DVD - The Last Word On Sharpening - Review

In his opening comments Christopher Schwarz states how confusing the subject of sharpening is to new woodworkers, and that so many different methods, products and options on the market make it worse. This was exactly how I felt. The ninety minutes he spends talking while hands on in this DVD have been a great addition to my other research. I’ve spent many an hour online and browsing different books on this subject. He doesn’t single out any one method, but comments on the good and bad to each method and shows techniques he uses. The intro didn’t have, which I enjoy, that good southern banjo twanging, but other than that it was a great DVD.

Cheers Chris on another great DVD !!!

MLCS Jointer knife setter - easy cheezy

NOTE: The way the jigs are setup in the picture above is incorrect! The magnets register directly onto the cutter head; they never attach to the table surface!

The reviews were pretty bad, actually, but it works as advertised. It’s made of some heavy duty type plastic with really hard-tugging rare Earth magnets. The way it works on my PM54a:
1) you have to lower the infeed table to get access to the cutter head
2) you first register the tool on the cutter surface with the blades out. There are little articulating arms with magnets on the outside; a center post with magnet that advances with the thumbscrew
3) advance the center plunger until it touches the head surface and tighten the thumbscrew. I’m not sure that the graduated scale improves this tool and I have my doubts about the accuray (but in fairness, they did both register the same reading)
4) insert your knives and gibs and flank your blade with the magnet. The center post will touch your knife edge, bringing it to the precise level of the cutter head (established earlier)
5) these little magnets are STRONG and they’ll tug your gibs up. I used a popsicle stick to keep them down beneath the cutter edge while I tightened the gibs down.

So, all in all, it works. Would I buy it again? No way. Not that it’s a bad device, it’s just that I never need to adjust my cutters more proudly (where the graduated scale excels). I let the infeed table handle the depth of cut. I subtracted a point for the plastic housing. That’s all I got, guys and girls.

Alternative Energy Argentina: Bringing Wind Power to Remote Areas

Max Seitz reports for the BBC that wind power is the most widespread renewable energy source in Argentina - and Patagonia in particular has extraordinary potential due to its strong and constant winds.

He travelled to southern Chubut province, about 890 miles south of Buenos Aires, where wind power is making life easier for a number of isolated communities

In the midst of a dark wilderness, wind-generated electricity is changing lives in the region, lighting homes and schools in remote areas.

"Patagonia provides ideal conditions, unique almost, for the development of wind power," explained Hector Mattio, Director of the Regional Centre for Wind Power (or Cree in Spanish).

"We get very strong sustained winds of 11 metres per second, while in Europe they usually only reach about nine," Mattio added.

Cree - funded by the Chubut government and located in the provincial capital Rawson, near Trelew - currently has many community projects on the go to install wind generators.

So far, more than 300 isolated rural villages in Chubut have received small wind turbines which provide them with light, communication and power for domestic electric appliances.

A 66-year-old Araucano Indian, Julian Ibanez, welcomed us to his stone-built house.

Julian owns horses and sheep but his prize possession is a three-blade, 12-metre high wind turbine with 600-watt power (the equivalent of 10 light bulbs). Like others in the region, he simply calls it the "windmill".

"They installed the windmill a while ago now and it's changed our lives. We didn't have electricity before, just a kerosene lamp and that was it; now we have light and we can listen to the radio."

Julian led me to a plain bedroom, where he had a fuse box attached to the wall and a 12-volt car battery, and explained how everything worked.

The wind turns the windmill blades and a cable takes the energy produced into the house. The fuse box controls the voltage and battery charge.

Marcos added that the electrical supply is constant - whether it comes directly from the generator or, when there is no wind, from what has been stored by the accumulator.

Some dwellings have installed an inverter, a gadget to transform a 12 volt output into 220 volts - ideal for domestic appliances.

Another inhabitant of the area, 30-year-old Adelino Cual, also an Araucano, had this to say: "We have electricity 24 hours a day, not just the little lamp we had before. We no longer have to buy kerosene or gas-oil. It works out cheaper for us."



The engineers had shown him how to work and maintain the generator and the fuse box: "They taught me, for example, how to change the fuses if they blow; I've changed them several times," he said.

And Marcos added that the idea is for those benefiting from the technology to be self-sufficient.

After visiting the hamlets around about, we made our way to the heart of Chacay Oeste, which comprises a dozen or so houses and a school-shelter which accommodates some 30 pupils from neighbouring settlements.

The school has been provided with six wind turbines, installed by Cree in the highest part of the town.

"They provide energy for our building, for the shelter and also the teachers' houses. During the school holidays, they are used to supply energy to the rest of the village".

Before turbines were installed, Chacay Oeste got its electricity from a petrol generator, the noise of which had become part of the landscape for the locals.

