Re: [BlindHandyMan] Pipe Bluing Clamps
Hi, by threading the pipe at both ends, and having a variety of lengths, by using a coupling to join them, you can achieve almost any length you need. Armando - Original Message - From: Dale Leavens To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 11:10 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Pipe Bluing Clamps You are fortunate to have the pipe for free. When you add the cost of new black iron pipe they become actually quite expensive. They are heavy too, mind you mine are three quarters inch pipe which must be nearly an inch outside diameter. One other advantage is that you can always have extra lengths of pipe and convert your supply of clamp heads to a variety of clamp lengths. When clamping boards edge-to-edge take care to alternate the pipe clamps on opposite faces as they tend to cause the boards to bow away from the pipe side unless balanced from the other side. The force isn't exactly at right angles to the long direction of the pipes.

I first checked out what large sash clamps were available but found them to be expensive $34 just for one. I bought a set of pipe gluing clamps these have a 3/4 BSP thread in one end and screw onto a 3/4 pipe and the pair cost $17.95. I picked up the pipe for nothing it however is black pipe not galvanised. I cleaned the pipe up using emery paper and painted on a rust converter sealer and I am using a epoxy paint to finish them off. I made them six feet long and was going to cut them up making a pair 4 feet and a pair 2 feet but my son said why not keep them that long, they are completely adjustable with a screw handle one end and the jaw slides along the pipe at the other end then locks off at the desired length required. If I get into a position where the six foot length is to long I can cut them off quickly with my steel cut off machine. So with a little effort I now have my own which should last for a long time.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] replacing water supply valves
ChiliBob, You said that you ran a line from the hot water tank back to the manifold. So does that mean the manifold has a hot side and a cold side? It would seem somewhat silly to be dumping your hot water back through the incoming cold water.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] sharpening tools
Here is a list of articles dealing with sharpening that have been recorded on CDs by Woodworking for the Blind over the past year. Magazine CD 1 has an article on Sharpening Machines from Fine Woodworking 182, p. 38. Magazine CD 4 has Sharpen With Sandpaper from Fine Woodworking 184, p. 63. Magazine CD 12 has Keeping Tools Sharp from Fine Woodworking 189, p. 80. Magazine CD 7 has Bowl Gouge Sharpening from American Woodworker 123, p. 78. Magazine CD 9 has Slow Speed Grinders from American Woodworker 124, p. 62. Magazine CD 10 has Tune-up an Old Chisel from American Woodworker 125, p. 79. Magazine CD 14 has Reshaping the Skew Chisel from American Woodworker 127, p. 40 as well as Jet's Slow Speed Wet Sharpener from Woodcraft 13 dated January, 2007, p. 67 and Pinnacle Honing Guide from Woodcraft 14 dated March, 2007, p. 66. Magazine CD 7 has Sharpening Drill Bits from Woodsmith 160, p. 12. I cite the magazine name, issue number and page number to help in finding the article on the CD.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] sharpening tools
Usually this is done by hand, first tilting the gouge to get the proper bevel angle and then smoothly rolling the gouge across the grinder at the same angle to sharpen it from edge to edge. It takes a lot of practice. There are newer tools like the Wolverine sharpening jig that enable you to set the angle and easily roll it from side to side while maintaining the angle. Go to www.leevalley.com or woodcraft.com and look up Wolverine. -- Larry Martin Woodworking for the Blind --joining the world of blind wood workers -- Original message -- From: carl [EMAIL PROTECTED] wil that work with gouges and how wud you matain the right angle for the bevel? - Original Message - From: rj To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2007 3:02 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] sharpening tools A fine file. - Original Message - From: carl To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2007 9:43 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] sharpening tools what is the best way to sharpen tools i don't think i'd feal safe with a dry grinderr thay run to fast? email [EMAIL PROTECTED] skype carlf16 msn [EMAIL PROTECTED] or .com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] 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 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!

