[BlindHandyMan] sander?
Should I get a sander and, if so, what type? I don't have room for one on a stand or bench. What I have now are the type for a drill, a disk and 2 drums.

[BlindHandyMan] All About Sanders
Hi Everyone The question was asked what sander is right for me well I hope after reading this you have a better idea of what is out there. All About Sanders Here we go portable models. Basic portable sanders include: belt, random orbital, 1/4-sheet (palm) finishing, and 1/2-sheet finishing. Specialty sanders are also available these days, including oscillating spindle sanders and profile or detail sanders. Air sanders are available for auto finishing, fiberglass and other sanding chores. Bench sanders include disc and belt, surface, drum and drum spindle. Drums are also available for use in portable electric drills and drill presses. Belt Sanders Portable belt sanders are made for fast removal of stock. They will quickly smooth down and level a surface, remove paint or glue lines. Belt sanders are available in several sizes, determined by the belt size. Sanders for most home and shop use run from 3-by-18- to 4-by-24-inch models. As with any power tool, more power translates into more work, more amps and faster cutting. Amps can range from 5 to 11 in home shop models. The speed of the belt also determines the amount of cutting power and this can range from 700 to more than 1,400 feet per minute. Variable speed is also a feature, although it can add to the cost. Some models feature a dial for speed control, others offer a finger control. The DeWalt heavy-duty 3-by-21-inch variable-speed sander allows you to use a dial to optimize belt speed for specific applications. It features a three-wheel design with extremely low center of gravity and features the longest, 3-by-21-inch platen available. Most belt sanders come with a dust-collection bag or a dust-collection system that directs dust away from the user. The new Dragster from Black Decker has a radical new low-profile, front-end design that allows you to sand closer to vertical surfaces, such as baseboards, under cabinets or deck rails. The slim front-design also allows you to sand between spindles or narrow spaces. A retractable locking hood on the front lifts to expose the top of the belt for sanding in confined areas. Bosch offers a unique compact belt sander kit with a 1 1/2-inch wide sanding belt and a double-sided platen that sands flush on either face. Black Decker Dragster The Milwaukee 4-by-24-inch sander features a 10-amp motor and has a capacity of 1,400 square feet per minute for fast material removal. The rubber-coated rear pulley provides full traction under heavy pressure. This big sander also has full belt traction under heavy pressure. Random Orbit Sanders Once the surface has been leveled with a belt sander, the next sander to use might be a random orbit model. Random orbit sanders utilize an oscillating action that removes swirl marks. With the same grit sandpaper in each, straight-line sanders are not quite as aggressive. You may wish to start with a random-orbit to remove any belt-sander marks and then move to the straight-line sanders for further smoothing. Random-orbit may be a palm or grip design and the sanding pads may be held by adhesive or hook and loop. The new 5-inch Jug Handle random orbit sander from Black Decker is ergonomically designed with five gripping areas for optimal versatility, comfort and control. Many conventional random orbit sanders repeat the same orbital sanding motion. The Jug Handle sander incorporates two simultaneous motions. As the sanding pad spins in circles, another mechanism causes the pad to also move in an elliptical orbit. These two motions overlap to produce an ultra-smooth, scratch-free surface. Festool's Rotex RO150 is a solidly built 6-inch multipurpose sander. It gives you the choice of two sanding motions - random orbital for fine sanding, and gear-driven rotary orbital motion for rough material removal. Just turn a knob to switch between modes, which adjust the lateral action of the pad. The dual-mode sanding and interchangeable pads and abrasive sheets means the RO150 can handle all phases of a sanding job, from rough material removal to sanding a high-gloss finish. It's a tool for the serious woodworker, and it hooks up to Festool's mini dust-extraction vacuums for near dustless sanding. Plus, the dust extractor doubles as a powerful shop vac for tidying the work area. Festool RO150 Another double-duty tool, Metabo's SX E 450 Duo features a sturdy die-cast aluminum bearing housing and dust-sealed ball bearings for long tool life. This 6-inch, 7-volt, variable-speed sander features two orbital settings: 1/8-inch orbit for fine sanding; 1/4-inch orbit for coarse sanding. This professional-grade model features a comfortable front handle and a handy dust-collection bag. Metabo SX E 450 Duo Ridgid's 5-inch RS2600 random orbit sander features electronic speed control that maintains a constant speed, at whatever setting you choose. Highlights include a compact, ergonomic design, a handy, molded plastic storage case and a

Well, I am sure you have thought of the following ways to keep grass from around the fence, but I'll toss them out anyway.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Keeping Grass Off A Fence
This is where you need to have a good relationship with your neighbor. I'd ask him to spray a 4 or 5 inch border using roundup along the fence line once in a while. Doing this would also eliminate the use of a weed whacker along the fence line. I'd even offer the use of my own roundup. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Check out the new improvements in Yahoo!

[BlindHandyMan] Heating thermostats?
Hi, I went to home depot and purchased 2 honeywell EASY TO READ raised number-click style thermostats. My electrician said that this wasn't going to work properly because what I need is just a 2 wire/heating oil forced hot water version. The one I got was a five wire for heat colling and hot water ect version. I called Honeywell to see if Ican get the one I need and not getting anywhere. Can someone tell me where I can get something that a blind person can use like this? I know there is the talking thermostat but, all I need is the basic put-it-on 68 degrees type. Any help will be greatly appreciated. p.s. My electrician is also trying some supply houses. If I can get a model number or something, It may be easier. Andy.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Keeping Grass Off A Fence
I have come across but never used plastic borders for keeping grass from fences, drives, and the like. These were solid but somewhat flexible plastic strips about 6-8 inches in width. Don't know how well they work. They were available at garden sections of stores like Lowe's and Home Depot. RD Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Great things are happening at Yahoo! Groups.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Heating thermostats?
I think I bought a cheap one from Independent Living Aids that's easy-to-use. It is tactile, and it clicks every two degrees ;f. I think it was under $15.00 US. -Original Message- .From: Andy LaPointe[EMAIL PROTECTED] .Sent: 3/9/07 4:35:36 PM .To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.comblindhandyman@yahoogroups.com .Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Heating thermostats? . .Hi, I went to home depot and purchased 2 honeywell EASY TO READ raised number-click style thermostats.
