[BlindHandyMan] Questions about Heating?
Hello All, Our utility company came, during the early part of the week, and they set our furnace to run more efficiently, so the whole unit is turning off again, as it should. However, here is my questions. Our bedroom is an edition that was built onto the house, and it is a pretty large room. There are two floor vents in this room, and sometimes, the furnace doesn't adequately heat the room. So, we had a blower or booster, not sure what it's called, installed a few years back. At first, it did work, making the room significantly warmer. Now however, it normaly does not work during the winter months but does work, during the summer, when we're using the central air portion of the system! Any ideas why this might be? And, if not, what can we do, to get this room warmer for us, in the winter? Thanks.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Cold related / electric cords
what is a task light? is that just to keep the engine warm? I remember years ago when you could buy a dip stick heater to plug in. actually I have learned a lot from this list regarding winter and electric. between rays post about safety to all this about what cords to use .

I could also tag it into a whire I have coming out of the house which goes into my generator box. that wire provides electricity which maintains a trickle charge to a big truck battery that powers the starting of the generator. maybe putting a splitter there ? got ideas feel free to comment. thanks.Lee -- People who develop the habit of thinking of themselves as world citizens are fulfilling the first requirement of sanity in our time. -- Norman Cousins Come and chat with me at #quietzone on irc.newnet.net -- Q: How do you stop an elephant from charging?

RE: [BlindHandyMan] storing ice melt
Lenny: We have a cat, so we have to buy cat litter. The litter we buy comes in a large square plastic container with a tight-fitting lid. This is what I use to store ice melt, and it works very well, even though I rarely use the stuff. So, get a cat. -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:blindhandy...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Lenny McHugh Sent: Sunday, December 21, 2008 18:28 To: handyman-blind Subject: [BlindHandyMan] storing ice melt Last year I purchased a more expensive ice melt that is safe for my guide dog. It is non toxic so also safe for plants. I then bought a 5 gal paint bucket for storage of the 50 pounds. The lid was not a tight seal and now I have a 5 gal rock. I can break it up to use it but wondering how to store it. There is also a shake dispenser container in which the ice melt did not get hard. I assume it is because it had a tight lid. I am wondering if I took some silicone calk and ran a bead around the inside of the lid and let it dry would it act as a sealing gasket? --- Please visit my home page; it is motivational, inspirational and humorous with many resources for the blind. http://www.geocities.com/lenny_mchugh/ Lenny Send any questions regarding list management to: blindhandyman-ow...@yahoogroups.com To listen to the show archives go to link http://www.acbradio.org/pweb/index.php?module=pagemasterPAGE_user_op=view_p agePAGE_id=33MMN_position=47:29 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 Visit The Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following address: http://www.jaws-users.com/JAWS/handyman/ Visit the archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com/ If you would like to join the JAWS Users List, then visit the following address for more information: http://www.jaws-users.com/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: blindhandyman-h...@yahoogroups.comyahoo!

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Questions about Heating?
I would also be interested if the plumbing or heat pipes to that new addition are insulated. often the farthestheat vent fro the furnace is much colder as the heat or fan first comes on, if that piping/ plumbing is in a cold air space.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] making table saw jigs
Hi, I get mine from Lee Valley. Don't know if you would pay duty but the dollar is now in your favour. The site will give prices in U.S. dollars. You can buy aluminum 'T' track that size or some sort of high density Poly. Both come in 24, 36 and 48 inch lengths. I just used a couple of 6 inch lengths of the poly to make a box joint jig, it is sort of self lubricating and tough as hell! www.leevalley.com The site is really very Jaws friendly.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] making table saw jigs
Hello All: I'm new to the list. And, have been reading the mail in the background for a few weeks. I am a avid sailer and wood worker. I am totally blind as well. As far as the table saw runners go, I would highly recommend the steal runners from www.woodpeck.com. The have almost no slop in a 3/4 slot. However, they will not work on the cheaper ridgid or craftsman saws because the slots are not quite 3/4. These runners are tapped with several 1/4x20 holes. They will last a life time. I've built cutoff sleds, tennoning jigs, box joint jigss, ... They also work very well on router tables, bandsaws, sanders. They do not have the means to grip a T slot. Any jig can be lifted out of the slot. Terry On Mon, 22 Dec 2008 16:37:09 -0500you write: Hi, I get mine from Lee Valley. Don't know if you would pay duty but the dollar is now in your favour.

Dale, thanks, that is what I am looking for the poly. I have some aluminum but want something that is easily cut. I want to make one jig that will be used to make a 1/4 tennon on stock that is 1-1/2 wide. This jig will only be about three inches long spanning the dado blade and riding in both tracks.