Re: [BlindHandyMan] sharpening tools
chears for your help dale - Original Message - From: Dale Leavens To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2007 3:26 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] sharpening tools Probably the very best way is with a pond of variously graded water stones and a couple of hones, fine oil stones and maybe a diamond hone. As you gain skill you may want one or mor of those bevel jigs to guide the blade while grinding and later honing a very fine edge. There is the Scary system (spelling uncertain) which uses sand paper stuck to very flat surfaces like plate glass, this is pretty cheap and can grind a well formed edge. Finally I am very impressed with what I have seen in the new generation of slow speed wet grinders. Tormek was probably the first and remains the most expensive but now Delta and Jet have similar units quite a bit cheaper and arguably as good and maybe better. These have a 2 inch wide grinding wheel which turns relatively slowly in a bath of water and which can be finished to grind quite aggressively or finished for a much finer grind and on the other side is a leather wheel which is used with honing compound for a really rather wonderful finish. There is quite a bit of learning with these too, a number of jigs and fixtures for holding various blades from chisels to plane blades or jointer knives and even specially shaped turning chisels. A collection of decent stones gets pretty expensive and so does the Tormek, even the Jet is about three hundred dollars US for the basic unit and so far I haven't found a Canadian supplier for it. Lee Valley has quite a collection of water stones, probably not the cheapest place to buy but the quality is high, you will have good suppliers up in Newcastle, a specialty shop I am sure and probably not all that cheap. The methods using sand paper are cheap and apparently quite efficient but both are hand grinding and will take some patience if you have to remove any amount of steel for removing any nicks. The high speed grinders not only spray sparks which pose a fire hazard particularly for the blind although of the fires I am aware of, none were caused by a blind person, the heat can easily destroy the temper and soften the tool steel. you need to quench frequently and that makes relocating the tool on the rest a bit more challenging. I can look for more information on the scary system, I know that Larry is familiar with it and of course we have Rae who is becoming expert in the research department, maybe there already is something up there on the Site on it I haven't been there for a while.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Board stretcher.
Dale, I am not coping the trim boards, I am not that patient or good. These trim boards would not be right for coping anyway, I don't think. These weren't quarter round. These are the trim pieces called T boards, that bridge the transition from tile to wood. So they look a bit like a mushroom in cross section with a slightly domed finished top part about 2 inches wide, and a stem that runs down the bottom middle that is about a half inch wide and a half inch deep. -- Blue skies.

Finally I am very impressed with what I have seen in the new generation of slow speed wet grinders. Tormek was probably the first and remains the most expensive but now Delta and Jet have similar units quite a bit cheaper and arguably as good and maybe better. These have a 2 inch wide grinding wheel which turns relatively slowly in a bath of water and which can be finished to grind quite aggressively or finished for a much finer grind and on the other side is a leather wheel which is used with honing compound for a really rather wonderful finish. There is quite a bit of learning with these too, a number of jigs and fixtures for holding various blades from chisels to plane blades or jointer knives and even specially shaped turning chisels. A collection of decent stones gets pretty expensive and so does the Tormek, even the Jet is about three hundred dollars US for the basic unit and so far I haven't found a Canadian supplier for it. Lee Valley has quite a collection of water stones, probably not the cheapest place to buy but the quality is high, you will have good suppliers up in Newcastle, a specialty shop I am sure and probably not all that cheap. The methods using sand paper are cheap and apparently quite efficient but both are hand grinding and will take some patience if you have to remove any amount of steel for removing any nicks. The high speed grinders not only spray sparks which pose a fire hazard particularly for the blind although of the fires I am aware of, none were caused by a blind person, the heat can easily destroy the temper and soften the tool steel. you need to quench frequently and that makes relocating the tool on the rest a bit more challenging. I can look for more information on the scary system, I know that Larry is familiar with it and of course we have Rae who is becoming expert in the research department, maybe there already is something up there on the Site on it I haven't been there for a while.

