Phone Privacy ?

LOML and I both wear hearing aids and have a little difficulty using the telephone. The great state of Ca. has a service that will provide phones for hearing impaired people. Our audiologist suggested these phones would be louder, clearer, really nice, and work very well for us, so we requested one. They do work very well.

A few minutes work to install and we begin using it, works well. Later when I got around to the instruction book it seems this phone has a privacy clause, not an agreement like a TOS would have. This a Clarity model c4220+ the privacy clause states that it will automatically send info back to Clarity "..... including software and hardware settings, phonebook,caller ID history and other information you have stored on your device ,it's a long list. It continues on with who they will will share it with, it's a long list to, but includes their agents and suppliers. I have disconnected the phone and checking other options. Beware of privacy clauses. Does anybody have a suggestion for a good phone for hard of hearing people?

Phone Privacy ?

Massive Shop Size Reduction -Many High Quality Power Tools - Great Prices (PART 4)

Hi All,

I need to cut the size of my shop space in half and thus I am liquidating several very lightly used tools. All are in great condition and are fully accessorized with many extras included.

Where possible I have added pix of current replacement cost from the source. I am also posting pix of items along with ID plates for easy reference. You are also welcome to visit and check these out in person and verify for yourself that they will fit your needs - all are set up and ready to use. My shop is totally air conditioned and heated so tools have been climate controlled since new.

The tools are located in Northern, VA fairly close to Washington, DC; most parts of MD, and not to far from DE or the majority of VA. I'm even a reasonable drive from the Carolinas, PA, NJ and NY depending on which part of the state you live in.

Please note that because of some surgery I am still recovering from I have a limited ability to help you with moving the tools out of the shop and into your truck. However, I will do the best I can - and I have dollies, etc on hand. Most are on wheeled bases and my basement is a "walk-out" at ground level with double doors so no steps to hassle with.

Thanks for looking - here is what is available:

ULTIMATE PNEUMATIC DRUM SANDING SYSTEM (Great For Intarsia)

This is actually two complete drum sanding systems - the one on top offers variable speed and miniature drums for smaller pieces (cost of this one new, approx $420 is what is shown on pictured invoice). The one on the bottom is no longer sold and is very hard to come by with equivalent new units plus drums easily costing $1500 to $2500. The bottom (Sand-Puff) unit has been rebuilt and is in perfect running condition. It is mounted on a wood stand with integrated adjustable dust collection. Shaft holds two interchangeable drums. Drums have been rebuilt or replaced. Extra drums are included (one of these is a different spindle size). Many, many extra sandpaper sleeves are also included. Drive belt is new. Replacement cost would easily exceed $2000 for both of these units together. Entire set up (both units) with all the accessories and extras offered at just $950!

(Note: I may consider selling either of the two units separately if desired, please feel free to PM me).

JET 6" LONG BED JOINTER WITH EXTRA BLADES + SETTING GAUGE IN VIRTUALLY UNUSED LIKE NEW CONDITION

Compare to $919 from Amazon (without the $40 gauge or extra blades) - offered at just $550!

Please see previous and following posts for more tools (this is post 4)

Chippendale Chair in Mahogany

I didn't intend to take on such an advanced project just yet, but when one of the more experienced members of my local SAPFM chapter offered to lead a monthly chair-building group in his workshop, I couldn't resist the opportunity. Fred Walker provided the plans and photographs from an original Benjamin Randolph chair (circa 1760) that he had measured at the Philadelphia Museum of Art under Gene Langdon's guidance, and gave tutorials on its construction during our monthly meetings. This has been a great project for me, because I'm made significant leaps forward in just about all of the skill areas (joinery, shaping, carving, etc.). I do need to work more on my finishing skills...specifically on color matching (the mahogany I used was not all from the same tree, and I'm not satisfied with the color matching I achieved). But I suspect it won't be the last chair I do...when I bought the fabric I bought enough to cover a future matching chair. Below is a photo of the completed (first) chair, in place in our new home.

Hand equivalent of wooden lathe?

[unable to retrieve full-text content]

I'm thinking of starting out with hand tools, but how do you "turn" something by hand? In another words what is the manual method of what a lathe does?

PowerCut4311

My new eBay purchased laser (I'll update on that purchase soon) came with software called PowerCut4311, I had never heard of it before and first look I thought it was quite basic and didn't have the (limited) functions that I was used to with LaserWorks 6. The manual went into the basics, but there is a lot more to it than the manual explains and it turns out to be pretty good.

Somethings though need adusting, just as corners, on a corner, the laser slows right down to around 8mm a second when the straight line cutting speed is 45mms. So I need to be able to speed up the corner travel a bit or turn the laser power down, to make any changes I need a password, so does anyone know what it is?
