used properly, the bit should be plunged until the profile cut into the wood creates a full 180-degree arc. Roundover Bit Roundover Router Bit Profile View Full-Size As mentioned above, the roundover bit creates a rounded profile on the square edge of a piece of stock, and differs from the beading bit in that no shoulders are cut. Often, only a portion of the roundover bit is used to create a partial easing of the edge rather than a full 90-degree arc. As with beading bits, roundover bits sometimes have a bearing-tip. V-Groove Bit V-Groove Router Bit Profile View Full-Size Think of a V-groove profile much like a double-chamfer profile to be plunged into the center of a piece of stock, similar to the way the roundnose bit is used. In this case, however, the profile is a V-shape in the stock. The V-groove bit can be used at various depths to create grooves of a variety of different widths.

[BlindHandyMan] Hearing Protection
When working with loud woodworking tools such as routers and planers, using hearing protection is highly advisable. Because extended exposure to such loud noises are known to cause permanent hearing loss, it would be foolish to use such tools without employing a form of hearing protection. What forms of hearing protection are best for woodworking? There are two common types of hearing protection, ear muffs and in-ear plugs. Either will provide an acceptable level of hearing protection, and some woodworkers will even employ both types simultaneously. Ear Muffs: Ear Muffs look a lot like a large pair of headphones. Typically, the ear pieces completely cover the ears in an attempt to form a tight seal and keep as much sound out as possible. While they tend to provide a bit better sound reduction than ear plugs, they also are quite bulky. As such, some woodworkers may find them a bit cumbersome. Some very high-end ear muffs implement electronic noise reduction technology to reduce sound levels even more. These units attempt to essentially generate opposite sound waves to the noises they detect. While they are relatively expensive, they are also pretty effective at blocking out extra noise. Ear Plugs: Ear plugs, as shown in the image above, are much less cumbersome than their ear muff counterparts, but don't provide the same level of protection either. Ear plugs are typically made of a type of memory foam that the user compresses, inserts into the outer ear canal and waits for the foam to expand to form a tight fit. Many users find these more comfortable than ear muffs, particularly when working in warm weather. As mentioned above, some woodworkers will actually insert ear plugs and then wear a pair of ear muffs over the ears for double protection. While this may seem to be a bit of overkill, if the woodworker feels that the extra protection is well-deserved, there's certainly nothing wrong with employing this method. The point to remember is that no matter which type of protection you prefer, be sure to use hearing protection when using your power tools. Your ears will thank you for your foresight in future years.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] affixing work on a drill press?
I thought about getting one of those vises that travel back, forward and sideways. Most of them don't open too widely. Sears has one that I like but at the cost of $199, that cost more than my drill press. earlier, Dale Leavens, wrote: Hi John, Just now I have a piece of plywood about 12 inches deep and 36 wide fitted over the steel table of my drill press and held in place with strips rabbeted along one edge and screwed to the bottom to form a three sided frame to slide under the edge of the table. It is snug enough that I had to tap it home with a rubber mallet and I confess I am a little concerned about how tough it will be to tap off given the column will be in the way of a good swing of the mallet to shift it back. For now though I am satisfied to be able to drive screws into it if I need a fence or jig or other arrangement particularly for repeating work, things like wedges to control angles and such. I can attach a small vice or clamps in several ways and I can presumably change it for another when the time comes. Just in case it is useful to someone I bought a foot switch from Lee Valley a couple of summers ago. It is a toggle, press once for on and again for off. There is a rubber ball and hose to a box to plug into the wall and plug the drill press into the box. I find it quite helpful to let me set the position, grasp the handles then turn on the press without having to remove my hands from my work. I would really like an X/Y vice like table for cutting mortises or other series of holes in a direct line but so far haven't seen anything that suits me very well or cam comfortable to afford.

[BlindHandyMan] rat story
A few years ago I was talking to an exterminator. He told me a story about a strange call that he received. He was called to a home in the country to get rid of snakes. Out of curiosity he went to see what was going on. He then told me that in fact he did get rid of the snakes. When I asked him how he told me that he killed the rats and the snakes went away since they lost their food source. I shutter at the thought of even being in that home. I also once heard an unconfirmed story about a bar owner who kept a pet snake in the basement for the purpose of eliminating rats and mice.