[BlindHandyMan] Pipe Clamps
Guys, Keep in mind I have no idea what the hell I am talking about when it comes to that wood stuff however, something came to mind when you were discussing pipe clamps. I am not exactly certain how they are configured but let me throw something out and see if it floats. A very commonly used product in automotive fabrication is thick walled tubing. it is seamless and ranges in diameter from 1/2 to 2inch plus. It is lite, extremely strong and strait. The last stick I bought was 20feet long, 3/4inches in diameter and cost me less than a $100.00. I used it to build the rear suspension for the El camino as well as having to make some small spacer brackets for the rack and pinion steering. My thought was that you guys could take this stuff, cut it into manageable lengths, and thread the inside diameter so that you could join pieces together as needed. If I am full of Sierra hotel India tango let me know and I will crawl back under Carol's Corvette where I belong.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] sharpening tools
Carl, look on the blindhandyman text page, there are some articles there about sharpening. Unless a tool is very badly damaged you don't need power. There are a variety of stones etc. available and guides to help you hold tool blades at correct angles. Then there is the ssystem where you put fine grade sandpaper on a sheet of glass and sharpen against that. Very interesting because glass is very flat and makes sure you get a flat surface to work against which is vital. Dry grinders are a poor idea because it is too easy to get the tool too hot and detemper it.

Unless a tool is very badly damaged you don't need power. There are a variety of stones etc. available and guides to help you hold tool blades at correct angles. Then there is the ssystem where you put fine grade sandpaper on a sheet of glass and sharpen against that. Very interesting because glass is very flat and makes sure you get a flat surface to work against which is vital. Dry grinders are a poor idea because it is too easy to get the tool too hot and detemper it.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Board stretcher.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] sharpening tools
Hi, I have the Veritas Sharpening system and use it. I need sighted help to set the honing guide for a specific angle. Were I organized I'd brialle the angles for each setting and then could do it myself. I have sharpened at least a couple chistles by guessing at the angle. But, with a new chissle I would want to set it at a particular angle to save time sharpening. Once the angle is set and the blade mounted in the honing guide the rest is just back and forth until you can shave your arm. I like the feature that allows you to set a micro bevel by rotating a knob without removing the blade. The results I have had using the guide are far superior to that I have achieved freehand. This is also true for my brother who is sighted.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Pipe Clamps
Hi Larry, It might well work, just how rigid though would a four foot length of that tubing be? one doesn't want it deflecting when pressure is applied. The only other consideration is that it needs male threads on one end to screw the tightening head end and the other end slides up and down locking into place by virtue of a spring loaded toothed dog which bites into the pipe preventing it from sliding as pressure is applied at the head end. This is why black iron is usually used. Rae painted his, most do not and this too can be an issue since the iron can stain wood in the presence of moisture, either atmospheric or from glue. At about 20 bucks per four foot length though your tubing remains pretty expensive as well but it might be a bit lighter and less likely to rust.

I am not exactly certain how they are configured but let me throw something out and see if it floats. A very commonly used product in automotive fabrication is thick walled tubing. it is seamless and ranges in diameter from 1/2 to 2inch plus. It is lite, extremely strong and strait. The last stick I bought was 20feet long, 3/4inches in diameter and cost me less than a $100.00. I used it to build the rear suspension for the El camino as well as having to make some small spacer brackets for the rack and pinion steering. My thought was that you guys could take this stuff, cut it into manageable lengths, and thread the inside diameter so that you could join pieces together as needed. If I am full of Sierra hotel India tango let me know and I will crawl back under Carol's Corvette where I belong.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] sharpening tools
Thank you for this Ralph. Do you think you would be able to set the angle on a new chisel by resting it in the guide and feeling when the bevel is flat on your stone then setting the guide? Not having had one in my hands yet I have no idea if this is practical. The bevel on a plane blade is probably too thin but maybe a chisel.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] sharpening tools
The angle depends on the length of the blade protruding from the unit, and I believe that there is a scale included with the instructions. For example a one inch length, gives you a 25 degree!

