Travel First Aid Kit Article

Travel first aid kits of course, are first aid kits that are small enough to bring along with you wherever you go. Any size first aid kit is useful when an emergency occurs. No matter how small the emergency, you want to be prepared, especially if you have children. It’s best to try and have a first aid kit for each one of your vehicles. I would recommend a first aid kit that is small enough to fit in your glove-comparment, under your seat, on your boat, in a backpack, or even one that fits around your waist like a fanny pack first aid kit. If you are traveling with your family, just keep the kits small enough so each person can carry their own first aid supplies. If you can keep the kits small like this, it won’t cost much to keep everyone prepared in case of an emergency. You can always buy empty cases or pouches, or use an old lunch box to fill up with your first aid supplies. Even though the lunchbox is a little big, it’s great for a vehicle first aid kit, boat first aid kit, rv first aid kit, or even as a sports first aid kit. If you’re camping or hiking, personal first aid kits or fanny pack first aid kits are the best fit for those activities. Find the first aid kit that best suits your activities and keep you and your family prepared in case of an emergency.

The following items are recommended for a travel first aid kit supply:

Tweezers and needle (for removing splinters)
Fingernail scissors
Cotton balls and/or swabs
Antiseptic soap
Moleskin in case of blisters
First aid book
Lotion for diaper rash
Teething medicine
Nasal aspirator for baby

Adult aspirin, acetaminophen or ibuprofen
Baby aspirin, acetaminophen or substitute

Antihistamine or allergy medication
Anti-diarrheal
Antacid
Cough medicine and/or throat lozenges
Petroleum jelly
Oral and rectal (for baby) thermometers
Dramamine
Anti-bacterial gel for handwashing without water
Antiseptic ointment
Insect repellent
Ipecac
Sunscreen
Ointment for insect bites and sunburn
Adhesive bandages in various sizes, adhesive tape and gauze pads
Premoistened towelettes (make your own by putting paper towels in a weak solution of mild dish soap and water)
Tissues

Merely because you love woodwork, it does not mean your workmanship is not a spare-time activity

A spare-time activity must be vested on. You would not have a difficult time doing so, as the affair is there in the first place. Hence, motivation and drive are apparently inherent as well.

Newcomers to woodworking often wonder what the necessary tools in starting up a workshop are. The solution varies from one woodworker to the next, because there's a tenacious list of required tools in the beginning. Plus, it depends upon the project.

For a good example, you travel to your nearest tool store to purchase a power tool. At present there's a diversity of manufacturers and naturally, prices differ as well. Like in any merchandise, the more expensive, and so the better the quality. Finer quality tools in woodwork have better design features and functions, in addition to a high tolerance in manufacturing, they in addition perform better.

Purchase the finest tool that you are able to afford. Start a budget on how much you're willing to spend on a specific tool. This is significant since you'll be using your tools on a frequent basis.

And if you're just starting out and you are able to only spend limited cash to establish your woodworking workshop, do not try for the absolute best then. You will be able to fall back on the ones that are relied on by most woodworkers that come in a reasonable price.

There are exclusions to the universal principle noted above. If woodworking is simply a spare-time activity you enjoy during the weekend, then you don't have to get the top-of-the-notch tools.

The key is acquiring a tool that's within your budget. But as often as possible, veer away from the cheapest tools and materials. They being cheap already tells something - these aren’t worth purchasing.

Here are the most common tools a woodworking newbie must have in his shop.

1. Electric Drill and Drill Bits - Electric drills are by far the first power tool purchased, they have so many uses besides drilling holes, there are attachments to turn them into paint mixers, sanders, screwdrivers, saws, grinders, lathes, the list goes on.

 

2. Electric Circular Saw - These can be very handy when cutting your wood pieces.  No need to break the bank on this, however.  Find one that’s easy for you to use and reliable.

3. Finishing Sander

These are used for sanding and finishing your projects. It can also be employed to smooth wood to clear out the edges.

4. Jig Saw - While not completely necessary, a good jig saw can help make your woodworking projects easier.  They can add some eye-catching detail to a piece and make cutting wood easier as well.