[BlindHandyMan] getting rid of pests
I have found that flea bombs work well on small rodents, including squirrels. The other thing is those sticky pads that come in different sizes. I place their favorite food near the pads and restrict traffic flow to get to it. Mice for the most part always travel near the wall, placing sticky pads along the wall gets them. Rats on the other hand are quite adventurous and smarter. Squirrels are down right diabolical and deceptive, sneaky and mean spirited, and seem capable to outsmart me sometimes. One thing that works nice is a five gallon bucket with a couple inches of water in it. Float a sterfoam plate on it with peanut butter or seeds. Once in they can't jump up to get out of the water let alone the bucket and drown cleanly. This does not work with very large rats, you need a shotgun. ..bob [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

It was also inconvenient during spring and fall warm days with cool nights. When I first started looking around for a door Lowe's wanted $145 plus 6%tax for the install. For that amount it would have been a DIY project. Last week they had a special for $59 install. This covered delivery, removal of and take away of the old door, and a year guarantee on the door and installation. For that price it was not worth my effort.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Beats soldering.
I just did a search on a Ridgid ProPress crimper. I found one for about 1600 bucks, so they ain't cheap. Spiro, the radiator water, and potable water, are completely separate systems. There is a tank within a tank. The inner tank is the hot water for drinking and showering and such. The boiler heats water for the radiators and circulates it through the jacket between the inner and outer tanks. That indirectly heats the water in the inner tank. Then, if home heat is needed, a circulating pump sends the water in the jacket between the tanks, through the radiator system. So the two systems are concentric, but completely isolated from each other. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University. E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel:(412) 268-9081
[BlindHandyMan] Trim Nailgun Follow-up Question
Hi all, First of all, thanks for everyone's input on my trim nailgun question. From all my research on the Internet, it doesn't look like I'm going to find a chorded nailgun for putting up trim. I looked at the Magnesium Allnailer and it looks like it would definitely do the job and a great deal more. My problem with chordless tools is that the batteries go completely dead after a time because I don't use the tools enough to keep the batteries in excellent shape. Here's my follow-up question. What, if anything, can one do to keep tool batteries in good working condition even though the battery only gets very occasional use? If I could solve this problem, I would probably own more chordless tools. As always, any help greatly appreciated. Take care, Ed

[BlindHandyMan] VoxTape talking tape measure manual
Hi all, I don't think anybody has previously posted the manual for this tape Voxtape from Caretec. This is the slightly more expensive one that uses a single AA battery. It has some advantages over the Cobolt, but appears to use the same sprockett technology to read the tape. Note they say you should use the spring loaded rewind system to avoid errors, I often find unless the tape has been allowed to rewind solidly into the case that it's a sixteenth off. some differences are; has on/off button; Current measurement can be set to zero so that moving the tape gets you the difference between last and current measure. has seperate buttons for measuring with and without case, not a toggle. The speech sounds very much like the Cobolt unit but of much lower quality. This was probably done to save power thus allowing the use of the AA cell. A good giggle is to be had as they say there is a 1 year warranty on the speech output. We assume this means no warranty on the tape! Neither of these tapes has what I want, an ability to enter a measurement and then find it. Find below, in the message body, a text rendering of the print manual. which is apparrently the only thing they provide on a single sheet of paper. It scanned very poorly and took my assistant David a lot of proofing. I don't know which I would buy if I wanted one, neither of them makes me really happy.

On the bottom side of the device you will find the ribbed lid of the battery compartment and on the reverse of the case a clip for attaching it to your belt. On the left side of the case you will find the tape end, which can easily be accessed and pulled forward. On the upper, round end of the device (inclined towards the right), you will find a ribbed button to retract the tape. It should always be retracted this way, otherwise it may lead to inaccurate measurements. CAUTION: If the tape is extended more then 1 foot (30 cm), take care when retracting the tape to avoid injuries to your hand. Right behind this retraction button, you will feel some small holes, housing the outlet of the loudspeaker. Please do not cover them or it may lead to a bad speech output.