Re: [BlindHandyMan] replacing water supply valves
Ah, yes manifold, I couldn't think of the proper name. Well I guess the question I have for you is how you sweated the valve. Not having sight, I wouldn't say I wouldn't try, but I'd sure want to know how it could be done so I wouldn't wind up with a leak on my hands. grin Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Apr 16, 2007, at 8:29 PM, Dale Leavens wrote: Well, the first thing you will need to do if changing the main shut- off valve is to have the water turned off at the street. After that code takes over but I had one fail several years ago, actually what happened was the Plummer over tightened the waste cap so when I released it to drain water from my system it flew off and another could not be installed because it was the male thread which was gone which left me with nothing to do but turn off the main. I was able to isolate some of the house and feed water through the outside taps and hoses to my neighbour's house. Of course it happened on a Saturday night because that was when I was doing the work. The town sent a fellow around in the morning to locate the cock at the back lane which he managed to break but fortunately in the off position. I had then to wait until Monday to get a back hoe to excavate to the water main and instal another valve out there in the lane. In the meantime the fellow who owns our local hardware store opened it Sunday morning and got me a new shut- off valve which I sweated in to replace the old.

What you do after the meter though is probably your business.

I know because i removed it to sweat it off of the damaged valve and back on the new valve. I couldn't just cut it off because I didn't have the tools to create a new flare and at that point didn't fancy buying them because I wasn't sure the municipality would pick up the cost of replacing the one in the ground and this money saving plumbing job was suddenly looking at getting very expensive.

With smaller hot water tubes there is less standing hot water in the pipe so the water runs hot sooner and less heat is lost standing in the pipe.

We have this 2 by 4 foot hole in the wall where one accesses the water meter and shutoff valves. Here's the deal, I want to shrink the hole a good bit and this would also please my wife. So what I want to do is remove the two old gate valves which aren't really leaking, but if you turn them off, they tend to drip and well they are getting a lot of settament built up on them. I figure they are gonna faile and yes they do, I had this happen in my previous home. Well the idea is to replace these with ball-valves which are nearly fail proof. So, since I don't swet pipes and not sure if I could do it or explain to my wife how to do it, I was wondering if first would it be code (I live in Maryland) or could it be up to code to use compression fittings and secondly would it be a wise idea to begin with. My other thought is while I'm thinking about all this, I may look to a pipe replacement project at some point, either a little at a time or might go all out. I'm considering PEX or some similar material and so would need to mate this with coper since I'm working from the main line into the house and the meter has a valve on either side and of course its all coper. Any thought
Re: [BlindHandyMan] replacing water supply valves
Thank you sir for that information. I'll have to start digging into this and see what it would take to get this project underway. Well I'm sure my wife will have other projects ahead, but being as this house is over 20 years old, I often wonder when she'll start developing leaks in the coper pipe.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] replacing water supply valves
Sorry, its a drywall hole with a pannel covering it. Yes, the meter etc. is on an exterior wall and its got some insulation backing it up. The meter is now one that is read via radio, but it still has an analog meter. Oddly enough, I had to loosen the meter setup and flip it over so when I go to close the wall, I can then put a pannel back over the hole. The town hired a contractor to install the meters and he didn't pay attention to how much would hang out and prevent me from putting a cover on it. I made them come out and correct the problem, but they couldn't So, the town sent the engineer and he wouldn't do much since he really couldn't cut pipe straps etc. So, after he told me off the record I could do this and adjust things and restrap, I did and problem solved. So, the end result is to reduce the hole so you can easily reach the valves, but not have this big hole, just a small access pannel deal.