[BlindHandyMan] quick table saw jig
I was just talking to a friend who was a woodworker. He told me about a technique that he uses for making quick jigs.His runners are at least 1/8 narrower and a little thinner than 3/8. He puts something in the track to hold the runner proud of the table surface and pieces of folded paper in the inside of each runner. this keeps the runners tight against the outside edges of the tracks. He then aligns his rip fence to the right of the right track where he wants the jig to end. Using a quick drying glue he puts some on each runner then takes his plywood against the fence and drops it on the runners. Places a weight over the tracks and comes back after a cup of coffee to finish the jig. By making it less than the 3/4 inch and so that it does not slide along the bottom there virtually is no binding. I just might have to give that one a try. He said that it is so quick because there is no measuring or screwing runners. The last one that I made I used a little double sided tape on the metal runners. Then carefully placing the plywood on top. by lifting and flipping the jig I was easily able to screw the runners to the plywood. His technique appears to be so much simpler. --- Please visit my home page; it is motivational, inspirational and humorous with many resources for the blind. http://www.geocities.com/lenny_mchugh/ Lenny Send any questions regarding list management to: blindhandyman-ow...@yahoogroups.com To listen to the show archives go to link http://www.acbradio.org/pweb/index.php?module=pagemasterPAGE_user_op=view_pagePAGE_id=33MMN_position=47:29 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 Visit The Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following address: http://www.jaws-users.com/JAWS/handyman/ Visit the archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com/ If you would like to join the JAWS Users List, then visit the following address for more information: http://www.jaws-users.com/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: blindhandyman-h...@yahoogroups.comyahoo!

Re: [BlindHandyMan] quick table saw jig
I made the slides a little long, wedged them into the slots then just eye-balled and drilled and countersunk a hole through the base and into the slides and screwed short screws through the top side of the base and into the slides. No guess work at all. I don't much like using glue that way but I suppose once set up one could also screw or bolt. - Original Message - From: Lenny McHugh lmch...@verizon.net To: handyman-blind blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, December 22, 2008 8:00 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] quick table saw jig I was just talking to a friend who was a woodworker.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] storing ice melt
I had a big bucket of that stuff harden once. It had also started to work on the metal bucket. So the moment I poured hot water into it; (to losen it and help me with the mountain of ice I had to face) the bottom literally dropped out. So we threw ice melt shush up the path and it turned out okay. I find the plastic bags inside the boxes I get from McMaster, hold the stuff rather well. I scoop with a big plastic cup into a big tupperware and I walk with that to distribute about 5 lbs at a time.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Cold related / electric cords
a task light is that oval half shielded bulb that you can hang anywhere? I got one on a weather proof cord. but I think the light isn't weatherproof as it hangs bulb up. Thus rain might get in and short the socket. But, they didn't say the light was weather proof, just the cord. On Mon, 22 Dec 2008, Lee A.

I could also tag it into a whire I have coming out of the house which goes into my generator box. that wire provides electricity which maintains a trickle charge to a big truck battery that powers the starting of the generator. maybe putting a splitter there ? got ideas feel free to comment. thanks.Lee -- People who develop the habit of thinking of themselves as world citizens are fulfilling the first requirement of sanity in our time. -- Norman Cousins Come and chat with me at #quietzone on irc.newnet.net -- Q:How do you stop an elephant from charging?

RE: [BlindHandyMan] storing ice melt
or, stop being a nudist and get some clothes. Clothing detergent powder comes in big plastic containers with a lid, that fits rather tightly. I don't use the stuff often, (whew!) but you could use it to store your ice melt. Okay, now don't anyone get upset.

It is non toxic so also safe for plants. I then bought a 5 gal paint bucket for storage of the 50 pounds. The lid was not a tight seal and now I have a 5 gal rock. I can break it up to use it but wondering how to store it. There is also a shake dispenser container in which the ice melt did not get hard. I assume it is because it had a tight lid. I am wondering if I took some silicone calk and ran a bead around the inside of the lid and let it dry would it act as a sealing gasket? --- Please visit my home page; it is motivational, inspirational and humorous with many resources for the blind. http://www.geocities.com/lenny_mchugh/ Lenny Send any questions regarding list management to: blindhandyman-ow...@yahoogroups.com To listen to the show archives go to link http://www.acbradio.org/pweb/index.php?module=pagemasterPAGE_user_op=view_p agePAGE_id=33MMN_position=47:29 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 Visit The Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following address: http://www.jaws-users.com/JAWS/handyman/ Visit the archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com/ If you would like to join the JAWS Users List, then visit the following address for more information: http://www.jaws-users.com/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: blindhandyman-h...@yahoogroups.comyahoo!
