[BlindHandyMan] Selecting the Correct saw Blade for Your Project
Hi The secret to proper cuts on the stock in your woodworking projects is to use the right saw blade. Of course, the saw blade that you use should be sharp enough to cut cleanly through the stock without burning or tearing the wood. Types of Saw Blades: The two primary types of circular saw blades are the same as the two primary types of traditional hand saws: rip blades and crosscut blades. A rip blade is designed to cut with the grain of the stock. It has a limited number of very deep teeth, to help clear away the material that is cut. A rip blade will cut with the grain very quickly, but won't leave the cleanest of finishes. A crosscut blade cuts with kerf using chisels or carbides that alternate between cutting wide left and wide right every other tooth. This can produce a very fine finish on most materials when crosscutting. Combination blades are those that combine the benefits of both rip and crosscut blades, and are quite common. Combination blades come in a variety of tooth counts, typically ranging from as low as 24-tooth to as high as 80-tooth. The rule to remember is: the more teeth, the finer the finish. Blades with a low tooth count will cut very aggressively but leave a relatively rough finish, whereas a greater number of teeth will leave a cleaner finish. Specialty blades, such as plywood blades, will have a much higher tooth count and will leave a smooth finish with little tearout, but cut comparatively slowly. Specialty Blades: There are specialty blades for cutting other materials, such as diamond-tipped blades for cutting masonry, or hardened blades for cutting steel and aluminum. Specific to woodworking, another common type of specialty blade is the dado blade. The two types of dado blades are wobble blades, where the blade is adjusted to a particular angle to create a dado, and stacked dado sets. Wobble dado blades can create a considerable amount of vibration, which can be a bit unnerving when in use. Additionally, wobble blades don't leave the cleanest dadoes for your joinery. A preferred, but more expensive type of dado blade is the stacked dado set. This set consists of a full crosscut blade on each side of the arbor, with smaller chippers in the middle. The chippers are typically either 1/8-inch or 1/16-inch in thickness. The width of the dado is dependent on the number of chippers on the arbor between the two blades. A typical stacked dado set will be able to cut dadoes between 1/4 (using no chippers) to 13/16 (using the entire compliment of chippers). Dado blades should only be used on table saws or radial arm saws. They are not safe for use on a circular saw. Blade Sizes: Saw blades come in many different sizes, ranging anywhere from 5 to 12, but only certain sizes are available for use on each particular type of saw. Consult the documentation that comes with your saw(s) to determine what sizes of blades can be used on your particular models. Never attempt to use a blade that is not of the recommended size on any of your saws. Circular saw blades are typically 7-1/4 in diameter, whereas table saws, radial arm saws and compound miter saws will most often use 10 or 12 blades. Care For Your Saw Blades: When you've used a saw blade for a period of time, they can become dull or caked with pitch, and thus less effective. If a considerable amount of sap (pitch) has collected on the carbides, there are cleaning solutions available at your fine woodworking supplier to remove the pitch. You can also try this handy bit blade cleaning tip. If you purchase quality carbide blades, they can be sharpened by a professional saw sharpener, which will increase the life of the blade. Some companies that make high quality saw blades, such as Forrester, offer sharpening services through the manufacturer's website (for a fee, of course). However, quality blades can be sharpened a number of times, which will help justify the increased initial cost. Better quality blades will cut quicker and cleaner, and keep their edge longer.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Drilling Shelf Pin Holes
Pin holes are nothing more than little holes that are predrilled to carry a pin that you insert into the hole. You insert these pins in the vertical uprights of the structure carrying the shelves. Usually the pins are set in the front and back of the outside verticals at the same height. Now if you have a half inch pin, then you want to drill into the vertical only a quarter of an inch, thus leaving a quarter of an inch to carry the shelve. Another words once the pins are set into the verticals, you take the shelves, and lay them level on the protruding pins. A template is nothing more than a piece of material that is used to make more than one more of the same at the same location. For instance, in the case of these shelves, you could take a piece of wood or a peice of metal and pre-drill holes into it. then set the templeate flush to the bottom of the vertical and drill your holes. You do repete this to both front and back of your verticals, and if done precisely, the shelves will set true. Hope this was understanable.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] measuring
John, Interesting, the unit I have has 12 and 24 inch extension rods. It was invented at Overbrook in the very late 1940s. A friend of mine who went to that school in early 1950 made them. I did not know that there was a similar product on the market. I wanted to have mine duplicated so that I could send the original to the school for their museum, but it would be very expensive. I did make some photographs for them. Do you know how much the rotomatic costs and is it 3/8 all thread? If it is not too expensive and does the same thing I would consider getting one and donating the original to the school.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] horizontal table
Hi John, Flatbed Horizontal Benchtop Table Rout wide stock FLAT ON THE TABLE with tall bits in the horizontal position. Don't stand stock precariously on edge!