[BlindHandyMan] to fret or to fretless
Yeah, the subject line says it all. I'm a bassist and recently I've gotten such wild hairs, I have done all kinds of upgrading and swapping bass guitars. Now I have this incredibly crazy idea. I want to take a five-string Fender Jazz bass, remove the frets, fill -in the empty spaces and have me a fretless. So, if anyone has done this, I'd be curious how best to remove the frets, but more importantly, what would be a good filler.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] replacing water supply valves
Do you know anything about working with drywall and plaster? Basically the best way to shrink that hole is to remove any framework around the edge of the hole, I think I would then create the framework I want for the new access hole first to be sure it is of the correct size then just add in wall framing to support that frame. For your purposes probably two lengths of 2 by 4, one up each side of the new panel frame joined by lengths across top and bottom of the panel frame. If there is more than 16 inches space between this structure and the existing wall framing you might want another vertical. You might then scab a length of strapping to bring out the edge of the existing framing member to give you something to attach the drywall patch to at the edges and depending on what is at the bottom edge of the existing drywall, slide a length of strapping half way behind it and fix with screws through the drywall. Now you have something to fix a patch to all around the outer edge. Cut and fit a patch of drywall to fill the hole, you might want to cut out the new panel opening but you could do that with a drywall saw after the patch is installed or even with one of those new spin saw router sort of tools. Screw the patch into place and get busy with tape and mud and mud and mud and sanding and dust and paint and trim out the hole and you are done.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] to fret or to fretless
scott If they were good boys and didn't use epoxy to glue the frets in, you might get a very sharp chisel the width of the frett and tap it in under an end, thus pryzing it out. It'd be nice to know what the fretts are made of, it is probbly something that'd contrast with the rosewood. Then you'd gotta clean out all the old glue before you replace the fretts with strips of rosewood that just fit. They'd probably have to be hand made and fitted exactly with a file before gluing them in. You don't wanna use epoxy or anything because you'd wreck that wonderfull rosewood texture. Or at least that's how an out of date fiddle maker's apprentice would approach the problem. tom Fowle 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 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!

