  Hey all, i had a refrigerator that was a stack, meaning a freezer on
  top and the frig on bottom. Anyway i had it unplugged for a while then
  went to plug it in to put food in it. It cooled for a while but then
  stopped cooling all at once and now when i plug it up it doesn't cool
  at all. It was about a year old when it did this and now its probably
  two years old because its been sitting for a year being used for snack
  storage lol. Anyway any ideas on how to check it? I was thinking about
  just throwing it out. Thanks.

  Hi, i have a wooden closet door that i bought a new knob for. However
  i can't get the two sides of the knob to line up because the actual
  whole is not cut large enough cause i guess the other knob is smaller.
  Anyway what can I use to file the door down a bit so i can put the new
  knob on? Its actually hollow inside the door so i imagine that it wont
  be to hard to do something with it. I just didn't wanna start cutting
  anything out of the nice little smooth round whole without knowing
  what is the best tool to use for it to still be smooth and round.

  I've enjoyed my belt sander for a long time. But it doesn't work well for
  small stuff, or long thin strips.

  So I built a platform on which I can mount the sander on its side, and
  clamped down with a couple long bolts, wing nuts and a bar over the top.

  I have a platform that I can raise and lower a bit in front of the belt.

  I've designed mine to fit on top of my router stand. I can easily take it
  off and store it away.

  This makes some sanding chores much easier, and allows me to remove quite a
  bit of material from small pieces when necessary.

  Blessings,

  Tom

  Hello,

  I have for sale an as new mini angle grinder. This grinder takes the smaller 
  grinding/cutting/sanding disks... I think they are about 4 or 5 inches 
  diameter.

  This has only been used once and is in perfect condition and comes complete 
  in box with handle, which can be positioned in 3 places and the grinder has 
  spindle lock, so removing the retaining nut is so much easier.

  Included also is instruction manual and tool to fit retaining nut.

  Only asking £15, however buyer's choice of postage will be additional.

  Payment by bank transfer preferred, payments by Paypal shall have to include 
  extra to cover admin costs imposed by Paypal.

  Kind regards,

  Mike

pounds. It's a Golds Gym model, but I'm wondering how I can get it home.
  I have family with a truck, but the lifting is going to be a pain in the **!
  So, I thought I'd have it shipped to my house because shipping is practically 
free, but then, I'd still have to get it into the house and down to the 
basement!
  I'm guessing I'll need two people for this project?

  Hi Carl,

  I have an axe file I usually use to begin with. I sharpen a bevel from the 
trailing side of the hoe fairly steep about 45 degrees so the edge will be 
thicker. I have been known to use my belt sander if I need to take a log of 
material to clear chips from the edge of a spade or square nose chisel which 
usually results in burning holes in the dust collecting bag. I also have a 
length of Whetstone to finish the edge.

  When using a file to sharpen something like an axe or hoe stroke it sideways, 
that is, don't run the teeth up and down but slide the file sideways along the 
edge more like you would stroke a knife blade with a knife steel. This takes 
the steel down fairly fast and remarkably evenly. It does leave a burr so I use 
the stone to finish that off.

  Hope that is helpful.

  Any one in the states, with either cell phone minutes, are unlimited phone

  My dad made a device to do that by stripping a couple feet of nicrome
  wire off of an electric heater and wrapping it tightly around the bottle
  to geti it hot quickly, then as you say dropping it into hot water.

  The resulting cut edge was usually quite sharp.
  It might be interesting to try it with regular wire
  and a 12 volt battery but I wonder if the heat rise in the wire
  wouldn't be so fast as to burn the wire before transferring much
  heat to the glass.

  Are you able to get to the screws that hold the handle in place? That would 
be the easiest way. 

  Beyond that, you will need to play around and cause the latch to retract 
enough to let the door open. 

  Popping the latch can be a problem depending on your skill level. I have used 
old credit cards and butter knives before. I have some thin sheet metal that 
works well because it has some spring to it. 

  As a last resort you can always knock out the hinge pins and lift the door 
out of the jam.

