Part 1- Installing a Home Exhaust Fan
Written by Jude Herr   
Friday, 18 April 2008

Here's is Part 1 in the Installing a House Exhaust Fan series. Joe Przemielewski Sr., founder of American Builders of Buffalo, NY, has been a professional contractor since 1965. In this first video he describes the 10 Steps to Installing a House Fan and shows us how to complete the first few. We are installing the fan in our kitchen in lieu of a vent hood for our new gas stove. We decided on a high powered exhaust fan because it will take up less space in our small kitchen area and we can also use it as an energy efficient method of cooling in the summer. Enjoy the show!

10 Steps to installing a house fan:
1. Pick the location: Make sure the location is accessible, that it will be easy to vent through the roof, and that it's the shortest possible route.
2. Wire the power switch inside the house: recommend using a one-hour timer switch.
3. Cut the hole in the ceiling and frame for fan with 2x4's.
4. Measure and cut hole in roof for outside venting.
5. Attach the ductwork to the fan.
6. Cut the duct to fit for outside vent/roof cap.
7. Install the roof cap.
8. Seal roof cap with roofing tar.
9. Wire the fan in the attic for power: make sure you don't damage flapper on roof cap.
10. Plug in the fan and turn on the switch.

cabinetclaw_2.jpgcabinetclaw_1.jpgThese babies saved us when we were remodeling our kitchen (kitchen remodel video coming soon!).

Cabinet claws - basically, you use them to install cabinets.

Once you have your cabinets lined up, clamp the cabinets together with the Adjustable Cabinet Claw.

 

cabinetclaw_guidehole.jpgcabinetclaw_daddrill.jpgThey have a guide hole that you use to pre-drill your holes and once drilled, you simply screw the cabinet screws into place.

Adjustable's Cabinet Claws are basically used or face frame cabinet installation. They are specifically designed to tighten the cabinets together and keep them aligned so that you can drill and screw them together. The Adjustable brand Cabinet Claw can be used to install two stiles from 1-1/2 to 2" wide and up to 1-1/2" in thickness each. They have an aluminum claw alignment plate and heavy duty plastic handles.

Cost to you = $77 worth of straight, aligned cabinets and 100% less aggravation from Toolking.com

Ask Rick: The Stiletto ClawBar Nail Puller
Written by Rick Peil   
Wednesday, 16 April 2008
I recently seen on TV's Cool Tools a nail puller I belive was called a dimpler, when pulling a nail you turned it on it's side and it made an indentation in the wood around the head of the nail for easier extraction without tearing up the wood. Any help, brand where to buy thanks -Frank

">largesticlw12.jpg Frank,

Thanks for the inquiry.

Stiletto Tools makes a tool they call the "ClawBar Ti Nail Puller with the Dimpler" (TICLW12). Would I go so far as to say that it removes nails without tearing up the wood, not really! This tool works great for removing nails, however, even with the dimple, if you push the Clawbar too far onto the nail head, you could still participate in splitting and cracking. Not to mention that the dimple can be quite deep dependent upon how hard you hammer on the dimpler. Additionally, the hardness of the wood will determine how deep the depression or splitting will be. Having stated all of that, I believe it is a great tool if used properly. I would suggest you do a few trial nail pulls to determine the force needed for the dimple and subsequent pull. To help reduce the impression made by the back of the bar itself, I recommend you use a small putty knife for the bar to rest on during the pull.

Thanks for the inquiry and if you have any other questions, please feel free to give me a call at 1-800-696-8665.

Thanks again and good luck!

How to Build a 72volt Motorcycle Using Optima Batteries
Written by Jude Herr   
Wednesday, 16 April 2008

optimabattery.jpgHere is link to a great Instructable on how to build an electric motorcycle using Optima Batteries. Optima Batteries last twice as long as your average vehicle battery, even in extreme heat situations, which is why they are the battery of choice for people who drive off road vehicles, boats, tractors, and harvesters. Optima batteries have an extended shelf life which makes them ideal for vehicles that are used seasonally. They also have a very low self-discharge rate, which means that the battery can sit unused for a long period of time and still retain a significant amount of power, enough to start a large RV, tractor, harvester and even boats that have been stored after a long winter of no use.

In this Instructable, Stryker demonstrates his process: electricbike.jpg
"This project took about 3 months of research and development (not counting waiting for parts to come in or help from a friend with the welding). All in all, it cost about $3000 to buy and build. This may take a long time to pay off in gas savings, but if you add the fun of building and all of the environmental benefits, it was well worth the effort. With a top speed of over 70 mph and 10 miles per charge, this bike is perfect for me. This instructable doesn't give you exact step by step instructions on every single thing I did, but if you have some mechanical skills and welding ability you should be okay. A little knowledge of motorcycle maintenance wouldn't hurt--but I just read the user's manual and learned as I went."