Re: [BlindHandyMan] replacing water supply valves
Hi Scott, I think there is an article up on the site I wrote on how I sweat copper pipe. It takes some patience and isn't without some risk of burns but if you have reasonable ears to hear the flame and a light touch with the solder it can be done. If there isn't such an article I can probably write another one but it takes some time and I doubt I will be able to do so in the next couple of weeks. I do remember writing a rather lengthy description for this list many years ago and a couple of others for a lady who was the teaching assistant for a young lad in an school a couple of years ago, perhaps someone can let us know if there is such an article up there.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Veritas Sharpening System
The Veritas sharpening system, Item No. 05M02.10, consists of an angle-setting jig for bvevels and a precision honing guide. To set-up the system you insert of chisel into the honing guide and clamp it very lightly so you can still adjust the chisel within the guide. Then you take the chisel and insert the tip carefully into the angle-setting jig. The jig consists of a 6-inch long base with a pentagon wheel attached to one end. The whell has bevelled undersurfaces set to 15 degrees, 20, 25, 30 and 35 degrees. Choose the angle you want, say 25 degrees for a chisel. Then slide the chisel, bevel down, tight against the angle-setting jig until the the face of the tool is flush with the pentagon wheel face. When it is tight, then clamp the tool firmly in the honing guide. Now you're ready to hold the end of the blade on the sandpaper or stone and begin rolling the guide forward and back until a satisfactory bevel is formed. This honing guide can also be set to add two microbevels after you've finished with the main bevel. I use this system. The honing guide is terrific because the rolling wheel is 1 1/4 inches long which makes it easy to keep it flat on the stone or sandpaper. Also, the microbevels can be honed quickly and they make the chisels extremely sharp. The angle-setting jig is another matter. I am sighted and I have a great deal of difficulty using the jig and seeing if the chisel is flush against the bevelled face of the pentagon wheel. I can't think of a practical way for a blind woodworker to use the angle-setting jig other than by feel. To do it, have the angle-setting jig lying on a work surface with the pentagon wheel to the right and the flat surface of the base to the left. Put your right hand over the pentagon wheel and use your thumb and index finger to hold the blade firmly in the jig with the point in tight and the blade flush up against the bevelled surface on the underside of the wheel. Use your left hand thumb and index finger to slide the honing guide forward until the play has been taken out and the guide is tight against the blade. Do not exert too much pressure on the blade or it will tilt out of flush with the bevelled face of the jig. Then tighten the locking screw on top. After just doing this, I measured the distance on top of the plane iron blade from its sharp edge back to the gripping disk of the clamp. That distance was 1 7/32 inches or 31.5 millimeters for the 30-degree setting. At 25-degrees it was 1 11/16 inches or 42 millimeters. An alternative honing guide is the Ecclipse-type guide which consists of a small clamp on a threaded rod with a small 1/2-inch rolling wheel also mounted on the threaded rod. Tighten the threaded rod to loosely clamp the chisel or plane iron blade into the jig. Then measure the distance from the tip of the blade to the jig. This distance sets the angle of the bevel. The instructions say to use 30 millimeters or 1 3/16-inches for 30 degrees for a chisel and 40 millimeters or 1 5/8 inches for 25 degrees for a chisel. For a plane iron, use 38 millimeters or 1 1/2 inches for 30 degrees for a plane iron or 50 millimeters or 2 inches for 25 degrees for a plane iron. I do not understand why there is a difference for chisels and plane irons. These Ecclipse-type measurements are different from the measurements I got on the Veritas angle-setting jig and I do not understand why. From all that I have read there does not seem to be any particular magic in getting the bevel exactly at 25 degrees or 30 degrees. Close seems to be good enough. A chisel ground at 25 1/2 degrees or 26 degrees should perform nearly identically with a chisel ground at exactly 25 degrees. What is magical, however, is keeping the angle consistent once it is ground. Of course, there is a major difference between grinding and honing. Grinding is done on a grinding wheel with the purpose of setting the angle of the bevel, of grinding the bevel to a point and making the edge square to the sides. Honing is the next process carried out with fine sandpapers or oil stones or water stones. The rougher grits smooth out the scratches from the grinding so that the face of the bevel meets the back of the chisel or plane iron in an extremely thin point. The finer grits polish the bevel to remove scratches from the coarser abrasive and to bring the edge to an extremely fine edge point which makes the chisel or plane iron super sharp. -- Larry Martin Woodworking for the Blind --joining the world of blind wood workers -- Original message -- From: Dale Leavens [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for this Ralph. Do you think you would be able to set the angle on a new chisel by resting it in the guide and feeling when the bevel is flat on your stone then setting the guide? Not having had one in my hands yet I have no idea if this is practical. The bevel on a plane blade is probably too thin but
Re: [BlindHandyMan] Veritas Sharpening System
Thank you Larry! Great info! - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2007 6:59 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Veritas Sharpening System The Veritas sharpening system, Item No. 05M02.10, consists of an angle-setting jig for bvevels and a precision honing guide. To set-up the system you insert of chisel into the honing guide and clamp it very lightly so you can still adjust the chisel within the guide. Then you take the chisel and insert the tip carefully into the angle-setting jig. The jig consists of a 6-inch long base with a pentagon wheel attached to one end. The whell has bevelled undersurfaces set to 15 degrees, 20, 25, 30 and 35 degrees. Choose the angle you want, say 25 degrees for a chisel. Then slide the chisel, bevel down, tight against the angle-setting jig until the the face of the tool is flush with the pentagon wheel face. When it is tight, then clamp the tool firmly in the honing guide. Now you're ready to hold the end of the blade on the sandpaper or stone and begin rolling the guide forward and back until a satisfactory bevel is formed. This honing guide can also be set to add two microbevels after you've finished with the main bevel. I use this system. The honing guide is terrific because the rolling wheel is 1 1/4 inches long which makes it easy to keep it flat on the stone or sandpaper. Also, the microbevels can be honed quickly and they make the chisels extremely sharp. The angle-setting jig is another matter. I am sighted and I have a great deal of difficulty using the jig and seeing if the chisel is flush against the bevelled face of the pentagon wheel. I can't think of a practical way for a blind woodworker to use the angle-setting jig other than by feel. To do it, have the angle-setting jig lying on a work surface with the pentagon wheel to the right and the flat surface of the base to the left. Put your right hand over the pentagon wheel and use your thumb and index finger to hold the blade firmly in the jig with the point in tight and the blade flush up against the bevelled surface on the underside of the wheel. Use your left hand thumb and index finger to slide the honing guide forward until the play has been taken out and the guide is tight against the blade. Do not exert too much pressure on the blade or it will tilt out of flush with the bevelled face of the jig. Then tighten the locking screw on top. After just doing this, I measured the distance on top of the plane iron blade from its sharp edge back to the gripping disk of the clamp. That distance was 1 7/32 inches or 31.5 millimeters for the 30-degree setting. At 25-degrees it was 1 11/16 inches or 42 millimeters.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Drill Doctor
I have a Drill Doctor that cost about $70.00 at the local Menard's. It is extremely blind friendly in that it has a chuck-like piece that you use to hold the drill bit onto the grinding wheel; this piece has waves in the guiding shoulder to guide the bit appropriately and it also holds the drill bit at a constant depth so there's no chance of grinding excessive stock on the bit being sharpened. As for how well it sharpens; it doesn't sharpen a bit like new, but it is very much better than a fully dulled bit. There's a more expensive Drill Doctor that does an excellent sharpening job but I can't speak as to whether or not it is usable by a blind person.