5. Table Saw

Comparable to the drill, this is an additional tool that you must own and invest in. Though there are a few cheap table saws simply they're not as powerful as the high-ticket ones. They do not work equally well as you desire too. Acquire a table saw with a strong motor, one that's powerful enough that it can be used time and time again. If not, the blade will drag during the course of you ripping wood. It may even burn a few of your precious designs and no woodworker would desire that. Again there are loads of plans for jigs for this work horse.

6. Router - Routers have become one of the most used tools in a workshop, possibly even more popular than a table saw. A well equipped shop will have both a plunge base and a fixed base router; it is now possible to get a combination kit where one machine has both bases.

7. Compound Miter Saw

These are portable and used to cut miters, long wood stock and moldings. A great deal easier to handle than the table saw. You will be able to find plans on the internet for a neat table for this tool.

8. Drill Press

This tool is a workhorse in the shop it can be use for drilling holes, sanding with a sanding drum attachment.

9. Biscuit Joiner

Nifty tool for joining pieces of wood together. The tool cuts pocket-sized slots in every side of the join. The biscuit is inserted and glued in between, binding the parts altogether.

10. Basic Hand Tools

Claw hammers are the most common types of hammers used for woodworking and general repairs around the home.

Screwdrivers are needed for almost every woodworking project.  Make sure you have various sizes of both Phillips head and flat head.

Wood chisels range in size from 1/4" to 2" wide in 1/8" graduations. They are available with wooden or plastic handles.

Tape measures come in a variety of widths and lengths. I would not recommend anything less than 3/4" wide for a tape over 6 feet long as they can not be extended out and remain rigid.

Clamps - Any project that is glued requires clamping to insure that the parts are bonded firmly in exactly the right position.

Finally, keep a wet / dry shop vacuum nearby so that you can quickly clean up wood shavings and dust. Keeping dust and wood particles to a minimum will reduce the risk of wood shop fires and help you breathe easier, too.

As a woodworking newcomer, you must have the best tools you are able to afford. However that also depends upon the projects that you plan on making. Prior to traveling to your closest home building provider to purchase your tools, think over what precisely you'll be constructing.

•Woodworking Hints and Tips Of the Month! October 2008

Woodworking Tip - Free woodworking plan for a Puppy Puzzle.



Woodworking Materials

Wood - 2cm x 18cm x 18cm Pine

Clear-tape

Sealer*primer*

Paint-enamel acrylic latex (color: black)

Paint pens

Sandpaper-fine

Spray-can-of-adhesive

Woodworking Tools

Scroll saw or coping saw

#9 saw blade

Power sander (optional)

Paint brushes-small-foam or bristle

Woodworking Instructions

   Use a power sander or hand sand the wood on both sides. Cover the wood on one side with the clear-tape to provide the saw blade with some lubrication as it cuts. Make a copy of the pattern.



    After making a copy, cut around the outside edge of the pattern leaving a 65mm to 1.25cm of paper around the pattern lines.

      Attach the pattern to the clear-tape with spray-adhesive.

      First, with the scroll saw, saw the outside lines of the pattern with the #9 saw blade. Next, use the scroll saw on the individual pieces by cutting on the inside lines. Remove the pattern and clear-tape.

      Sand the individual pieces with fine sandpaper to smooth any imperfections. After the wood is nice and smooth, apply the sealer primer. After the sealer primer is dry, apply two coats of enamel letting it dry between coats. Be careful not to get too much paint where the pieces join together.

Happy woodworking everyone!

Metal Hole

How do I drill a hole in my metal crawlspace door?

The problem: I have a metal(I think) crawl space door thats broken the heads of the nails used to secure it to the concrete off, thus leaving the door on the ground. I can't seem to get the broken nails out of the foundation so, my other option is to drill new holes into the door and the foundation. How do I do this?

1. Are crawlspace doors typically metal? (I have a crawlspace door and I'm assuming it's metal)
2. What kind of drillbit do I need to drill into it?
3. Does anyone have any other ideas?

