[BlindHandyMan] Their stupidity floors me!
I bought a bow saw yesterday, and when I got it home, and stripped the cardboard shield off the blade, I found that there was a second blade there, which was very nice, but where the stupidity comes in is that to remove the second blade, which is for ripping, one has to take both blades off, and, that isn't easy! The main blade is held in place with a nut and screw. The obvious thing to do, (well, obvious to me anyway!) would be to have the spare blade under the nut, but it is under the screw head, so to get it off, you have to take the nut off, and then wind a very tight fitting screw out of the whole shebang. Once you have the spare blade off, you reassemble the saw, hoping like hell that the screw goes back through the main blade! Is that crazy? or what?

I don't know exactly what you have there, but I threw away all that junk and put in two large metal screws in place of the nut and bolt.

[BlindHandyMan] rattling pipes
Recently, my stepson broke the floater in the toilet tank. That big plastic ball on the articulated arm that stops the water flow when it reaches a certain level. So now, to flush it, we turn on the water from the wall valve. When we do this, the pipes make a very loud rattling sound as if they want to jump out of their mountings. HOw do I fix this? The nuts ataching the in flow pipe to the tank and to the wall seem to be tight, so I can only guess this is happening inside the wall. Is this about right?

Re: [BlindHandyMan] removing aluminum bolts
Are you positive the bolts are aluminum? If so, it is very rare. In general, you want to work on aluminum cold. You should use a good penetrating lube on the fasteners before you start the work, and allow it time to penetrate. Be sure to use antisieze conpound on any bolt threads that are screwed into aluminum, or composites. This will keep them from galling when installed and make them easier to get out the next time.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] rattling pipes
More likely the washer or seal on the ballcock doesn't have pressure on it. This could and in more cases does cause a rattling noise in the pipes. I suggest you replace the ballcock with a flow-master ballcock. Spend the extra dollar and get the one with the round plastic pipe, which the float rides up on. The I bean flow master just doesn't do the job. How you change a ball cock. 1. Turn off the water to the tank. 2 flush to remove most of the water from the tank 3. Take a sponge and sponge out the rest of the water from the tank. 4.Disconnect the supply line from the bottom of the ballcock. 6 Remove the retaining nut from the ballcock 7 Lift old ballcock from tank. Installing new ballcock 1. If you purchase a flow-master with the round pipe. Adjust height of ball cock by holding upper part of ballcock and turning bottom for adjustment. Should be about 1/2 inch from top of tank. 2 Place gasket on threaded end 3 Place ballcock in tank. 4 make sure float is at the right angle in tank for smooth operation. 5 Place retainer nut on ballcock and tighten 6 pour some water in tank to make sure gasket is sealed at bottom of tank. 7 attach the supply line and tighten nut so there is no leak at the fitting.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] cooling system repair
It's been a while since I've worked with these. As I recall, there are 2 areas on the clip that are on opposite sides of the fitting that you depress with your fingers and then the hose will pull off. The clip that you depressed will either come off with the hose, or stay with the fitting. It is straight forward and all you do is reverse the process to reconnect it. A new clip might come with the new fitting. If so, use it instead of the old one. Hope this helps. Good luck. - Original Message - From: Robert J.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Their stupidity floors me!
As far as I can tell, the blade fits behind a little hook at the hand end, and the nut and screw is at the other. I will look again, carefully, and see if there is anything else there to slack off the tension, which, of course, would make it easier to get that darned screw out.

Usually there is a lever on the grip side that pulls down to loosen the tension.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Their stupidity floors me!
My saw has long since disappeared however as I remember there was a sort of clip arrangement a little like the sort of arrangement used to latch a lunch box. You pull it away from the end of the saw frame and it releases the tension on the blade. For cutting logs and fire wood in moderate amounts there isn't anything like a good sharp blade in one of those bow saws. Whisper quiet and remarkably fast, light in weight and no stinking exhaust. Always starts and much easier to maintain the blade than the chain of a power saw. Mind you I don't heat with wood, don't have to pack in a dozen or more cords a year as do some of my friends, I would probably enjoy a much more intimate relationship with a chain saw under those circumstances.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] removing aluminum bolts
I tried to remove the quick connect inlet on my 4.3 and as most of you that work on cars may suspect Yep it broke off flush. Really ticked me off. Now I need to get it down to the shop. I like a chalange but this was over my head. Just a warning for those who think they may want to tackle one of these them selves. If you are prepared to drill it out and re tap it I say go for it but if you don't have the tools or the experiance to do that I would, as larry puts it, walk around that one. Now I still need to tackle the idler arm. If I can get it broke loose with a pickle fork I can handle the rest of the job no problem. thanks for all the input. robert To listen to the show archives go to link http://acbradio.org/handyman.html or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday The Pod Cast address for the Cooking In The Dark Show is. http://www.gcast.com/u/cookingindark/main.xml Visit The New Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following Address: http://www.jaws-users.com/handyman/ Visit the new archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!