[BlindHandyMan] Beat the Heat: Fire Prevention Tips
Just because the temperatures are falling outside doesn't mean your home can't get dangerously hot - according to the National Fire Protection Association, December and January are the peak months for home fires. Follow these easy steps to stay safe. Smoke Alarms The single most important fire safety tool is the smoke alarm. Make sure yours are functioning and located in or close to sleeping areas around the house. Also: * There are two types of smoke alarms: ionization, which quickly detects fast-moving, flaming fire, and photoelectric, which quickly detects slow-burning, smoky fires. The U.S. Fire Administration recommends purchasing a combination alarm for best protection. * Pick a specific holiday or use your birthday as a reminder to replace the batteries in your smoke alarms every year. In the Kitchen Cooking mishaps are the leading cause of residential fires. Here's how to prevent them: * Never leave cooking unattended. * Wear short sleeves or roll up long sleeves when you're cooking. * Keep pot holders, curtains and towels away from the stove and other heating devices. Home Heating/Fireplace You'll want to heat up this winter, but not too much! Take extra care with space heaters and woodstoves. Also: * Keep all fireplaces and woodstoves clean, inside and out. * Never start a fire indoors with flammable liquid. * After the fire has been put out, never leave hot ashes in the home. Soak them in water and leave them in a metal bucket outside of and away from the house. * If you have a kerosene heater, check it to make sure it's in good working condition. Look for carbon buildup on exhaust parts of the machine. * Make sure that your furnace controls and emergency shut-offs are working properly, and keep trash and other combustibles away from the furnace. For Rural Homesteaders * Mark the entrance to your property clearly, and know which local emergency services are available to you. * Thin trees and brush within 30 feet of your home. * Landscape your property with fire-resistant plants to stop fire from spreading quickly. * Follow local burning laws when burning leaves or debris. Escape Planning It's imperative to have a pre-determined plan in case of emergency. Route possible exits from every room of the house, and designate a family meeting point outside. Lending a Hand If there's a fire hydrant near your home, keep it clear of snow so firefighters can find it easily. ** This message and its attachments may contain legally privileged or confidential information.

[BlindHandyMan] How to Winterize Your Garden Tools
Prepare your garden tools for winter and add years to their life. As winter approaches, many of you are hard at work preparing your garden for cold weather. Hopefully, you've already planted that cover crop, applied a fresh layer of mulch and prepared your cold frames for fresh winter greens . You know that a little winter prep can really pay off when spring arrives, but don't forget that your garden tools need a little TLC as well. Here are some tips on how to keep them in great shape while they await the return of warm, sunny days. * Remove all dried or caked-on dirt with a wire brush, rinse and dry thoroughly. (Soak especially dirty tools in water first.) * Sharpen dull tools using a whetstone or file. Working at a 45-degree angle, start at the outer edge and move toward the center. * Sand off any rust spots with fine sandpaper or steel wool, and coat the metal with vegetable oil. * Wipe a light coating of linseed oil or paste wax on wooden handles to preserve them and prevent cracking or splitting. * Store hand trowels and other small tools in a bucket of sand soaked in oil to further deter rust, and hang rakes and shovels in an easy-to-access spot. * Bring water hoses in out of the weather and ensure that they're properly drained and coiled correctly (not kinked). Repair leaks with a hose repair kit which you can get at your local home or garden store. There's no need to buy a new hose - even leaky fittings can be replaced with minimal time, money and effort. * On your mower, be sure to clean and sharpen the blades (residue can encourage rust. Avoid storing gasoline in your mower over the winter; transfer it to your car's engine instead. That is if it is not 2 stroke fuel. Good tools are expensive. Take good care of yours and they'll contribute to many years of productive gardening. Looking to replace one that's beyond repair? Try the Freecycle Network or visit garage sales in your area. ** This message and its attachments may contain legally privileged or confidential information.

