  • Avoiding Metallic Surface Contamination
    Technical Tip Avoiding Metallic Surface Contamination Although we emphasize the importance of cleaning the surface prior to the application of our finishes, there are some types of surface contaminates that can be very difficult or even impossible to remove with just a light washing. The leading cause of dark discolorations appearing under any transparent finish like LIFELINE is the presence of minute metal particles imbedded in the surface of the wood. All wood contains tannic acid and when tannic acid comes to the surface it can react with these metal particles creating dark color bodies or discolorations. There is much about this process that we have yet to understand but there are some things that we do know. The first is that the application of chlorine bleach not only accelerates but in many cases initiates this process. The second is that direct sunlight intensifies the discolorations. That's why the south and west walls are typically (but not always) more prone to discolorations than the north and east walls. The third is that areas of the log that cut through heartwood are usually worse than exposed sapwood. This makes sense since heartwood contains a higher concentration of tannic acid than sapwood. The Origin of Metallic Contamination Milling, Planning and Shaping All logs and siding used in a log home go through some type of process to remove the bark, cambium and branches and to shape the wood. No matter what process is used, be it milling, planing, draw knifing or even hand hewing, some type of steel blade is involved.

  • Sharpening New Hand Tools
    est. 1978 1045 N. Highland Avenue, NE Atlanta, Georgia 30306-3592 (404) 872-4466 Store (800) 241-6748 Orders (404) 876-1941 Fax www.highlandhardware.com Tools for Woodworking A GUIDE TO SHARPENING CHISELS AND PLANE IRONS Iʼve owned my collection of hand tools for over seventeen years now, and I wouldnʼt trade them for anything. The work my chisels and planes have done for me over the years, together with the work Iʼve done on them, has made them more valuable to me than money can suggest. They make me want to do work thatʼs worthy of them, and they give me a moment of pride and pleasure every time I pick them up. Thatʼs about as much fun as woodworking gets, and I sin- cerely wish you the same rewards from your own hand tools. The fact that your tools are new means theyʼre nowhere near ready for use. This may not match your expectations, but itʼs true of nearly every hand tool (and most power tools) that you might ever acquire. Itʼs not that the tools werenʼt made well; they almost certainly were. But the job of the person in the foundry where your planes were made, for instance, is to make tools that look just like planes, and to be sure there are no fatal flaws that would keep them from working. That foundry worker doesnʼt use the planes (heʼd surely get in trouble if his supervisor caught him making shavings on the job!), and he probably isnʼt a woodworker anyway. So he has no business trying to make planes perfectly ready to use.

  • Basic Survival Skills for Aviation
    OK-06-033 BASIC SURVIVAL SKILLS FOR AVIATION OFFICE OF AEROSPACE MEDICINE CIVIL AEROSPACE MEDICAL INSTITUTE AEROMEDICAL EDUCATION DIVISION INTRODUCTION Welcome to the Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI). CAMI is part of the FAA’s Office of Aerospace Medicine (OAM). As an integral part of the OAM mission, CAMI has several responsibilities. One responsi- bility tasked to CAMI’s Aerospace Medical Education Division is to assure safety and promote aviation excellence through aeromedical education. To help ensure that this mission becomes reality, the Aerospace Medical Edu- cation Division, through the Airman Education Programs, established a one day post-crash survival course. This course is designed as an introduction to survival, providing the basic knowledge and skills for coping with various survival situations and environments. If your desire is to participate in a more extensive course than ours you will find many highly qualified alternatives, quite possibly in your local area. Because no two survival episodes are identical, there is no "PAT" answer to any one-survival question. Your instructors have extensive back- ground and training, and have conducted basic survival training for the mili- tary. If you have any questions on survival, please ask. If we don't have the answer, we will find one for you. Upon completion, you will have an opportunity to critique the course. Please take the opportunity to provide us with your thoughts con- cerning the course, instructors, training aids. This will be your best opportu- nity to express your opinion on how we might improve this course. Enjoy the course. 1 NOTES CIVIL AEROSPACE MEDICAL INSTITUTE _____________________________________________________ Director: Melchor J.
