Women and Power Tools

I have to say, growing up in Buffalo, NY with a dad who was a contractor, I was quite sheltered from the fact that "most women do not use power tools". I really had no clue that there was an kind of sex discrimination in the contracting or power tool world. Naive me, all that I heard about was how my Aunt Ronny helped my dad put the roof on our house and my Aunt Marge was refinishing all the woodwork in her home.

I guess I am lucky because I was brought up thinking that as a woman, there wasn't anything I could not figure out how to fix or remodel or any power tool I could not use. When I bought my first condo, my dad brought me a suitcase full of power tools on his first visit.

My view of reality and discrimination has broadened but luckily my sense of "being able to fix anything myself or use power tools" has stayed the same. I am surprised when power tool manufacturers put out a line of power tools specially designed for women. Personally, I would never purchase a pink tool - or one to fit a woman's hand. I really just want the best quality tool for the job. There are small men who use tools.

I get it though. I have many girl friends who don't even know how to hang blinds or even own a hammer for that matter. There are many women who weren't as fortunate to have the upbringing I did, and the dad I did and did not learn how to use power tools. I have my Real Estate license in Colorado and have helped many of my single women friends purchase their first home, on their own. With more and more women owning homes, there is a definite need to cater to women in the DIY and Home Improvement field and I am all for it.

Articles like Ms. Fix-it in the Wall Street Journal state that "Home Depot has introduced "Do It Herself" clinics for women interested in learning how to use a stud finder; the classes are evidently a success since, as NPR has reported, in some locales the store is becoming known as a hot singles spot. Even schoolgirls are joining the revolution. The Girl Scouts now offer a Ms. Fix-It badge for members eager to learn how to rewire a lamp or fix a leaky toilet, and an outfit called Vermont Work for Women has introduced a summer program called Rosie's (as in Rosie the Riveter) Girls promising hands on instruction in the skilled trades."

It's these types of informative articles and the paradigm shift that is happening in our society that will change the Google search for "women and power tools" to practical.

Tips in Choosing the Right Home Power Generator

Usually, when one sets out to look for a home power generator, he ends up confused and perplexed. There are just too many home power generators nowadays that come in various shapes, sizes, models and prices coming from different manufacturers and retailers. More often than not, instead of going home with a home power generator, one ends up going home with nothing other than more confusion.

Dewalt 12 Saw

To prevent this from happening to you, make sure you cover all the tips discussed in this article.

Dewalt 12 Saw

What is the first thing that I should consider?

Since the main purpose of a home power generator is to supply electricity, the first thing you should ask yourself is the amount of electricity you usually need at home. Generally, medium-sized homes between 1000-3000 square feet will need a generator that can supply 3000-5000 watts. This will be used for emergency home power backup.

But of course, no matter how big or small your home is, it depends on how many electrical devices you have at home. To get a more definite figure on your energy consumption, you can try adding the total number and type of electrical devices that will require electricity at the same time. Typically, watt ratings are printed on the device itself so you won't have a hard time figuring it out. Afterwards, you can sum up the wattage requirements for these devices to get the overall wattage you'll require from your generator.

Other than wattage capacity, here are some more features you must consider when looking for a home power generator.

Sound

How noisy is the unit? Of course, since you will be using the electric generator at home, you do not want it to be loud and noisy. As much as possible, you would want it to function with minimal, if not zero noise so you can enjoy the comforts of your home without getting disturbed by your generator.

Fuel Supply

You will have to determine what type of fuel you're generator will be running on. There are many types of fuel available today. You can either use diesel, gas, propane or natural gas. You might also want to check out the size of the tank so you can gauge how many hours of operating time it can give you.

Portability

You might want to rearrange the furniture in your house or do some serious renovation. For this reason, you can choose a home power generator that comes with wheels, or a transport trailer if in the first place, it isn't light enough to carry by hand.