[BlindHandyMan] a strap that will capture the energy generated by the up-and-down movement of a hiker's pack
It's pretty cool, says Henry Sodano, an adjunct professor of engineering mechanical engineering -- engineering mechanics, who recently accepted a faculty appointment at Arizona State University. We are harnessing free energy that would normally be lost. With mechanical engineering graduate students Jonathan Granstrom and Joel Feenstra, Sodano designed straps made of a piezoelectric material that can convert mechanical strain into electrical energy. You probably wouldn't be able to plug a TV into your backpack; the system is designed for use with devices that require small amounts of electricity, such as a GPS unit. Alternatively, a hiker could charge up a headlamp while walking during the day and then turn it on after dark. Or the backpack could generate enough power to recharge a handheld computer. The straps are made of a nylon-like polymer that produces a fluctuating, AC current that could be stored in a battery or a capacitor. The researchers teamed up with the Blacksburg, Va., company NanoSonic Inc. to develop a specialized electrode grown on the surface of the strap using nanotechnology. The beauty of the design is that it requires no extra effort on the part of the user, unlike other devices that transform mechanical energy into electricity, such as wind-up flashlights. It's part of a new field called energy harvesting. We're trying to capture free power. You don't need watts of energy for many modern electronics, Sodano said. We're not trying to generate significant levels of power, just enough to perform a useful function. Someone shouldering a heavy pack, such as a soldier in the field, could generate 45.6 milliwatts of power walking two or three miles per hour. That's enough wattage to power small electronics. Or, it could be accumulated for later use. In general, we want to accumulate the power before using it; for example you could walk for 20 minutes then have enough power to talk for 2.5 minutes on your cell phone, Sodano says. The research was funded by the Office of Naval Research, which is investigating power sources for Marines in the field. The researchers hope to receive additional support to develop a prototype and then to commercialize their innovation. ** This message and its attachments may contain legally privileged or confidential information.

Whether applying an edge dressing to a larger piece of stock or creating a piece of moulding, the shape to be applied to the stock is determined by the shape of the router bit in the router's collet. Although there are hundreds of different router bits, they all are variations of the following ten basic router bit shapes: Beading Bit Beading Router Bit Profile View Full-Size A beading bit is similar to a roundover bit (below) in that it applies a rounded shape to the edge of the stock. The difference between a beading bit and a roundover bit is that the beading bit also cuts a square shoulder on the top and bottom edges of the roundover. Beading bits often have a bearing tip for riding along the edge of the stock as it is cut. Chamfer Router Bit Chamfer Router Bit Profile View Full-Size A chamfer is a 45-degree angled cut on the square edge of a piece of stock. Chamfer bits are versatile, in that one bit can create a number of different-size chamfers based on the depth of the cut. As with the beading bit, some chamfer bits have a bearing-tip that rides along the edge of the stock. Cove Bit Cove Router Bit Profile View Full-Size A cove profile is designed to apply a concave, rounded profile. Often, the cove bit is used to match a beading or roundover shape on the corresponding piece of stock. For instance, drop-leaf tables use matching cove and bead profiles (called a rule joint). The cove bit often has a bearing-tip for riding along the edge of the stock. [br][br] Tip: The cove profile is not to be confused with a round nose bit (below), which is used to make round-bottomed grooves in the middle of a piece of stock. Dado (Straight-Cutting) Bit Dado Profile View Full-Size There are a number of methods that can be used to cut a dado profile, which is a square channel in the middle of a piece of stock. While there are specialty saw blades used for cutting dadoes on a table saw, a dado can also be cut with a router using any of a variety of straight-cutting bits. These straight-cutting bits come in a variety of sizes, they are all similar in that the bit is designed to cut a flat bottom and square sides. Some straight-cutting bits have a bearing-tip (designed for trimming a piece of laminate applied to the face of a board), but these bearing-tip bits cannot be used for cutting a dado. Dovetail Bit Dovetail Router Bit Profile View Full-Size The dovetail bit is most famous for use in creating tails for dovetail joinery. However, dovetail bits can also be used to make tapered dadoes and rabbets. A dovetail profile has a flat bottom with angled sides which are wider at the base. Most dovetail bits do not have a bearing, although a few specific template-style dovetail jigs require bearing on the shank of the bit. Ogee Bit Roman Ogee Router Bit Profile View Full-Size The Ogee bit, also referred to as a Roman Ogee creates a compound, S-shaped profile. There are a number of variations on the Ogee profile, with shoulders on the edges or points in the middle of the profile. As with other edge bits, Ogee router bits often come equipped with a bearing tip. Rabbeting Bit Rabbet Router Bit Profile View Full-Size Simply stated, a rabbet is a dado on the edge of a piece of stock. While rabbets can be cut using a table saw (with a dado blade) or a straight-cutting router bit, there are also specially-designed rabbeting bits, designed to ride along the edge of the stock (often with a bearing tip). Round Nose Bit Round Nose Router Bit Profile View Full-Size The round nose router bit is similar to the cove bit, except that is designed for plunge routing grooves and flutes in the middle of a piece of stock. Round nose bits, sometimes referred to as core-box bits, can be used to cut shallow, rounded-bottom grooves of various depths, but to be used properly, the bit should be plunged until the profile cut into the

