Re: [BlindHandyMan] Emailing: Future Aids - Raised-Line Drawing Board.htm
well, then I say be very careful. I love mine. The thinner the blade, and the corser the blade the better for turning. But whew! it can start a canal on a fingertip. Of course for very straight, hahahahaha, cuts, one can use a blade without many tangential burrs, and feel the side of the blade;. But I get the feeling that my makita likes to run, so I dial it down at any sign of necessity. Clamped it to the side of my mom's open basement steps and ran a piece of molding between the step and the blade, and surpised both of us with how nicely it made the right size piece of trim.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Emailing: Future Aids - Raised-Line Drawing Board.htm
Just an associated question, I have never found it very effective or efficient to try to follow lines or drawings or score marks with a saw. If deeply enough etched I can generally get the tip of a chisel accurately into it but otherwise, following with a saw and even planing down to it once really close I loose it in the natural grain. Following a scribe with a jig saw or scroll saw, can some of you really do that?

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Emailing: Future Aids - Raised-Line Drawing Board.htm
if you go really slowly, and don't mind go really slowly, you can give the saber saw little bursts, and keep checking and checking and do it. But that's an afternoon that requires at least a beer or two with dinner after. It doesn't hurt to set the speed of the saber saw low either.. additional advice, set the front guard of the machine as close to the blade as possible for slightly longer power on states. Rapidly ta ta ta tapping a rather think chisel around could do it if the work isn't thick. Less nerve racking that way. I'd start off that way as well to make the line really distinct after the scribe line is complete.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Emailing: Future Aids - Raised-Line Drawing Board.htm
Well what is nice about this raise drawing is the lines are raise so you can feel them on the paper so what I did is taped the paper to the board and with my small scroll saw I can follow the line. The scroll saw is a real small table type. Also with this small scroll saw I can actually touch the blade and will not get cut.

Basically, you just place a regular 8.5 X 11 sheet of paper into the frame on this specially-designed wooden board. Then, using an ordinary pen or Braille stylus, simply draw whatever you like - pressing firmly. Instantly, you'll be able to feel a clear outline of what you've drawn. And when you flip the page over, you'll have a perfectly-raised diagram on the reverse side - and every detail will easily be felt. Never before has there been such an awesome raised drawing system available to the blind. Now, blind kids can draw pictures to their hearts' content; and, in seconds, parents and teachers can produce tactile diagrams of formerly visual concepts. Perhaps best of all, you don't need any specialized, expensive plastic sheets or writing instruments to do it - thin copy paper or even thick Braille paper will work nicely!