Not sure if such doors are metal, but if it is rusty at all, it is steel. Most stuff put in around poured concrete foundations are steel -- which is sort of too bad. For drilling steel, you can use a regular drill bit made for metal. Not a brad point wood bit. You will want a drill that plugs in -- your battery model may not have enough muscle.

To drill into the concrete, use a masonry bit. These basically gnaw the hole into the concrete. Not difficult, I've done it plenty. Before drilling the holes, pick out your new hardware, which should include items that get pushed into the new concrete holes, and the screws go into those inserts. Made of either plastic or lead, usually. The size of what you pick out dictates the size of the hole you need to drill.

Five Things to Consider When Choosing a Three Hole Punch

If your company uses a lot of three ring binders then chances are you need a high quality three hole punch. However, there are a lot of different 3-hole punches available on the market. Every punch has its own unique set of features and its strengths and weaknesses. This article is designed to help you understand the questions you need to ask and the features you need to consider when choosing a three hole punch. Here are five things…

1. The first thing you will need to decide when choosing a three hole punch is whether you want a manual punch or an electric one. Manual punches are usually less expensive and often are built with higher quality parts. However, electric punches are easier to use and usually faster than manual punches. Ultimately, your organization will need to decide which option best fits your needs and your budget.

2. The second thing you need to decide when choosing a three hole punch is the punching capacity that you require. Small manual desktop punches are designed to punch just a few sheets at a time. Other larger punches can punch large volumes of paper at once. Depending on how much punching you need to do, you will need to decide how many pages you will need to punch per lift.

3. When choosing a three-hole punch, it is also important to decide whether you will need adjustable punching heads. Some punches will allow you to produce a three hole pattern as well as a two hole pattern. If you are punching documents with two holes for filing you might need to look for this feature. Some punches also have the ability to move the placement of the holes for your punch. This can be a handy feature if you are planning on using non standard ring binders or need to use half letter size ring binders.

4. A fourth thing to consider when choosing a three-hole punch is construction. The best punches will be made of metal and will be heavy duty. Punches that are constructed out of plastic will often fall apart over time and will break. Look for a punch that is made of steel and that has heavy duty punching dies.

5. If your organization does a lot of punching it is important to look for punch that allows you to replace the dies if they become dull. Over time, punch heads will begin to lose their sharpness. If you can’t easily replace the heads you will end up needing to buy a new punch.

As you are looking at different options for 3-hole punches you should consider these five things. More than likely you will need to find a balance between these features and your budget. However, knowing what to look for will help you choose the punch that is best suited to your needs.

Metal Hole

If it’s the first time you use lathe, it’s important for you to learn about lathe woodworking instruction. Although woodworking lathe is not a new tool in woodworking project, some people easily get hurt when using this tool. Thus, being educated about lathe woodworking instruction is important to prevent you getting hurt.

Best Way – In Person

Going to a trusted friends, family member, or even a craft club that may have a woodworking lathe is the best way to study lathe woodworking instruction. Besides, there are some community colleges present woodworking classes that you should check. Being educated to use the lathe woodworking is important if you want to save yourself from any injury.

Don’t ever nag a local woodworker (even one you have hired) to give you lathe woodworking instruction. They have enough to do, and may not have insurance to cover any possible injuries you may get on their property.

Instructional DVDs

You can get how-to DVDs for just about anything these days, including lathe woodworking instruction. Truly costly professional-grade lathes will come with their own DVDs. This will give you a general idea of what to expect and how to safely operate the lathe. It is not as good as hands-on instruction, but at least it’s better than nothing.

If you have a VCR, you might be able to find woodworking videos as well as those that may center on woodworking lathes. Although videos are not really being made anymore, you may be able to come across them in your library, woodworking supply internet site or a hardware store.

The Instructions That Come With the Tool

Lathe woodworking instruction can be certainly useful in doing your project. You might want know the direction how to use and understand the buttons to activate the lathe. There should be lots of buttons that you need to know the functions of them.

If you got your lathe used and there are no instructions with it, you can always check the Internet to find if there is a copy somewhere. Check with the company's website. They sometimes keep archives of the instruction manuals for their equipment.