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Ten Basic Router Bit Shapes
They are called collars but they are also called template inserts. There are however more than one standard. I believe inch an eighth is the most common, it is what my porter cable router uses but this won't come close to working with either my Sears or my Triton. Be sure you have the base plate you intend to use it in. Usually they come in sets of varying inside and outside diameters.

Whether applying an edge dressing to a larger piece of stock or creating a piece of moulding, the shape to be applied to the stock is determined by the shape of the router bit in the router's collet. Although there are hundreds of different router bits, they all are variations of the following ten basic router bit shapes: Beading Bit Beading Router Bit Profile View Full-Size A beading bit is similar to a roundover bit (below) in that it applies a rounded shape to the edge of the stock. The difference between a beading bit and a roundover bit is that the beading bit also cuts a square shoulder on the top and bottom edges of the roundover. Beading bits often have a bearing tip for riding along the edge of the stock as it is cut. Chamfer Router Bit Chamfer Router Bit Profile View Full-Size A chamfer is a 45-degree angled cut on the square edge of a piece of stock. Chamfer bits are versatile, in that one bit can create a number of different-size chamfers based on the depth of the cut. As with the beading bit, some chamfer bits have a bearing-tip that rides along the edge of the stock. Cove Bit Cove Router Bit Profile View Full-Size A cove profile is designed to apply a concave, rounded profile. Often, the cove bit is used to match a beading or roundover shape on the corresponding piece of stock. For instance, drop-leaf tables use matching cove and bead profiles (called a rule joint). The cove bit often has a bearing-tip for riding along the edge of the stock. [br][br] Tip: The cove profile is not to be confused with a round nose bit (below), which is used to make round-bottomed grooves in the middle of a piece of stock. Dado (Straight-Cutting) Bit Dado Profile View Full-Size There are a number of methods that can be used to cut a dado profile, which is a square channel in the middle of a piece of stock. While there are specialty saw blades used for cutting dadoes on a table saw, a dado can also be cut with a router using any of a variety of straight-cutting bits. These straight-cutting bits come in a variety of sizes, they are all similar in that the bit is designed to cut a flat bottom and square sides. Some straight-cutting bits have a bearing-tip (designed for trimming a piece of laminate applied to the face of a board), but these bearing-tip bits cannot be used for cutting a dado. Dovetail Bit Dovetail Router Bit Profile View Full-Size The dovetail bit is most famous for use in creating tails for dovetail joinery. However, dovetail bits can also be used to make tapered dadoes and rabbets. A dovetail profile has a flat bottom with angled sides which are wider at the base.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Beat the Heat: Fire Prevention Tips
Some really great tips here, I'll pass them along, thanks for sending. Don - Original Message - From: Boyce, Ray To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2007 3:40 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Beat the Heat: Fire Prevention Tips Just because the temperatures are falling outside doesn't mean your home can't get dangerously hot - according to the National Fire Protection Association, December and January are the peak months for home fires. Follow these easy steps to stay safe. Smoke Alarms The single most important fire safety tool is the smoke alarm. Make sure yours are functioning and located in or close to sleeping areas around the house. Also: * There are two types of smoke alarms: ionization, which quickly detects fast-moving, flaming fire, and photoelectric, which quickly detects slow-burning, smoky fires. The U.S. Fire Administration recommends purchasing a combination alarm for best protection. * Pick a specific holiday or use your birthday as a reminder to replace the batteries in your smoke alarms every year. In the Kitchen Cooking mishaps are the leading cause of residential fires. Here's how to prevent them: * Never leave cooking unattended. * Wear short sleeves or roll up long sleeves when you're cooking. * Keep pot holders, curtains and towels away from the stove and other heating devices. Home Heating/Fireplace You'll want to heat up this winter, but not too much! Take extra care with space heaters and woodstoves. Also: * Keep all fireplaces and woodstoves clean, inside and out. * Never start a fire indoors with flammable liquid. * After the fire has been put out, never leave hot ashes in the home. Soak them in water and leave them in a metal bucket outside of and away from the house. * If you have a kerosene heater, check it to make sure it's in good working condition. Look for carbon buildup on exhaust parts of the machine. * Make sure that your furnace controls and emergency shut-offs are working properly, and keep trash and other combustibles away from the furnace. For Rural Homesteaders * Mark the entrance to your property clearly, and know which local emergency services are available to you. * Thin trees and brush within 30 feet of your home. * Landscape your property with fire-resistant plants to stop fire from spreading quickly. * Follow local burning laws when burning leaves or debris. Escape Planning It's imperative to have a pre-determined plan in case of emergency. Route possible exits from every room of the house, and designate a family meeting point outside. Lending a Hand If there's a fire hydrant near your home, keep it clear of snow so firefighters can find it easily. ** This message and its attachments may contain legally privileged or confidential information.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Rats, Rats and Rats??
Hi Max, Does a portion of the hose sit on the outside of the house? If it doesn't, I think it's safe to assume that puppy is coming from inside the house and drilling out. Like I said, if the screen is hole free, and there are no parts of the hose that sit on the outside of the house, that's the only conclusion I can think of. Victor
Re: [BlindHandyMan] Beat the Heat: Fire Prevention Tips
That is a recommendation. A year and a half ago I installed hard wired combination CO2 and smoke detectors with battery back-up. Just this morning very shortly after the alarm clock woke me one of the units let out half a dozen tiny chirps but it hasn't since. I must have been really smoken! Guess it is time to change the batteries, damned if I can remember what the instructions said about that. The nice thing about these is that if one alarm triggers it sounds them all. I have one in the far corner of the basement in the little room that houses my furnace and water tank. I'd never hear that one go off particularly in the middle of the night if it wasn't wired to the one outside my bedroom door. The law here in Ontario is that you must have a working alarm on each level of your home.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Gas charged nailers
Oh yes! not framing nailers but intended for nailing wood to cement. I rented one about 20 years ago to fasten a framing system to a concrete floor in an office I renovated. Hell of a noise in an enclosed environment and you don't want to make any mistakes with that!! The fasteners get pretty expensive too. These gas nailers are mostly available in framing and roofing nail sizes. Hitachi,is another industrial manufacturer of the bigger ones. Mostly air is used for framing nailers and of course the all electric nailers apparently use a flywheel mechanism which spins up before driving the nail. I had always assumed they compressed a spring somehow with the motor but apparently not. I don't know how the battery staplers work, quite possibly setting a spring with an electro magnet. So far I have only used the sort you squeeze.