Weather Protection

If you plan to position your home power generator near your windows, consider getting one with a protected control panel. The control panel of your generator must be protected from rain, dust, and other debris.

Outlets

In order to ensure the safety of your home, ask yourself if you have enough outlets available to handle everything you need. Make sure that they are protected by a circuit breaker to prevent fire accidents from happening.

As a whole, buying a home power generator is not as puzzling as you think it is if you only know what to look for in one.

Benefits of Safety Tools in the Workplace

CLUE: It's a small piece of equipment-but it can save your business a lot of money.

Dewalt 12 Saw

Give up? It's not your lawyer, and it's not a calculator. It's a safety knife. Though nearly any business has to open a large volume of mail and packages during daily operations, too many businesses allow employees to use bare razors, or food knives, to open boxes. This is a small mistake that leads to big losses-both in accidental destruction of stock and in injury claims. In any given year, according to the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), nearly five million workers will experience injury or illness on the job, and more than half these injuries will be severe enough to send the worker home. Of these injuries, a third of them will be in the form of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Such disorders are painful for workers and costly for employers, both in lost productivity and in workers' compensation claims. For workers who handle heavy packages on a regular basis, these injuries are both especially inconvenient and especially hard to avoid.

Dewalt 12 Saw

According to the June 2005 issue of industry journal Occupational Health, the Food Marketing Institute has estimated that the grocery industry alone sustains nearly billion per year in damaged merchandise-thirty percent of which was caused by careless box cutting. Estimates of injuries due to inappropriate knife use aren't available-many workers don't report minor injuries, industry experts say-but businesses that have instituted safety-knife programs have reported huge yearly savings. According to the same Occupational Health article, a 300-store retail chain can save -10 million per year with such programs. The savings come both from reduced injury claims and from fewer incidences of damage to stock.

Without proper tools such as a safety knife, package-handlers-whether shipping and receiving or mail room workers or just ordinary folks-not only risk knife accidents (which can be deadly), but also Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), a kind of musculoskeletal disorder that results from overtaxing certain muscle groups by tensing them for excessive time periods, due to overuse or poor posture. The use of the wrong tools leads directly to such muscle strain and overuse. Box cutters are designed to minimize the use of arm and shoulder muscles. They thus increase efficiency and save time, as well as protecting workers from injury.

The challenges of modern retail, shipping and receiving, mail room, food service, and manufacturing work mount every year. With retailers (for example) typically setting aside -30,000 for each lost time injury, those little injuries can very quickly add up. New employees who do-or don't-follow knife safety rules can quickly wield as much impact on a company's bottom line as a CEO. Given these realities, no manager or small business can afford to ignore the savings that a business-wide safety knife plan makes possible.

Along with requiring workers to use safety knives, and providing each worker with a safety knife and holster, managers should require their employees to attend knife safety classes. There's no substitute for well-trained workers. It's also a good idea to keep a set of box-opening safety instructions posted near all workspaces, such as the following:

To avoid injuring yourself when opening packages, follow these simple instructions:
- Place the box on the floor, setting it at such an angle that you will not be pulling the box cutter toward you. In other words, make sure that the line of tape is horizontal, not vertical, in relation to you.
- Place your hand on the opposite side of the box.
- Rather than cutting straight across all at once, make a series of small, smooth cuts.

To work well, a safety knife needs to be mistake-proof. In other words, its safety features must be so deeply built-in that a new, untrained employee can't accidentally override them.

History of Woodworking Tools

Archaeological finds show that wood was one of the first materials that man fashioned for use. He used wood for spears, handles for stone axes, wooden bowls, coffins, chairs, animal sculptures, and hunting fishing and building. Analysis of Neanderthals stone tools show that many of these were used solely as instruments to work wood. The first wooden wheel is credited as an ancient Mesopotamian creation, dating from around 3500 B.C.