If you plan to buy the second hand lathe from a garage sale or a flea market, finding the previous owner is important for you. It’s aimed that the previous owner will show you how to work it. If they do not know the way, you may end up think that they actually never want to learn any lathe woodworking instruction and they get frustrated when use it.

Thus, does the above-mentioned information still not satisfy your need in knowing about lathe woodworking instruction? Explore more the suitable information herein!

Decker Battery

Where's the best/cheapest place to get a replacement battery for a Black & Decker CV9605 dustbuster?

I've seen this item mentioned on here before, but any links within the answers didn't actually show what I was after, especially when apparently you can get a NimH battery pack for it so that it doesn't die after 14 months like my original one did, and I can't pose another question on those particular questions as they're "resolved".

Thanks in advance for anyone who can help.

The Battery will probably cost as much as just replacing the DustBuster. Buy a new one.

The Cub Cadet CC-500 BAT and the Black and Decker CMM1200 Cordless Lawn Mower Reviews

The Cub Cadet CC-500 BAT

If you're looking for an environmentally friendly electric mower you may want to check out the Cub Cadet CC-500 BAT cordless electric lawn mower. This mower is quiet and needs very little maintenance compared to a gas mower and is well built and clean running. As it is cordless it can be used away from any power outlets unlike a corded electric mower that can only be used as far away as the cord can extend. The power output of cordless models nowadays is comparable to gas powered models.

The Cub Cadet CC-500 BAT has a uniquely designed three in one deck with an upward sloping blade . This creates a cyclone effect which suspends cuttings in the air where they can be cut repeatedly to produce a fine mulch. The mulch is then ejected onto the ground where it is an excellent fertiliser for your lawn.

A 48 volt battery supplies the power and is designed for a minimal impact on the environment as well as long life. Lack of power has been a serious downfall of cordless mowers in the past but modern batteries deliver much more power and these newer models are comparable in power to gas powered mowers.

The Cub Cadet CC-500 BAT is extremely maneuverable thanks to ball bearings in the wheels which make rolling and turning much easier than many other models. The cutting height is easily adjusted with a lever and does not need individual wheel adjustments as some models do. The adjustable cutting blade gives seven different cutting heights from one inch to three and a half inches. A lock out key prevents accidentally starting the mower.

Overall we found the Cub Cadet CC-500 BAT has a very efficient mulching system, good cutting power and excellent features.

Advantages

Good mulching, easy to adjust cutting height, maneuverable

Disadvantages

Bagging is less efficient than some other models

List price $449.00

The Black and Decker CMM1200

For small areas of grass that are too far away from a power outlet the Black and Decker CMM1200 is ideal. This cordless electric lawn mower is well built but with slightly lower cutting power than the Cub Cadet CC-500 BAT. It has an efficient mulching system and operates for longer than the average cordless mower on one full charge.

The disadvantage of cordless electric mowers is that the usage is limited by the charge and until recharging takes place the mower can't be used again. However if you only have a small area to mow this won't be a problem and for those looking for a more environmentally friendly mower with low maintenance the Black and Decker CMM1200 would be suitable.

The cutting path, at nineteen inches, is about average for a cordless mower and about the same as a small gas mower. it is very quiet. A big advantage over gas mowers especially if you like to do your mowing early in the morning!

The cutting limit on a full charge is stated by the manufacturer to be 15,000 square feet but independent tests found this to be lower at around 10,000 square feet. Obviously, if you are mowing long grass or thickets of weeds you can expect this to be much lower, probably about a half of this figure. Be aware that no electric mowers should be used on wet grass.
The Black and Decker CMM1200 is easily transported as it is light and compact with a fold down handle for easier storage. It copes well with shallow inclines and is well constructed as you would expect for a mower from Black and Decker. Starting is easy with a push button and the controls on the handle are easy to use. An easy to use lever is used to adjust the cutting height which varies from one and a half to three and a third inches. .

A complete charge takes about sixteen hours and a replacement battery will be needed at least every five years. A new battery is around $110 today.

Overall we found the Black and Decker CMM1200 to be well built and efficient and very quiet.

Advantages

quiet in operation, well constructed and durable

Disadvantages

Limited battery power, only suitable for smaller lawns

List Price: $474.99