[BlindHandyMan] pass-load nailers
Dear Edward and list members: The pass-load nail gun has become the tool of choice, here in hillbilly country, especially for framing. One draw-back with this tool, is the exhaust gas which follows each explosion. If the area is not enclosed, this is no problem, but if a person is highly sensitive to airborne pollution, avoiding the pass-load might be the best choice. For finish work, I still prefer the battery powered electric nail gun, as the noise level is much less, and the recycle rate is much higher than one might expect. When I was a student at the Tennessee School for the Blind, just post the Dark Ages, a major renovation was done, following a tornado at the school, and since the buildings were brick and concrete, all of the new fasteners were nailed in to place with the gun type of nailer. Romeo and Juliet were never more loudly discussed, and the history lessons on the civil war never were more spell binding. I believe they were using 45s in those days. Yours Truly, Clifford Wilson [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
Re: [BlindHandyMan] Gas charged nailers
Ed, There may well be others. There are other Paslode nailers of that type for sure. I didn't see any gas fueled Bostich and the only Hitachi gas nailers I saw were framing nailers and man they were costly but that doesn't mean there aren't others. It does mean though that you can go into any good tool store and, with a little confidence explain what it is you are interested in and if they try to tell you otherwise you know it is they and not you who are foolish. Good luck and do let us know if you get something and how you like it.