"The windmills have changed things a lot for the youngsters. Now they have access to computers, and teachers can educate them through television programmes."

"Now I feel I communicate more with other people. Not like before - we were a bit unsociable," Julian confessed after telling me that he regularly listens to the radio to find out what is going on, and that he really appreciates the Cree technicians' visits.

And at Cree they confirm that this is indeed what it is all about: The social impact the technology has had on the communities has helped to integrate them more.

Austin Energy Excels as #1 Green Energy Electricity Utility in America

UPDATE: This is a list of the top ten green energy programs in the United States with the latest December 2005 figures and links to these electric utilities. One of the biggest differences we can make is to switch to "green energy" - energy generated from 100% renewable sources. Florida Power & Light is a new entry into the top ten at number four. The company recently announced the construction of the largest solar array in Florida on the site of a closed landfill in Sarasota. The 1,200 photovoltaic solar panels are each about 31 inches wide and 63 inches long. The facility is to be more than 28,000 square feet, or about half the size of a football field. "We sought a location that had a ground site large enough for 250 kilowatts of photovoltaic panels," said Jeff Bartel, FP&L VP of external affairs.

If you live in a part of the United States that is not served by an electric utility on this list please see this Map of Green Energy Providers by State.

As our energy challenges are global I appreciate every assistance in compiling a similar list of renewable energy providers in other countries. Feel free to email or leave a comment.

Returning to the United States, Austin Energy has shown its commitment to renewable energy by topping the list. The U.S. Department of Energy said Austin Energy's Green Choice program sold more than 334 million hours of renewable energy last year.

More than 350 businesses in Austin get their power from renewable sources as an alternative to fossil fuels.

Austin Energy uses electricity from 61 West Texas wind turbines.

Here's the top ten green energy programs in the United States (as of December 2005).

1. Austin Energy -
areas served include Austin, Texas
green energy from Wind Power, Land Fill Gas, Small Hydro -
435 MWh/year

2. Portland General Electric (PGE) -
areas served include Portland, Oregon
green power from existing Geothermal, Wind Power, Small Hydro - 340 MWh/year

3. PacifiCorp - includes Pacific Power and Utah Power
areas served include:
Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, California, Utah, Idaho
green energy from Wind Power, Biomass, Solar Energy -
234 MWh/year

4. Florida Power & Light - green power from Biomass, Wind Power, Solar Energy - 225 MWh/year

5. Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) -
green power from Landfill Gas, Wind Power, Small Hydro, Solar Energy - 195 MWh/year

6. Xcel Energy -
areas served include: Denver,Colorado; Elkhart, Kansas; Wakefield, Michigan; Saint Paul, Minnesota; Roswell, New Mexico; Fargo, North Dakota; Boise City, Idaho; Sioux Falls, South Dakota; Amarillo, Texas; Eau Claire, Wisconsin
green electricity from Wind Power - 148 MWh/year

7. National Grid -
areas served include:
New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Nantucket
green power from Biomass, Wind Power, Small Hydro, Solar Energy - 128 MWh/year

8. Basin Electric Power Cooperative (SMUD) -
green power from Wind Power - 114 MWh/year

9. Puget Sound Energy (PSE)-
area served Washington state
green energy from Wind Power, Solar Energy, Biogas -
71 MWh/year

10. OG&E Electric Services -
area served Oklahoma
green electricity from Wind Power - 64 MWh/year

(source: NREL)

MWh/year = million kWh/year rounded down

List of Green Energy Providers by State

One of the single biggest ways we as individuals can encourage the use of alternative energy and help aid the transition to a post fossil fuel age is to buy electricity partly, or preferably completely, generated using alternative energy.

Switching your electricity utility provider may be as simple as requesting a form or filling one in online. That's exactly how I switched to 100% renewable energy (generated mainly from wind power with some solar power and small scale hydro thrown into the mix). Renewable energy options are available throughout the U.K. and in many other countries.

To find out if you can switch to renewable energy in your area look on your search engine of choice for "green energy", "green power" or "green electricity". You may also need to add your location to the search. If your local utility doesn't provide a renewable energy option yet, email or call them and ask why.

UK Economy on track to meet carbon targets and will reap long term benefits - Huhne

Press Ref: 11/104

01 December 2011

The task of rebalancing the UK economy away from carbon is well-progressed and is set to result in greater energy security and the development of new innovative technologies, the Government's Carbon Plan showed today. 

