| Subject: | Tools Nomenclature |
This may have appeared earlier, but with many of us retreating from the co
ld weather into our shops, we may need to refresh our knowledge of tools
terminology...
Fred B.
La Crosse, WI
DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat met
al bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flin
gs your beer across the room, denting the freshly painted project which yo
u had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it.
WIRE WHEEL: Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under th
e workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard ea
rned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say,
=98Oh sh =94 =98
ELECTRIC HAND DRILL: Normally used for spinning pop rivets in their holes
until you die of old age.
SKILL SAW: A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short.
PLIERS: Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of bl
ood-blisters.
BELT SANDER:An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-
up jobs into major refinishing jobs.
HACKSAW: One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board princip
le. It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and
the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future
becomes.
VICE-GRIPS: Generally used after pliers to round off bolt heads entirely.
If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense
welding heat to the palm of your hand.
OXYACETYLENE TORCH: Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable ob
jects in your shop on fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the
wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race.
TABLE SAW: A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood proj
ectiles for testing wall integrity. (And the inside of my garage can prove
it.)
HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK: Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after
you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly
under the bumper.
BAND SAW: A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut
good aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the tra
sh can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge
.
TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST: A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of
everything you forgot to disconnect.
PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER: Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or
for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your sh
irt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips scre
w heads.
STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER: A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to con
vert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering your
palms.
PRY BAR: A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket
you needed to remove in order to replace a 50=C2=A2 part.
HOSE CUTTER: A tool used to make hoses too short.
HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is use
d as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent th
e object you are trying to hit.
UTILITY KNIFE: Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard ca
rtons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents su
ch as seats, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund check
s, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes
, but only while in use.
DAMM-IT TOOL: Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage whi
le yelling =98DAMM-IT=99 at the top of your lungs. It is also,
most often, the next tool that you will need.

burning holes is fine=2C and I will probably do it=2C but keep in mind that
the shape of the grommets creates a kind of venturi that vents the area.
It might do a better job than a mere hole.

Seaplane grommets on the underside of the horizontal stab or elevator may
have the added benefit of protecting the drain holes from becoming clogged
with dirt/dust/grass/what have you....maybe.... :P

I'm not sure that there is any more of a venturi effect from seaplane
grommets. They are shielded on the forward side to prevent water from
entering, but they might not have any more venturi effect than flat
ones, and they look worse.

| Subject: | Re: Riblett 612 plans needed |
Hello,
Do you have access to a CADD program? If so here is a link to a DWG file for the 612 airfoil. http://www.davincitechnologies.com/AirfoilOptimizerStdAirfoils.htm. You can download the file and plot it out. If you don't have access to a cad program let me know and I could load the file and convert it to a PDF file which you could have printed in full size at any Staples outlet or other print shop. Let me know if I can help.
I am also building a GN-1. A project I bought that I am completing.