Re: [BlindHandyMan] measuring
John, Thanks, there are a few slight differences. Mine the main part is 12.5 with a 1 and 2 foot aluminum extension rod. It is a shame that the school does not have any of the items that that instructor invented. He had many patents on these items. My friend also has a pocket stylist that was invented in the 1940s. It has a turned metal knob drilled and tapped at the small end. The point of the stylist is affixed to a threaded metal shaft that screws into the knob. When not in use you put the point into the knob and reverse for use. These were also produced at Over Brook. At one time the school had a fantastic wood amd metal shop. When my brother attended in mid 1970s he made a real neat lamp. He took a lot of blocks of different woods and drilled a center hole in them then aligning the holes he glued the blocks together. When cured he mounted this long block on a lathe and turned the most unique lamp.

I wanted to have mine duplicated so that I could send the original to the school for their museum, but it would be very expensive. I did make some photographs for them.

[BlindHandyMan] ordering cabinets from Menards
Hi, I have ordered 3 cabnets from menards and a counter top plus everything to put it all together. It is my understanding all I am going to need to do is: 1. screw the cabnets together 2. place slats on the top of the cabnets and screw the counter top on to the slats. I am told I have to screw the cabnets to the wall, but I do not want to do this in case I wish to move it at a later date. So my questions: 1. is this something easily done or is there things I have not thought of. Btw: these are cabnets that will sit on the floor. I see most of my cabnets in the kitchen are sitting on the wood floor they did not put tile down. Is it ok to place these cabnets on my tile or will it reck it over time? 2. I have two plugins that will be blocked behind the cabnets I am not sure how I want to get access to them. 1. cut holes in the counter and back of the cabnet. I'd hate to spill something then it would be a mess inside the cabnet as well. 2. just running flat heavyduty extention coard the small ones out the sides of the cabnet or out to the top as behind the cabnet is a half wall and have them go in to a serge protecter so appliences can be plugged in. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] measuring
When I was in machine shop training, we made some variations on the rotomatic. We made a short, 3 inch model with no extensions. We made a 3 inch l shaped model with a hole drilled where the 2 pieces of the l met. We made a 12 inch cross with a hole drilled in the middle. I still have all of them. earlier, Lenny McHugh, wrote: John, Thanks, there are a few slight differences. Mine the main part is 12.5 with a 1 and 2 foot aluminum extension rod. It is a shame that the school does not have any of the items that that instructor invented. He had many patents on these items. My friend also has a pocket stylist that was invented in the 1940s. It has a turned metal knob drilled and tapped at the small end. The point of the stylist is affixed to a threaded metal shaft that screws into the knob. When not in use you put the point into the knob and reverse for use. These were also produced at Over Brook. At one time the school had a fantastic wood amd metal shop. When my brother attended in mid 1970s he made a real neat lamp. He took a lot of blocks of different woods and drilled a center hole in them then aligning the holes he glued the blocks together. When cured he mounted this long block on a lathe and turned the most unique lamp.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] texturing wood
I don't know but I would assume so. The chain would make a lot of indentations in the surface. I think it would also depend on the wood. A softer like pine would probably have much deeper dings than oak.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] ordering cabinets from Menards
Hi Jim I suggest you first move the electrical outlets up the wall so you have access to them. As they are generally on a stud tracing it up higher should be easy. Generally instructions come with these types of cupboards but I would be screwing them to the wall if you want to move them later just unscrew them. Out here everything is screwed up using an Allan Key, what I like to do is cut the bend off and put the straight end in a driver drill it is a lot quicker. But start the screws first so you do not cross thread them. Make sure each cupboard is level with the next so the counter top fits correctly. This might mean using wedges to bring each one level with each other. Generally kitchen cupboards fit directly onto the floor and not over tiles could you remove the tiles where the cupboards are going to go then you could also screw the kicks flat to the floor.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] ordering cabinets from Menards
If you have any thought and want to take these cabinets you number one don't want to remove any tile. Also most cabinets screwed to the wall are considered part of the house structure and are intended to pe left when moving. So no don't fasten them to the wall. They asked about back splash. If you have the molded style that is curved and part of the top you have nothing to worry about. If it is the style with square corners that is intended to be glued to the wall you will need to fasten it the top with screws through the top and into the backsplash. I would then cut a hole in the back where the outlets are. plug an extension cord in and bring it up to the top whereever you want it. I would attach two or three strips to the back the thickness of the cord so the cabinets will not smash it. So when you move unplug the cords move the cibmets and clean the line along the tile floor and everything is back to normal. Do not plug in an extension cord without cutting a hole. It would un accessable which is a definite code violation.

