Re: [BlindHandyMan] A Christmas Cheer To All
Me Too! Here in North East Pennsylvania it is freezing rain, that is when it is raining and as soon as it touches the ground it freezes. Sure hope that tonight Santa doesn't slide off any roofs. Days like this make the thought of moving South sound good! Seriously, I hope that everyone has a very Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukkah and a very safe handyman 2009.

[BlindHandyMan] music box over wound
Is there any way to repair a music box that has been over wound. Actually it is a Christmas ornament with a tree and then the base and you turn the base and it then rotates and plays a little tune. It was free from Freecycle, but my boys do really like it. I thought it was certainly worth asking if there is a way to repair it before I throw it out. I hope everyone else is having a lovely holiday season. May you all be having a peaceful season. Jennifer\ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Re: [BlindHandyMan] music box over wound
If I were going to try and do it, I would turn the base counter clockwise to remove it and expose the stem. Then I would find something to cover the stem so as not to mess up the threads. Grip it with something like vice grips and try to turn the stem counter clockwise. It shouldn't take much to free it up. I have done it with a clock using the key and just being patient, forced the mechanism to turn back, and it worked.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] music box over wound
You know, it could do that I suppose. I haven't done it a lot, but when I tried it on the clock, I was very patient, didn't really force anything and it worked. I'm not sure about a smaller mechanism like the music box, but if she can get it to maybe tinkle once or twice, the thing might start playing. At any rate, the key would be not to force anything and maybe do a sort of rocking motion. - Original Message - From: Max Robinson To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, December 24, 2008 1:22 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] music box over wound Are you sure that you wouldn't strip out the ratchet doing that?

[BlindHandyMan] harbor freight palm nailer
Bill, Thanks for all of the information about the harbor freight palm nailer, as expected it was a birthday gift. From the size of the box and the weight it was an easy guess. Looking at it I do have a few questions that someone will have to read to me from the enclosed literature. There is a bag with an allen wrench and a large washer. Have to find out what they are for. I did not feel a trigger, is it automatic when depressed on a nail? Karen told me that I gave her a lot of problems trying to purchase it. She confiscated the information that you sent and took it to the store. In the store it is $39.99 and your information was $29.99. The guy at the store told her that if she would print the add from the web page they would price match. Again they can not look up anything on the web site. Everytime she wanted to find it I was using the computer or asking what she was looking for?Finally she was able to print the ad and took it to the store, Along with the price match they also honored a 15% off one item coupon that I had. The girl did good..

Re: [BlindHandyMan] harbor freight palm nailer
When you put air to it, the unit is energized. Stand the nail on end like normal and slide the barrel over the head of the nail. Once it bottoms out on the head of the nail, just put the palm of your hand on the large flat surface that is now facing up. Apply pressure with your hand and the fun starts. When you push hard enough it will start pounding. Just a couple warnings. You have to hold the nail in place with the other hand until it starts pounding. Don't hold it real tight or it will sting for a while. And it only takes about 2 seconds to drive a 16 penny nail completely into a 4 by 4. So it will go fast. Remember to start the nail as straight as possible or it will bend just like it was hit wrong with a hammer, only faster. Nails with heads aren't so hard to work with. Finish nails take a special tip or they will walk to the side and get stuck inside the barrel.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] harbor freight palm nailer
Lenny and all: another thing I like about Harbor Freight is that they always have a link to download the owner's manual to their tools, and typically, I do that even before I decide to buy something. I'll send you the manual when I get home (I'm on the bus headed there now), but I think I recall reading that the Allan wrench is only for repairs and cleaning, and that you're supposed to put a couple drops of pneumatic tool in the thing prior to using.

[BlindHandyMan] Re: making table saw jigs
Hi, I am very interested in the discussion about making jigs. I actually want to learn much more. I do not understand the terminology and the techniques quite yet. So if you can explain or point me to a resource that will be helpful, please share. What are runners and how are they used with a table saw to make jigs? It sounds like something that could be like an extra set of hands. I have seen them referred to in several posts lately. Posted by: "Bob Kennedy" bobke...@bellsouth.net bk2909 Date: Mon Dec 22, 2008 3:09 pm ((PST)) Several places sell them. One of the places I use a lot is Peachtree. Their web site is ptreeusa.com Sometimes you can find things on Amazon that are less than what they sell their own things for. Here is what Amazon said about the Peachtree miter bar. Snip. The Peachtree miter bar sounds like it would be helpful with my table saw, but I am not sure how quite yet. There are times that I want a feather board to keep stock from shooting up or backwards. But I am not sure if that is a possible purpose of the bar. It also sounds like it may be a sliding fence or a replacement for my miter table. Can someone clarify what some of the uses of a miter bar is for? I have a Craftsman table saw. It is about 10 years old. It is not a high end unit, but it does alright. It is direct drive and has a table for attaching a router. The fence is not great, but it is ok. It has a sliding miter table which is a little small, but works fine on small projects. There are metal support bars on the back and front side of the saw. The fence, router table, and miter table mount to these bars and have a slot on the top side. This is for fixing attachments to it. But I do not know the size of the slot. But, I suspect it is a standard size. However, it is a Craftsman and may be different. The Fence has a similar slot on the top and router table side. It looks like this is made for similar attachments. The slots are larger on the fence than on the table saw. I imagine the t bar slides in this slot and can be moved around the saw for a variety of jobs. Below are different sized miter bar setups from PeachTree. Can someone explain how the 24 inch vs. the 48 inch bar might be used? What is the difference between the full sized t bar setup and the mini?