Re: [SPAM] Re: [BlindHandyMan] replacing water supply valves
Hi Dan. Yes, there is a hot and cold division for the manifold. There are times when mixers are needed to limit temp for the disabled and elderly. A mixer can be put right on the block bascially. I am finding it quite blind friendly. I wiggle the pipe gently to locate center for the fitting and turn the compression ring down. I got my water softener hooked up and running today. Tomorrow I'll be running pex for the hot water till I get tired of work and save the remainder for Thursday. .bob [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] 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 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!

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Veritas Sharpening System
You're welcome! In my earlier e-mail I did not include anything on the Veritas Mark II Honing Guide which I do not have and have not used. It seems to be a souped-up version of the original Veritas sharpening system. The catalog lists the Mark II Honing Guide as Item Number 05M09.01 and the description reads: The key to consistent and fast honing is repeatability and this guide delivers it in spades. It will set angles from 15 degrees to 54 degrees and a range of back bevels from 10 degrees to 20 degrees. It can easily accomodate chisels as narrow as 1/4 inch and blades as wide as 2 7/8 inches and up to 1/2 inch thick. The blade-registration jig slides onto the guide body, centering and squaring the blade with an integral fence. The blade stop has discrete positions for preset bevel angles. Features a three position eccentric roller, allowing you to hone micro-bevels quickly and accurately with only a turn of a knob. Manufactured from die-cast zinc alloy with precision machined brass and steel par ts. For the user, this means quick, accurate sharpening and perfectly repeatable results, reducing unnecessary stone and blade wear. End of description. The photo shows the blade regstration guide to be an aluminum plate about 2 inches wide and 6 inches long. A series of lines are marked across the face of the plate indicating registration for various angles. There is a C-clamp type stop along one edge which is the registration blade stop. It tightens with a knurled knob and there are detents along the long edge for exact positioning of the stop. This feature would be very useful to blind woodworkers although you would have to know which angle corresponds to which detent. The registration jig attaches to the guide body with a knurled knob. There are two different scales for registration. A red scale is for high angles of 25, 30, 35 40, 45, 50 and 54 degrees. A yellow scale is for standard angles of 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 degrees. The red and yellow registration marks are different. For instance, the red high angle line of 40 degrees coincides with the yellow standard angle of 30 degrees. I do not know why there is this difference and do not know their definition of high angles. This registration guide seems to be much simpler to operate than the angle jig in the original system. The Mark II honing guide is an advanced version of the original honing guide described in the earlier Veritas Sharpening System e-mail. The micro-bevel sharpening echnique is amazing. There is a knob on the side of the honing guide which can be pulled out slightly to turn it to a new position. Honing is done with the knob mark in the up or 12 o'clock position. Say you are honing at 25 degrees. When finished, turn the knob to the middle or 3 o'clock position and you can quickly hone a 1 degree microbevel at 26 degrees. Next, turn the knob to the down or 6 o'clock position and quickly hone an additional 1 degree microbevel at 27 degrees. It takes only a few strokes on the stone to hone each microbevel. I think it's a fabulous technique. The honing of the microbevels goes so quickly because you are honing such a very small angle and removing just a tiny amount of steel. -- Larry Martin Woodworking for the Blind --joining the world of blind wood workers -- Original message -- From: Dan Rossi [EMAIL PROTECTED] Larry, You rock!
