RE: [BlindHandyMan] re wood working for the blind

What do you mean, it's the wrong list?  Is there a right list and a wrong
list?

It is an actual blind worker list, so I don't know what you mean. Please
explain, if you don't mind.

 

Thank you, Tom

We are apparently talking about several different things here.

There is a mailing list called ww4b (wood working for the blind).  You can 
see the site for it at

groups.yahoo.com/group/ww4b

You can subscribe to it by sending a blank email to:

ww4b-subscr...@yahoogroups.com

When Max said it was the wrong list, he only meant that the ww4b list is 
the one that many of us have been speaking about here.
  This is the first I have heard of the other list, BlindWoodWorker.  I may 
pop in to see what it is all about.

ww4b is a lot of the guys from BlindHandyman, plus a bunch of other guys. 
There is definitely a lot of wood working experience there.

OK, let me clarify further.

There are two mailing lists being talked about here.

One is ww4b which is hosted at yahoo groups.  The other is 
BlindWoodWorkers hosted at free lists.

The ww4b list started as those folks who receive the CDs of the wood 
working magazines.  I don't know what the BlindWoodWorker list is about 
yet.

There is a website www.WoodWorkingForTheBlind.org but it is just a place 
holder describing the CD recording of the wood working magazines for the 
blind.  IE, it is associated with ww4b but the site doesn't have any real 
content, just a mailto link.

[BlindHandyMan] Measuring again

2009-11-02 Thread Agent086b
Hi all,
some months ago there was a lot of discussion on a measuring stick. I 
seam to remember that you slide a stick in to a tube and lock it 
somehow. Unfortunately I have lost the email describing how to build one 
of these things.
I have a talking tape measure, but I would like some sort of telescopic 
thing I can take a measurement between two pieces and transfer that 
measurement to a piece of timber before cutting it off to the same length.
I don't need to know how many millimetres it is just to keep that length.
 Hope you all understand what I am trying to do.

[BlindHandyMan] A closet story.

2009-11-02 Thread Dan Rossi
Those of you old timers on the list will remember one of my very first 
home projects.  This took place between Christmas and New years of 2005. 
There was a large closet in the master bedroom approximately six feet 
wide, and nearly three feet deep.  However, there was just a single 24 
inch wide swinging door at one end of the closet.  The door wouldn't open 
all the way since it hit the radiator.  The bar for the clothing was 
hanging in the middle of the closet, front to back, and so this closet had 
the worst use of space, and the worst access you could imagine.  When you 
opened the door, you would see the left 24 inches of the bar.  48 inches 
of the bar were to the right of the door, so you kind of had to shove your 
way into the closet and to the right, to get to anything that had the 
misfortune of migrating to that end of the bar.  Totally useless.

So, I ripped out the entire wall, installed sliding doors, put an upper 
and lower bar in, closer to the front of the closet, put shelving behind 
everything against the back wall, and built a large shelving unit in as 
part of the system.  It is now a much more usable space.

Well, the closet in the small bedroom, soon to be the nursery, is even 
worse.  It is only barely deep enough to hang a hanger, and at that, the 
tips of the plastic hangars touch both the front and back wall, so god 
help you if you actually hang any clothing on the hangars.

It is five feet wide, and less than 20 inches deep.  It also has a stupid, 
useless, 24 inch wide door at one end.  So in this closet, if anything 
shuffles to the right of the door opening, it is truly gone, because you 
can't even force your way into the closet to reach that stuff.

Well, that wall is now gone.  Over the weekend I decided to rip it down. 
I first ripped off all the trim around the door, along the floor, all the 
trim inside the closet, the shelf, the hanging bar, dot dot dot.

I used my circ saw with a cement board blade on it to cut up the wall at 
the right end of the closet on the outside wall, and then across the top 
to the top of the door opening.  I couldn't work the saw inside the closet 
to do the same, it was just too tight.  I started trying to pry the 
plaster off from the outside, but the edges just crumbled.  So, I got 
inside the closet and just ripped down the plaster willy nilly.  Some of 
it came down in large pieces and some came down in many many many tiny

Let me explain the plaster in this house.  It is some kind of precursor to 
drywall.  Breeze called it Beaver Board.  It is bands of precast plaster 
about a foot wide and maybe as long as six or eight feet.  They are 
nailed, horizontally, to the studs.  The seams between the boards are 
plastered, then a heavy vinyl sheet, like wallpaper is glued over 
everything.

Well, after ripping down the inner wall, I was able to gently pry off the 
outer boards from the inside.  They came off nicely, but were heavy as 
hell.

I was then left with two 2X6 studs, on edge.  I cut through them with a 
hand saw at the tops.  They were toe nailed into the nice hard wood floor 
at the bottoms, with six nails in each stud.

I am going to build out the frame of the new wider opening so it stands 
about three inches proud of the wall, then hang wooden, bi-fold doors.

After talking with a neighbor, I have decided to rip down the vinyl stuff 
all over the room as well, and strip the paint from the trim.  I would 
like to remove as much of the lead based paint from the room as possible. 
yes, ripping down the wall paper stuff, will throw some lead dust into the

putting a box fan in the window, blowing out, wearing a full respirator, 
and ripping up the carpeting when I am done.  Plus washing down all the 
walls before having it painted.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] A closet story.