Hi Keith, The runners we have been referring to are essentially sticks which fit into the miter slots of the table saw or maybe a router table or I suppose even the slots of a disk sander or a band saw. I have cut them from hardwood, 3/4ths wide and 3/8ths thick but you can buy high density poly or aluminum or even steel ones already milled to that size. These are fixed to the bottom of a board to keep it tracking in the slots. Probably the most common use is a panel cutting jig where you take a piece of sheet goods, say quarter inch Baltic birch plywood, fix a fence to the trailing edge and runners to the bottom to form a huge fixed miter gauge for trimming doors and other panels square. Of course you can make them for any angle, wood turners make them to cut wedges to fit together to form 10 or 12 sided or more pieces for turning so that they have much less end grain in the outer edge. You can make jigs for cutting the cheeks for pennons, all sorts of things. Hope this is helpful. - Original Message - From: Keith Christian To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, December 24, 2008 10:22 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Re: making table saw jigs Hi, I am very interested in the discussion about making jigs. I actually want to learn much more. I do not understand the terminology and the techniques quite yet. So if you can explain or point me to a resource that will be helpful, please share. What are runners and how are they used with a table saw to make jigs? It sounds like something that could be like an extra set of hands. I have seen them referred to in several posts lately. Posted by: "Bob Kennedy" bobke...@bellsouth.net bk2909 Date: Mon Dec 22, 2008 3:09 pm ((PST)) Several places sell them. One of the places I use a lot is Peachtree. Their web site is ptreeusa.com Sometimes you can find things on Amazon that are less than what they sell their own things for. Here is what Amazon said about the Peachtree miter bar. Snip. The Peachtree miter bar sounds like it would be helpful with my table saw, but I am not sure how quite yet. There are times that I want a feather board to keep stock from shooting up or backwards. But I am not sure if that is a possible purpose of the bar. It also sounds like it may be a sliding fence or a replacement for my miter table. Can someone clarify what some of the uses of a miter bar is for? I have a Craftsman table saw. It is about 10 years old. It is not a high end unit, but it does alright. It is direct drive and has a table for attaching a router. The fence is not great, but it is ok. It has a sliding miter table which is a little small, but works fine on small projects. There are metal support bars on the back and front side of the saw. The fence, router table, and miter table mount to these bars and have a slot on the top side. This is for fixing attachments to it. But I do not know the size of the slot. But, I suspect it is a standard size. However, it is a Craftsman and may be different. The Fence has a similar slot on the top and router table side. It looks like this is made for similar attachments. The slots are larger on the fence than on the table saw. I imagine the t bar slides in this slot and can be moved around the saw for a variety of jobs. Below are different sized miter bar setups from PeachTree. Can someone explain how the 24 inch vs. the 48 inch bar might be used? What is the difference between the full sized t bar setup and the mini?

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Another Antenna question
bill, The only reason to use braided wire is it is more flexible and won't tend to break so much from wind or other vibrations.. Other than that, it makes no difference at all except for physical strength. Don't forget to use some kind of insulators wherever you hang it or wherever it passes very near any other object. Almost any plastic will do for insulators. tom Fowle
Re: [BlindHandyMan] Another Antenna question
I regret to have to gently disagree with Dale, but in the case of a general coverage receive antenna neither of Dale's points is really relivant. Although it's true that in a resonant transmitting antenna, the bandwidth is greater with larger element diameter, this won't be important in an antenna whose resonant frequency probably won't be known or make much difference. Also, every article I've seen on wire antennas says to use stranded wire, most often coper clad steel wire for serious transmitting wires. Particularly in receive antennas the eddy current won't be signifficant. The increased durability of stranded wire will be of more importance than all of these considerations unless the whole thing will be protected from weather wind and any other movement. Tom
[BlindHandyMan] stranded wire preferred here
Dear List Members: For outside antennas, I have had much better results with copper coated steel stranded wire. While some of the solid wire is fairly tough, it tends to break with a lot of bending, and when wire is exposed to the elements, some bending is inevitable. Some theorists also claim less resistance since there is more total surface in a stranded conductor, as opposed to a single wire. Supposedly, the currents move along the surface of a conductor. Mind you, I have never tried to verify those theories in person. Yours Truly, Clifford Wilson [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
Re: [BlindHandyMan] music box over wound
You might try very gently twisting the base in the wind direction to see if you can feel the rachet click at all. Then gently rock it back and forth just where the rachet wants to click and see if you can get it to release and go backwards thus releasing the spring. If there is any chance you can get it apart, unlikely, you'd look for a large toothed gear type thing with a spring held piece that grabs the teeth. This is the rachet that is supposed to let you wind it only one way. You might be able to hold the spring loaded piece away from the toothed wheel and let the wheel go backwards. Gently is the theme here it's probably plastic and cheap. Good luck Tom

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Another Antenna question
Is that correct tom? I was always under the impression that stranded wire was inferior as an antenna. It certainly isn't used for windings on the graphite antennas in radios or the loop antennas in the back of those old tube radios although it is used in the feed lines of 15 ohm ribbon cable. I understood that reactance losses are pretty high particularly at the higher frequencies of RF. It is a long time though since I studied such things. - Original Message - From: Tom Fowle To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, December 24, 2008 11:54 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Another Antenna question bill, The only reason to use braided wire is it is more flexible and won't tend to break so much from wind or other vibrations..
