Re: [BlindHandyMan] Nursery floor.

Dan, some of that flooring comes with a backing material that probably will do the job, but check with the manufacturer of any flooring for underlayment requirements. Some require you to have one in order to meet the warranty requirements. I ended up putting plastic sheeting down in my living ro

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Power Miter Saw

John, a radial arm saw will not do as many angle functions. It will take a bigger cross-cut than a miter saw. A radial arm saw is accurate on cutoffs and ripping lengthwise and can be set up very fast for those and also doing dado work. The miter saw will cut bevel angle cuts and can be s

[BlindHandyMan] Using a flair tool.

Anyone use a flair tool much? Meaning, the little hand crank things you use to flare out the ends of a piece of copper pipe or tubing? I just don't get why sometimes it works, and other times I kill myself and it still won't seem to happen. Any pointers would be appreciated. Matt [Non-text por

Hello Matt, When you make a flare on the end of a copper tube, you want to bring it out from the body section that holds the pipe. It must be tight to hold the pipe while doing the flare. The turning section has to seat all the way into the body section that holds the pipe. Now if

Its been years since I used one of these but I seem to remember a couple of steps that helped. Be sure the tubing is cut square and is put in the flaring tool with the end being square with the flaring block. On larger tubing I would flare it in steps. I would not put the tubing flush with the s

You are correct, they are large. Not so much when you bring one home from the store, then they are tall and heavy but you will immediately want to add a fairly long table and it will need to be well supported on the ends so as not to tip it over. Most, maybe all are 220 volt tools as well and b