  You didn't mention if it is looser at the top connection or the bottom front. 
Regardless it will likely require removing some of the leather. Not total just 
one or two edges and folding back. Some arms are held on with a carriage bolt 
with the nut on the inside of the chair. Some are held on with screws through 
the arm and then into the sides of the chair. See if you can remove the staples 
under the arm enough to fold the outer leather back up to see if you are 
dealing with a carriage bolt smooth head or a screwdriver flat head. I have saw 
straight slotted, phillips and the newer have star, Torex. If it is smooth as 
in a carriage bolt head then the back first has to be removed. There are two 
latches, one on each side of the back. They are metal about 8 inches from the 
bottom of the back. If I remember right they need to be rotated up or 
counterclockwise. Then the back can be pulled straight off the two prong like 
metal brackets. The bracket is then removed and then the fabric, leather. Again 
by removaling staples and folded back until the holding nut can be found and 
tightened. If it is the lower front you might be able to remove staples under 
the chair and folding back, but more likely the seat will need removing. It is 
held on the metal mechanism with four to eight machine screws. Once the seat is 
removed then you should be able to remove fabric and fold enough back.. Note 
there is many times a flap from the back to the bottom and lower back that may 
need to be removed to facalitate back and seat removal. Hope you are lucky and 
can find screw heads from the outside by just folding the arm cover up. Opps 
forgot if the side cover comes clear up under the arm you usually have to 
remove that side to gain access to the underside of the arm. Sorry there just 
isn't a easy fix. Kind of like auto work you have to remove half the car to 
change the spark plugs.

  If you had enough eyesight to follow an outline, a rotozip would probably be
  fine. If not, it's not practical. The blades are not like drill bits,
  they're very sharp, and you can seriously mangle your fingers if they come
  into contact with the blade while it's spinning.

  What are the different kinds of hand planes and what are they used for? I 
  have seen the terms jack plane, block plane, bench plane, smoothing plane. 
  I think that there is some overlap in how these are used. Also, there are 
  the different numbers, like a #4 plane and #5 plane.

  Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Power Miter Saw

  Sent: Tuesday, November 10, 2009 2:54 AM
  Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Power Miter Saw



  A good bit heavier, and because of the rails to slide on, they do take up a 
bit more room. 

  I had a Dewalt I think it was a 705. A 12 inch stationary compound miter. Had 
because one of my houses was broken into while being remodeled and I had stuck 
the saw in a closet. Someone got a beauty. 

  The stationary compound weighed about 45 pounds and I could carry it in one 
hand. 

  I now own a Dewalt 708, and it's massive compared to the 718 model that's out 
now. The rails that mine slide on are about an inch and a half in diameter, and 
just guessing but I'd bet it's double the weight of my first saw. 

  The 718 has a little wider cut than mine but I picked mine up as a payment 
for some back rent. So I couldn't beat the price... they don't make it now, and 
the 718 is the bells and whistles model. 

  If you're thinking of getting one, check out several different brands and do 
some checking online. I've seen a bunch of them from Ryobi to Festool. And the 
prices go up steadily until you go to Festool and then the curve becomes a 
wall... $1300 at last check. 

  Also try to get a hold of a radial arm saw and see which one you like better. 
The knock on the radial arm is that you can pull the blade over your hand. You 
can do that with a slider too if you don't pay attention. 

  They both seem to take up about as much bench top but in reality, a radial 
arm is more versatile. You can raise the blade much like a table saw, just in 
reverse order. you can put a stack of dado blades and cut very accurate dados 
as wide as the arm can go. You can't do that with a slider. 

  I know this will open the old discussion again about which is better. I'll 
just say the best saw is the one you like most. Play with a few different 
brands and you'll develop a favorite.

  A standard miter can cut the width of the blade or part of that width as
  some goes beyond the fence.

  A sliding compound can get close to 16 inches in some cases. I have a 12
  inch model and I'm between 15 and 16 inches in cross cut width.

  My understanding is there are a couple of different type
  power miter saws? I am borrowing my son-in-law's standard 10
  inch one and love it. He tells me there is a type with a
  sliding arm as well to accomplish the ability to cut a wider
  board. Any idea how much wider?

