This is great info, but has anyone who is totally blind found a way
to solder pipe? I can't imagine how that could be done considering
the heat source.

I see absolutely no mention of compression connectors in this article --
compression connectors would be much more feasible for a totally blind

to add to Bill's comment about compression fittings being more blind
friendly, these new SharkBite connectors sound really nice as well.
Push to connect and they can be released as well.

Hello, Does anyone have a mini belt sander?
If so what are your comments about it?
I checked with Sears, Home Depot and Lowes' and they do not carry any.
Harbor Freight is about 40 miles away. In the past I was not greatly impressed
with them but this will not be a hard used tool.

The best tool for cutting synthetic rope is a hot soldering iron. If you
don't force it and let it melt through at its own speed it will fuse the
strands together and make a nice clean cut.