2009-11-02 Thread john schwery
Ok, Dan, come out of the closet.  Lol.

earlier, Dan Rossi, wrote:


Those of you old timers on the list will remember one of my very first
home projects. This took place between Christmas and New years of 2005.
There was a large closet in the master bedroom approximately six feet
wide, and nearly three feet deep. However, there was just a single 24
inch wide swinging door at one end of the closet. The door wouldn't open
all the way since it hit the radiator. The bar for the clothing was
hanging in the middle of the closet, front to back, and so this closet had
the worst use of space, and the worst access you could imagine. When you
opened the door, you would see the left 24 inches of the bar. 48 inches
of the bar were to the right of the door, so you kind of had to shove your
way into the closet and to the right, to get to anything that had the
misfortune of migrating to that end of the bar. Totally useless.

So, I ripped out the entire wall, installed sliding doors, put an upper
and lower bar in, closer to the front of the closet, put shelving behind
everything against the back wall, and built a large shelving unit in as
part of the system. It is now a much more usable space.

Well, the closet in the small bedroom, soon to be the nursery, is even
worse. It is only barely deep enough to hang a hanger, and at that, the
tips of the plastic hangars touch both the front and back wall, so god
help you if you actually hang any clothing on the hangars.

It is five feet wide, and less than 20 inches deep. It also has a stupid,
useless, 24 inch wide door at one end. So in this closet, if anything
shuffles to the right of the door opening, it is truly gone, because you
can't even force your way into the closet to reach that stuff.

Well, that wall is now gone. Over the weekend I decided to rip it down.
I first ripped off all the trim around the door, along the floor, all the
trim inside the closet, the shelf, the hanging bar, dot dot dot.

I used my circ saw with a cement board blade on it to cut up the wall at
the right end of the closet on the outside wall, and then across the top
to the top of the door opening. I couldn't work the saw inside the closet
to do the same, it was just too tight. I started trying to pry the
plaster off from the outside, but the edges just crumbled. So, I got
inside the closet and just ripped down the plaster willy nilly. Some of
it came down in large pieces and some came down in many many many tiny
chunks.

Let me explain the plaster in this house. It is some kind of precursor to
drywall. Breeze called it Beaver Board. It is bands of precast plaster
about a foot wide and maybe as long as six or eight feet. They are
nailed, horizontally, to the studs. The seams between the boards are
plastered, then a heavy vinyl sheet, like wallpaper is glued over
everything.

Well, after ripping down the inner wall, I was able to gently pry off the
outer boards from the inside. They came off nicely, but were heavy as
hell.

I was then left with two 2X6 studs, on edge. I cut through them with a
hand saw at the tops. They were toe nailed into the nice hard wood floor
at the bottoms, with six nails in each stud.

I am going to build out the frame of the new wider opening so it stands
about three inches proud of the wall, then hang wooden, bi-fold doors.

After talking with a neighbor, I have decided to rip down the vinyl stuff
all over the room as well, and strip the paint from the trim. I would
like to remove as much of the lead based paint from the room as possible.
yes, ripping down the wall paper stuff, will throw some lead dust into the
air, but I will be sealing the room off from the rest of the house,
putting a box fan in the window, blowing out, wearing a full respirator,
and ripping up the carpeting when I am done. Plus washing down all the
walls before having it painted.

I've got three weeks before the little angel arrives. OK, I've got three
weeks before she is supposed to arrive, but they tell me it could happen
any day. I asked Teresa if she couldn't hold out until like February or
March. My black eye is heeling nicely.

 I am going to build out the frame of the new wider opening so it stands 
 about three inches proud of the wall, then hang wooden, bi-fold doors.
 
 After talking with a neighbor, I have decided to rip down the vinyl stuff 
 all over the room as well, and strip the paint from the trim.  I would 
 like to remove as much of the lead based paint from the room as possible. 
 yes, ripping down the wall paper stuff, will throw some lead dust into the 
 air, but I will be sealing the room off from the rest of the house, 
 putting a box fan in the window, blowing out, wearing a full respirator, 
 and ripping up the carpeting when I am done.  Plus washing down all the 
 walls before having it painted.
 
 I've got three weeks before the little angel arrives.  OK, I've got three 
 weeks before she is supposed to arrive, but they tell me it could happen 
 any day.  I asked Teresa if she couldn't hold out until like February or 
 March.  My black eye is heeling nicely.

Well, that's not the list that Larry and I run.  If you want to join that 
other list, go ahead.  But our list is better than their list because so 
many of us from the BHM list are on it.

 What do you mean, it's the wrong list?  Is there a right list and a wrong
 list?

 It is an actual blind worker list, so I don't know what you mean. Please
 explain, if you don't mind.



 Thank you, Tom

Yeah, but she'll forgive me when she's a teenager and has lots of clothes

I'll see if I can't manage a nice hiding spot in the closets in the 
basement once I get back to finishing it.