Dewalt 12 Saw

Many Egyptian drawings show them using wooden tools for hunting, fishing and warfare. Buried in the tombs are examples of the use of wood in furniture for chairs, beds, boxes, chests baskets and lamps. Common to many tombs were clothing and shoes, fine jewels, perfumes and cosmetics, games, musical instruments, writing materials, heirlooms, fine tableware made of precious metals, pottery and glass. The Egyptians invented varnish, and veneering. The metal they used first was copper, followed by bronze and then iron. Tools include Axes, adze, chisels, saws.

Dewalt 12 Saw

Chinese woodworking is said to date from Lu Ban (between 771-403BC) He invented many things - a mobile counter-weighted siege ladder, grappling hooks, a boat ram for naval warfare, lifting gear and the horse carriage. He brought the Plane, and chalk line, plus other tools to china. He is said to have defined dimensions for the construction of tables, altars and numerous other items. The use of glue-less and nail-less joinery is a tradition of China.

Planes are ancient. Basically they are a block of wood with a slot to hold a metal blade, and a wooden wedge to secure the blade, - hammer to adjust the depth and/or tighten the wedge. In fact a captive chisel or adze. The earliest plane found dates from Roman times. A plane was found in Pompeii, and the evidence from coins shows various designs were around before then The plane, along with other woodworking tools is depicted in many early paintings.

The Mary Rose a warship from the time of King Henry VIII, was built in 1503, and sank in 1545 during a battle. This was found and raised in 1982, and contained a wealth of goods from that period. A main deck cabin had eight chests of carpentry tools needed to maintain this ship - among them, mallet, drill, ruler, plane.

Woodworking represents one of the oldest civilized trades. Wood and the working of wood forms a considerable part of a countries activities. It was not until the Industrial Revolution (1760 -1830 onwards) that the efforts to mechanize the industry began to be realized. One basic fundamental change was due to James Watts invention of the steam engine in 1775. This was a great advance on the water wheel, and the first realistic motive power for operating machinery. America developed these advances and by 1850, North America was producing some of the world's best woodworking devices. The woodworking industry soon became one of the largest in America.

Like the resentment leading to riots caused by the spinning jenny in the textile industry in England, the introduction of mechanization to wood working sparked unrest. The first sawmill built in 1663 in England near London, was the site of so much rioting that it was abandoned. An attempt in 1768 to open another also failed, but due to government intervention, saw mills were establish soon afterwards.

The Circular saw was patented by Samuel Miller of Southampton in 1777, and the later major improvement of inserted teeth, was invented by Robert Eastman of Maine. There are many versions of the circular saw as a bench saw, designed for various particular jobs. Planing machines. In 1791 Sir Samuel Bentham patented new development in planing, sawing, beveling, moulding, veneer cutting, recessing and boring tools. In 1827 Malcolm Muir of Glasgow invented a machine to produce tongue and groove floor boarding in one machine. In 1847 in America, John Cumberland made many improvements to this design, but fell foul of an existing alternative patent - the battle ended finally in 1856. The feeling against the machines by the carpenters was very strong, and the mills in which these first machines were used had to be watched both day and night for several months. From around 1843 the prejudices of the workmen ceased and the demand for Planing machines increased rapidly.

A interesting ideas was used at this time, to license machines in areas, giving each mill owner the exclusive right for a given amount of territory, for which they paid a royalty.

In 1918 an air-powered hand held planing tool was developed to reduce shipbuilding labor during World War I. The air-driven cutter spun at 8000 to 15000 rpm and allowed one man to do the planing work of twenty men using manual tools. Various improvements were made to the construction and to devices to make the machines easier to adjust. Molding machines were developed from 1848 to 1860 in various designs. Mortising Machines The first practical mortising machines was made in 1807 in England and used in the Portsmouth shipyards. In 1826 A Branch of New York invented the square hollow cutters. Tenoning Machines were first invented in 1840. The Band saw This English invention of 1808 was developed by a Frenchman.