  Hi All,

  Our upstairs apartment has been vacant, for quite some time now, and we're 
  trying to get it ready for possible tenants.
  The walls feel quite greasy, as well as the countertops, stove, 
  refrigerator, etc.
  What product could we use up there to do some intense cleaning, one that 
  won't create fumes?
  Thanks.

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.

  K, I am toying with this idea of making a quad train whistle. It requires 
that you drill 4 holes at different lengths.
  The deepest hole is to be 7 and 1 fourth inches I think. I checked the paddle 
bits I have and at the most, I think they are capable of drilling 4 and a half.
  Is the trick to cut the wood, and drill coinciding holes in 2 or 3 different 
pieces, then glue them all back together, forming longer holes, or are there 
longer bits to be, had?
  I have a 12 inch drill press.

  Over here in Canada there is a product called Roundup, another called Killex 
made by a different company which are still legal most places. It is an all 
purpose herbicide which kills pretty well any vegetation on contact but is 
inert almost immediately in the soil. you usually spray it however you can 
apply it with a brush or even a fabric glove over a rubber glove. A little on 
your hands won't likely hurt you but you should wash it off fairly quickly.

  I don't know what it might be called in the UK.

  There is also the possibility of a controlled accidental spill of petrol 
which will kill it.

  In the end though your going to want to pull it or scratch or scrape it out 
of there. That is just a miserable task. The dirt left in the cracks though 
will just offer bedding to new grass and weed seed and insect activity.

  If you claw out the dirt between the pavers there is a product called 
polymerized sand, I have seen it for sale in the UK, probably from building 
supply vendors or other places you might buy paving slabs. It isn't cheap, you 
brush it in between the pavers and pack it in firmly when things are dry. The 
polymer sets up with moisture then and bonds to the pavement but remains a 
little flexible. It is said to resist growth and insect activity.

  I will be putting a load of it down on my project in a couple of weeks 
hopefully.

Probably nothing to worry about.

  Is this for bonding something?

  I have heard nasty stories, one about a baby sitter who sat on a toilet seat 
which had been painted with d paint which had not fully cured and remained 
stuck there. I don't believe it was probably true though, who would leave 
something like that unprotected in a home with kids after all.

  The epoxy resins used in fiber glass can be very sticky at certain points in 
the curing and if you get it on yourself you pretty well have to wear it off.

  Generally it cures best at about 21C. There are special formulations for 
other temperatures and you can adjust that by how much catalyst you put in when 
you mix it. If working in cooler conditions add a little more.

  Be aware though that if you add too much it will cure rapidly and get pretty 
warm. It can get so hot as to spontaneously combust but you need to be using a 
lot of it as for example glassing the bottom of a boat.

  I can't think of any other issues. The fumes aren't particularly bad but not 
pleasant.

  Good luck.

  The Ben Meadows Company, which is a forestry supply outfit sells these. They 
are cruss cut saws, and are available in 3 4 or 5 foot sizes. I believe there's 
just one handle on the end of these, and there's no bow like you'd have on say 
a buck saw, so the blade must be pretty substancial.

  I've made several of them on my lathe over the years. A drill press can be 
used as well.

  Get a length of dowel rod. Drill a hole in a block of wood glew a piece of 
the dowel in the hole. Leave about 3" sticking out.
  Chuck the piece in a drill press or on a lathe. Use what ever tools you have 
to shape the wood. A launcher can be made with a
  piece of wood with a hole on one end. Stick the dowel through the hole, wrap 
string around the dowel by twisting the top. Hold
  the launcher in one hand and pull on the string with the other. A helocopter 
can be made this way as well. My Daughters had great
  fun with simple toys like that. They sure grow up fast. Now, I'm dealing with 
driving and boy friends. Where's my shotgun
  anyway? :)