Emissions in the UK must by law be cut by at least 80% on 1990 levels by 2050.  The UK was first to set its ambition in law, with binding carbon budgets spanning successive Parliaments to give the necessary certainty to investors.   The Carbon Plan sets out progress to date and assesses cost-effective next steps.  It shows:

• that UK emissions have already been cut by more than 25% on 1990 levels.
• that with the policies already in place the economy will significantly exceed the 34% target set for the first 15 years under the Climate Change Act, and would have done so even if the recession had not occurred. 
• that meeting the fourth carbon budget of a 50% cut in emissions by the mid-2020s will not have any additional cost implications during this Parliament, but beyond that will require a decade of mass deployment of key technologies.

 

Energy and Climate Change Secretary Chris Huhne said:
 
"Publishing the Carbon Plan sends two crucial messages.
 
"To the negotiators in Durban working this week and next to make progress on a global agreement on climate change, the Carbon Plan shows the UK is walking the walk, demonstrating that it can be done and living up to our promise to show climate leadership.
 
"To the public and businesses at home, rightly worried about the cost of living and state of the economy, the Carbon Plan shows that the gradual rebalancing of our economy away from carbon is achievable and, in the long run, highly desirable.
 
"Every bit of progress we make is one more step away from import dependency, away from price volatility and from the emissions that threaten our way of life.  Our national economic interest is to be found in a cost-effective transition to low carbon, to an economy that is more resilient, innovative and efficient.”

The Carbon Plan plots out a number of plausible future scenarios.  It takes a pragmatic, ‘no regrets’ approach to sequencing the transition to low carbon, keeping as many technologies in play as possible and exploiting normal replacement cycles to avoid infrastructure or equipment becoming prematurely obsolete. 

Current decade

The task already in hand for the current decade is to complete the ‘easy wins’ insulating the remaining cavity walls and lofts through the Green Deal, improving the fuel efficiency of new cars by around a third and replacing older coal plant, primarily with gas-fired power stations and renewables.  The package of measures already in place will benefit householders - we expect bills on average to be 7% lower in 2020 than they would be if we were not pursuing energy and climate policies.  Some energy intensive industries which face international competition are being assisted by a package of specific support as set out by the Chancellor in his Autumn statement.

2020s

The Carbon Plan focuses in on viable ways of meeting the fourth carbon budget – getting to a 50% cut in emissions by the mid-2020s.  The 2020s will be the decade of mass deployment of key technologies:

• making our buildings lower carbon – up to around a half of the heat used in our buildings will need to be low carbon by 2030.
• reducing emissions from transport including through ultra-low emission vehicles – the average emissions of new cars will need to fall by at least a half by 2030.
• Decarbonising our power supply through 40-70 GW of new low carbon generating capacity including the equivalent of 3 to 5 twin reactor stations of the type recently applied for at Hinkley Point C, 3-5 times as much renewable power than currently installed and CCS technology on up to 10GW of fossil fuel plant, equivalent to fitting capture technology to generation capacity that is two and a half times the size of the UK’s largest coal-fired power station.

There are inevitable uncertainties looking at costs decades into the future, both in terms of the likely costs of low carbon technologies and the potential for fossil fuel prices to vary significantly over time.  Work is already under way to develop and demonstrate many of the necessary technologies to ensure costs can start to fall.  Based on likely scenarios and central fossil fuel price projections, our current best estimate is that the cost to the economy of meeting the fourth Carbon Budget is likely to range from a net benefit of £1 billion to a net cost of £20 billion, over the lifetime of the measures (many of which extend out well beyond the fourth carbon budget period).

2050

The Carbon Plan also considers the cost of meeting the UK’s 80% target by 2050.  A revised online 2050 Calculator allows users to compare the cost of their chosen future energy system compared to doing nothing, or to other low carbon pathways.
 
The Calculator introduces the concept of energy system cost, averaged over the 4 decades up to 2050, measured for illustrative purposes in pounds per person per year.  The energy system cost should not be confused simply with what households or businesses pay for their gas and electricity, it is the total costs associated with powering the entire economy.  It includes the costs of the infrastructure and technologies required across all sectors (everything from family cars, to gas boilers to power stations), the costs of financing that infrastructure investment over time, and the costs of fuel and maintenance to keep those infrastructure and technologies running.   

The Calculator tells us:

• that the energy system currently costs £3,700 per person per year.
• that in all scenarios - high and low carbon - costs are set to increase substantially.  If the UK decided not to do anything to tackle climate change, the energy system is likely to cost £4,682 per person per year on average through to 2050, reflecting the costs associated with remaining fossil fuel dependent. 
• that the costs of meeting the 80% carbon target could be similar to doing nothing and may be cheaper.  The cost-optimal 'MARKAL' pathway is £84/person/year cheaper and would result in a balanced electricity generation mix in 2050 with 33GW of nuclear, 45GW of renewables and 28GW of fossil fuels with CCS.  Energy use per person would be half today’s levels, around three quarters of this is due to uptake of more efficient technologies.  High fossil fuel prices would further increase the chances of making relative savings.
• that if the UK did nothing to tackle climate change, the proportion of our energy we get from imported fossil fuels will rise from around 23% in 2007 to 53% in 2020 and 88% in 2050, meaning that our spending on net imported fossil fuels would rise from around £10bn today to £32bn in 2020 to £86bn in 2050. This would leave the UK more vulnerable to fossil fuel shortages and price spikes.  However, if we meet our 80% target, then by 2050 imported fossil fuels could account for only 7-30% of our energy, at a cost of £8-24bn.

