What kind of splitter are you looking for Joe? The only manual ones I
know about have a sledge or maul involved.

Jay, or any of you. Has anybody seen one of the old Odhner Fascet
estimator's calculators that were adapted for Braille? I had one of
these, and threw it out many years ago. And, now, I want one again if I
can find it. These were operated with a crank on the right side, and
had levers you set

Wow, that's fascinating. The only old braillers I've ever used were
made by Hall. Does anybody know if the little Banks pocket braillers
are still available anywhere? I guess the note-takers we have now have
probably made them irrelevant, but they were a neat little machine.

Maybe we should band together and hire a lobbyist to fight bubble pack.

Dan, like Victor, I was thinking about you the other night while having dinner
with a group including my font of wisdom for everything heating and cooling. I
asked him about the cealed fireplace gadget you had mentioned. Specifically, I
wanted to know how you could run something that burned
Dan said:
Seattle, I paid 2 cents a kilowatt hour. In Pittsburgh I pay over 12 cents
a kilowatt hour. Electricity is just too damn expensive around here.
Wow, here in Kansas City I pay about 5.91 cents a KWH.
And I thought that was high.

Mickey, my shop, such as it is, is in my basement. My wife has her washer and
dryer down there too, so I
have to be cognizent of how much dust, sawdust mostly, I generate during
certain times. Do you think a filter like this would have a material effect on
how much sawdust winds up where it
and you still won't get all of the sawdust.

Really, the snow shovel trick is positively brilliant. Besides, women are, I've
heard, better
suited anatomically to activities like snow shoveling than are men.

I've decided to build some boxes that will be used to store CDs in a couple
cabinets we have. These will be simple, just a bottom, and four sides. I
think I want the bottoms and fronts and backs to be 3/4 inches thick.
Basically, I'm thinking about either 1x8s or 3/4 inch plywood. If I use
is about 20 years old.