  seat is Greg Jannaman, who led the student teamwithin the mechanical 
  engineering department during the past year, and ismonitoring the software 
  of the vehicle. Credit: Steven Mackay, VirginiaTech A student team in the 
  Virginia Tech College of Engineering is providingthe blind with an 
  opportunity many never thought possible: The opportunityto drive. A 
  retrofitted four-wheel dirt buggy developed by the Blind DriverChallenge 
  team (http://www.me.vt.edu/blinddriver/) from Virginia Tech'sRobotics and 
  Mechanisms Laboratory uses laser range finders, an instantvoice command 
  interface and a host of other innovative, cutting-edgetechnology to guide 
  blind drivers as they steer, brake, and accelerate.Although in the early 
  testing stage, the National Federation of theBlind -- which spurred the 
  project -- considers the vehicle a majorbreakthrough for independent living 
  of the visually impaired. "It was great!" said Wes Majerus, of Baltimore, 
  the first blind person todrive the buggy on a closed course at the Virginia 
  Tech campus thissummer. Majerus is an access technology specialist with the 
  NationalFederation of the Blind's Jernigan Institute in Baltimore, a 
  research andtraining institute dedicated to developing technologies and 
  services tohelp the blind achieve independence. Majerus called his drive a 
  liberating experience, adding that he drovebefore on Nebraska farm roads 
  with his father as a guide in the passengerseat. Sitting inside the vehicle, 
  a blind driver can turn the steering wheel,stop and accelerate by following 
  data from a computing unit that usessensory information from the laser range 
  finder serving as the 'eyes' ofthe driver, in addition to a combination of 
  voice commands and a vibratingvest as guides. A member of the Virginia Tech 
  student team sat next toMajerus in the passenger seat to monitor the 
  system's software operations. "It's a great first step," Majerus added. "As 
  far as the differencesbetween human instructions and those given by the 
  voice in the BlindDriver Challenge car, the car's instructions are very 
  precise. You use thetechnology to act on the environment -- the driving 
  course -- in a veryorderly manner. In some cases, the human passenger will 
  be vague, "turnleft" -- does that mean just a small turn to the left, or are 
  we going forlarge amounts of turn?" Also driving the vehicle was Mark 
  Riccobono, also of Baltimore, theexecutive director of the Jernigan 
  Institute, who also is blind. He calledhis test drive historic. "This is 
  sort of our going to the moon project,"he said In 2004 Jernigan Institute 
  challenged university research teams to developa vehicle that would one day 
  allow the blind to drive. Virginia Tech wasthe only university in the nation 
  to accept the nonprofit's call two yearslater, said Dennis Hong, director of 
  the Robotics and MechanismsLaboratory, part of the Virginia Tech mechanical 
  engineering department.The National Federation of the Blind provided a 
  $3,000 grant to launch theproject. "I thought it would be a very rewarding 
  project, helping the blind," saidHong, the current faculty adviser on the 
  project. "We are not only excitedabout the vehicle itself, but more than

  from this project that can beused for helping the blind in so many ways." 
  The team will bring the Blind Driver Challenge vehicle to the 
  NationalFederation of the Blind's Youth Slam summer camp event held July 
  26through Aug. 1 in College Park, Md. There, the team hopes to haveteenagers 
  who would be obtaining their driver's licenses, but cannotbecause of their 
  blindness, drive the buggy. Wesley Majerus, an access technology specialist 
  with the NationalFederation of the Blind's Jernigan Institute, finishes 
  driving theVirginia Tech Blind Driver Challenge vehicle around a roped-off 
  drivingcourse on a campus parking lot. The experience, he said, was 
  liberating. Youth participants also are expected to remote control drive 
  miniaturecars. Additionally, the car is expected to ride in a National 
  Federationof the Blind-sponsored parade in Washington D.C. "I most look 
  forward to learning as much as I can from these bright youngstudents," said 
  Greg Jannaman, who led the Virginia Tech student team inhis senior year and 
  graduated in May with a bachelor's degree inmechanical engineering. "Blind

  Spiro:
  The ones I know about just have a barrel that you turn to adjust the spray. I 
don't know if there's any kind of pressure enhancement device inside the thing, 
I think the only real difference between it and a standard nozel is that the 
intensity or pressure of the spray is constant and not affected by the opening 
and closing of the spray valve the way it is with a standard nozel.

  Jim,

  My issue is that I don't have a drill press right now. Perhaps I need
  to get one at some point soon?