I am told I have to screw the cabnets to the wall, but I do not want to do this in case I wish to move it at a later date.

I see most of my cabnets in the kitchen are sitting on the wood floor they did not put tile down. Is it ok to place these cabnets on my tile or will it reck it over time? 2. I have two plugins that will be blocked behind the cabnets I am not sure how I want to get access to them. 1. cut holes in the counter and back of the cabnet.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] router for router table
Last march I purchased a Triton 3.25 HP model of router which I eventually intend to use in a router table. It is a heavy and big beast, a plunge router. You probably don't require the plunge facility too much in a table, I am thinking I will fit a router jack though one day so I can raise the router into the work when needed rather than dropping the work over a moving bit and will be glad enough to have the plunge capability then. Makita makes a router with similar specifications but I haven't seen it. I am generally happy with this Triton, in some ways I will be sorry to consign it to a table, it has an excellent fence and circle cutting jig arrangement which is very easy to instal and remove which I really like, only one of the type I have ever seen. It was on sale at Busybee Tools for $325 last March , seems to be selling for around $500 now but I do see the Makita come on sale for a little over $300 from time-to-time. Hope this helps.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Drilling Shelf Pin Holes
Pegboard can work and I have often used it but it isn't too durable. What I liked about my notched stick is that I was able to just slide the work sideways feeling along the stick with the spinning bit, when it slipped into a notch I just settled it into place then cranked the bit through the work. Very quick and essentially no wear on the jig so far. No need to fiddle to get the bit into the center of the hole in the pegboard and all that.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] horizontal table
There are limited applications for a horizontal table, I have been cutting sliding dovetails today, not required for the router table drawers I am making but I like them just the same. To cut the long pins I set a fence exposing only a little bit of the dovetail cutter then holding the side of the drawer against the fence and the end of that board down onto the table and with a push pad to hold the board against the fence pushed the board past the cutter. The drawer wall is only 18 inches high so not too difficult to control however a horizontal table would have the bit turning in the horizontal axis and the edge of it protruding just above the table. I would have pushed the end of the drawer side against a fence then pressed the board down onto the table and holding it there pushed it past the bit like you might with a miter gauge. There aren't a lot of situations where you push wood through a router on it's end or edge, Raised panels and sliding dovetails come to mind but most router operations are done on the vertical access. I hadn't thought of it before this thread came up but I am thinking that I could probably build an accessory to create one for that purpose on the table I am building. Some ready rod fitted with a crank to raise and lower a carriage and some of that extruded channel as a guide should about do it.

[BlindHandyMan] not allowed on TV
Hi All, I am convinced that there some people that should not be allowed on TV. This afternoon I was channel surfing and temporarily stopped on the Home and Garden channel. There was a couple showing how to install molding. This is when I quickly changed the channel. The woman was showing how to use a scratch awl to countersink the nails. A $2.00 nail set would be much safer and eliminate the possibility of some damage to the molding. I have a mental picture of placing the point of the awl and hitting it with a hammer and having it slip splitting the molding.