This Poor Man's Workshop #1: Ol' Grizzly's Trek Home -Bama to Sippi

“A man can dream…” -Probably a wise woman

Good Morning LJ’ers (Is that right?),

Over the past few months, I’ve been having a series of epiphanies (Maybe a “quarter life” crises). In these moments of “enlightenment”, I’ve realized that I am in no way closer to achieving any of my childhood dreams (Although being a firetruck wasn’t plausible to begin with) that I was then. Now before this starts to sound like a pity party (Which it’s far from, I hope), I’ve got to say that I’m totally okay with this self realization. In fact, it has allowed me to appreciate the things in life that have and continue to bring me joy today. These being my Faith in God, Jesus Christ, my Family, and my love for Woodworking (More like my endless hours admiring tools in Rockler Magazine wishing I had the tools to do some actual woodworking). With that being said, I’ve been dreaming about the day when I could reach over my son’s shoulder and help him out with his own list of projects like I read here on LJ. Coming from a broken home, (As many of us have, I’m almost sure) I never had the chance to bond with my dad. See he never had a shop or a garage or even worked on “projects” around the house. Why? Because I’m sure the poor man gave up on his dream upon his return from Vietnam. Now don’t get me wrong, I honor my dad’s service to this great country (The single most influential reason why I also serve this great nation today). I just simply want to set aside a portion of my life and create some long lasting memories with my son (Who has an extremly long way until he can even reach a saw). So, I digress back to Woodworking…again. After months of scouring Craigslist, On a budget closer to zero than say…zero, zero, zero, I’ve found an affordable what I’ve heard quoted as, “Centerpiece of every Woodworker’s Workshop”...that’s right ladies and gentlemen…a tablesaw! Now, this tablesaw is by far the “Caddie” of sawdust making tools (like say a sweet Jet, SawStop, or Powermatic), but it is however, a part of sawdust making history (For the looks of her, probably that old). Not only did this tool have the honor of sharing it’s trueist hours with a Parent and Sibling duo who worked and bonded together like the tighest of Dovetail Joints, but as of Wednesday, 28th of December 2011, it too will have a place in our home. Saturday, I hope to bring it 65 miles across two state borders and into…This Poor Man’s Workshop. I’ll keep ya’ll posted.

Day to day life #1: Finding Balance

Hello friends! Yesterday was relaxing and productive. Turns out that only the Brendan and Tom went with me to Coco Key?s indoor water park and we had a good time. Hunter had to reapply to college so he stayed home. I forgot how tuff water slides are on ones back, mine is very tender this morning after only three trips down the slides. We had a really good time and it could have only been better if Hunter could have come along. Maybe next time he is home.
I was able to accomplish a few things in the shop before we left yesterday; like waxing all of the equipment and lubing the table saw. During the fishing pole cabinet build I discovered that my panel sled was out of square on the left side by an 1/8 of an inch, not good. So, before dinner I was able to square it up and wax the bottom. After dinner I went to build a frame for our house numbers and half way through squaring one side of a piece of quarter sawn white oak on the jointer the board stopped moving over the blades. I stopped what I was doing and turned off the machine too found out that the throat plate on my 8? Steel City jointer was lower than the out feed table. Prior to my last build I had shimmed it with cardboard because the leveling feet are not long enough and it has worn down due to the downward pressure put on it while feeding wood through. I started making plastic shims when my wife got home from work at 8 pm and so I decided that I had done enough for the day. You can see what is waiting for me in the shop this morning.
Tom?s cousin is spending the day with us so he will be entertained while I?m in the shop. Later today the three of us will go to watch Tin Tin at the movie theater. One of my favorite cartoon charters from my youth, it will be as much for me as for them.
Thursday means that it?s date night for my wife and me. We started this after we first got married as a way for us to get alone time every week and for Tom to visit his grandparents. It usually entails us going to dinner somewhere, then going to Starbucks and talking over a cup of coffee. I would encourage everyone to find time to spend alone with your loved ones. It really makes a difference in your life.
That?s about it for today, thanks for joining me remember to try and take some time for you.
