PRESIDENT’S CORNER
I know that you were looking for this newsletter long before now, but the truth of the matter is that I have not had a lot of time to work on this. I have tried to make time to get it out but things just were not working my way. I hope to do better in the future or if someone else would like to give it a try, I will be glad to help you get started being the editor.
How can we stir the interest in this association? We would like to get more members and get the members we have to take an active interest in this association. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy seeing and being with those of you who come to the meeting and classes and make the effort to help out. I also want to get more people involved in this association.
With more people, we could get bigger and better training. Manufacturing reps would send people to train us and give away free samples and information. They like to do that only for larger groups of people. We have tried to have classes and training on a frequent basis, but we have a hard time filling a class. Why? What can we do to make it better for you the member? Let us know and we will try hard to make it happen. I am open for suggestions. See you at the meeting.
Your President, Mike Middick, CML

The Office of Vice President Tips For The Workers
Getting more power from a screwdriver, at least more grip. Sometimes we use screwdrivers that seem to slip when we think they should grab and turn the screw. From what I read the tip sometimes will hold the tip away from the bottom of the screw head, meaning that the tip slips before turning the screw. If we remove a little of the very tip of the screwdriver (removing the pointed part) the tip of the screwdriver will go in deeper and allow more torque to be used. Just need to do this before the head is stripped. Maybe a larger screwdriver would also work, or the next size up at least.
The next one is on running wire in walls or ceilings. We can use a piece of pex tubing to give us a clear point to point run. Guess it will even plow through insulation in the wall to get to the outlet. Believe the pex tubing is what they use for water runs in buildings. It is bendable enough to turn corners or start at the top on the header and go downward to the outlet hole. Once the pex is in place the rest is simple.. Run the wire and then remove the pipe and connect the wires as needed. This is something I will be trying the next time I am running wire in a wall.

The last one I will be trying next week. The caulking gun I just bought and want to use for a few years, I will spray some WD40 on the large washer that goes into the tube when working right. Anyway it always seems to get gunk all over it and is hard to remove. WD 40 makes the material release and clean. The same goes for the very front part of the gun - where the front of the tube sits, that can also be sprayed. Just use this on the ratchet style of guns - not the friction style.
Thanks,
Paul Arens

Beginner’s Corner
Keys A key is an instrument that is used to operate a lock. A typical key consists of two parts: the blade, which slides into the keyway of the lock and distinguishes between different keys, and the bow, which is left protruding so that torque can be applied by the user. The blade is usually intended to operate one specific lock or a small number of locks that are keyed alike.
Keys provide an inexpensive, though imperfect, method of access control for access to properties like buildings and vehicles. As such, keys are an essential feature of modern living in the developed world, and are common around the globe. It is common for people to carry the set of keys they need for their daily activities around with them, often linked by a key ring adorned by trinkets usually known as a keychain.
Key cutting is the primary method of key duplication: a key is fitted into a vise in a machine, with a blank attached to a parallel vise, and the original key is moved along a guide, while the blank is moved against a wheel, which cuts it. After cutting, the new key is deburred: scrubbed with a brush to remove burrs and small pieces of metal remaining on the key, which if they were not removed, would be dangerously sharp and could foul up the locks.
Different key cutting machines are becoming more or less automated, using different milling or grinding equipment, and follow the design of early 20th century key duplicators.
Key duplication is available in many retail hardware stores and of course as a service of the locksmith, though sometimes the correct key blank may not be available.
Certain keys are designed to be difficult to copy, for key control, such as High Security keys, while others are simply stamped Do Not Duplicate to advise that key control is requested, but in the US, this disclaimer has no legal weight.