Makita makes a router with similar specifications but I haven't seen it. I am generally happy with this Triton, in some ways I will be sorry to consign it to a table, it has an excellent fence and circle cutting jig arrangement which is very easy to instal and remove which I really like, only one of the type I have ever seen. It was on sale at Busybee Tools for $325 last March , seems to be selling for around $500 now but I do see the Makita come on sale for a little over $300 from time-to-time. Hope this helps.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Sink trap
Hi Robert, There is probably a specific tool for the job but all I have ever used is a vice grip or even a bar held between those little pegs to remove the plug. Keep a bucket under the trap you will likely get about a cup of disgusting effluent come out of there. There should be a little rubber washer, try not to lose it, it makes a difference.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Sink trap
Robert, you can remove the plug in the sink trap by turning it counter clockwise with channel locks or an adjustable wrench. Have a can or a cup ready when you take out the plug to catch the water in the trap.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Sink trap
Well in that case I have never seen such. The only ones I am familiar with have either two sort of ears which stick down from the bottom of the threaded plug like device or lugs which face into the center of a sort of hole molded up into the center of the plug. Sorry! You can still probably grab the outer diameter of the thing assuming it is in other ways the same as I am used to with a pair of vise-grip or other channel lock pliers. There are, as someone else mentioned here the sort which can be unthreaded with a nut from the end of the elbow that faces down toward the trap at it's exit. The entry also has a thread which slides onto the tail from the sink. In this way you can remove the entire trap for cleaning or replacement or just to remove the plug from the convenience of a work bench I suppose. .

[BlindHandyMan] question on installing a temp sencer
I have a temp sencer that I need to install on a Chevy 4.3 It has brass threads and threads into the head. I was told by a mechanic to use some of that teflon tape of which I have a roll. How much should I put around the threads? Do I wrap it once or should I cover all the threads with one coat? or some other method. I would welcome any other suggestions.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Electric house wiring question: Hi elect
Hi Dale, thanks that's about what I thought and it's nice to have confirmation. I am sure we don't have aluminum wire, if we did I'd be in there right now to be sure nothing has gone high resistance. I always hate to turn off all the power if i don't have too, so much junk needs resetting GRIN Maybe I'll wait till the power fails due to a storm and then turn off the breakers and see what i can find.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Electric house wiring question:
thanks Ron, I was picturing an extra junction box up in the crawl space but of course the light ceiling box is right there in the hall so that's likely the point where everything might be accessible. I did check all the breakers of course and all the fuses. I don't think it's likely on the neighbor's circuit as not at all close to the common wall which is thankfully between the garages. looking for a good set of rubber gloves first of course.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] router for router table
It is advantageous to use a plunge router for this application. Removing the counter balance springs is a real advantage for a router that is dedicated for use in a router table. This makes height adjustment a breeze. Make sure it will use both 1/4n and 1/2 shank router bits. Find one that is very powerful and variable speed. It is a lot easier to use one that uses one wrench and a spindle lock rather than one that uses 2 wrenches to change bits. Go and put them in your hands to look at them before putting down the money. - Original Message - From: Tom Huhn To: blind Sent: Sunday, January 07, 2007 11:08 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] router for router table BlankHi guys, what is a good router for a router tableup to 3hp thanks Tom [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] -- No virus found in this incoming message.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] question on installing a temp sencer
Use 1/2 wide teflon tape. Wrap it around the threads holding the tape edge flush with the beginning bottom threads of the fitting. Rotate the fitting in the direction that you would to install it and keep tension on the tape so that it is quite tight on the threads as you rotate. Make about 4 full revolutions around the threads. Teflon tape is for a fitting with at least 2 wires going to it. If there is only 1 wire, it needs to make a ground connection through the threads and the tape could prohibit this. If it uses only 1 wire, use a very small amount of thread sealing compound and tightly install the fitting. - Original Message - From: Robert j. moore [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, January 07, 2007 9:40 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] question on installing a temp sencer I have a temp sencer that I need to install on a Chevy 4.3 It has brass threads and threads into the head. I was told by a mechanic to use some of that teflon tape of which I have a roll. How much should I put around the threads? Do I wrap it once or should I cover all the threads with one coat? or some other method. I would welcome any other suggestions.

The only ones I am familiar with have either two sort of ears which stick down from the bottom of the threaded plug like device or lugs which face into the center of a sort of hole molded up into the center of the plug. Sorry! You can still probably grab the outer diameter of the thing assuming it is in other ways the same as I am used to with a pair of vise-grip or other channel lock pliers. There are, as someone else mentioned here the sort which can be unthreaded with a nut from the end of the elbow that faces down toward the trap at it's exit. The entry also has a thread which slides onto the tail from the sink. In this way you can remove the entire trap for cleaning or replacement or just to remove the plug from the convenience of a work bench I suppose. .

Keep a bucket under the trap you will likely get about a cup of disgusting effluent come out of there. There should be a little rubber washer, try not to lose it, it makes a difference.
