Check out Grizzly Tools, http://grizzly.com/
I just requested a free catalog from them and got it in less than a
week. It's about an inch thick with every tool I ever seen. Looks like
a good tool source.

Kabong,
You're right in that "whining" and "free" are inextricably intertwined. My comment
about EAA being a bit of a penny-pinching (unless it's our money, then they
are dollar-pinchers) is driven by the actions, or inaction, of EAA. Here's
an organization that has $63,000,000 in assets and $50,000,000 in equity, yet
they do precious little for aviation except sponsor another Airventure to make
even more money. Most of the truly worthwhile programs, such as Young Eagles,
depends on generous volunteers, not the EAA. The FAA and ATA has been trying
to jam user fees down GA's throat...where's the EAA? Barely on the radar screen
and nothing compared to AOPA. Surely, a Non-Profit has a greater mission
in life than---generating more profits.
The activity EAA seems to engage in most consistently is giving awards to each
other. All of the EAA managers, and hanger-ons are all award winners...from EAA.
There's nothing wrong with self-promotion, as long as that's not the only
promotion that's undertaken. Yes, I still pay my EAA dues, but with a lot less
enthusiasm than 15 years ago--though I do appreciate their magazine since the
Sears catalog is no longer available. :-)

P.S. My comments were pointed at the National Organization, not the local EAA Chapters
which do a remarkable job of volunteer service to the aviation community
and general public in keeping with the original spirit and intent of EAA.
If the national org was as soundly based as the local chapters, we'd all benefit
greatly and the money would be more willingly sent.

During the Centennial of Flight I called someone in EAA and suggested that
they allow
pilots in free (at least experimentals) that year. To the best of my
knowledge, they
did not do it. I will take a local airport breakfast fly-in or the the LOE
fly-in any
day over an EAA event.

I have a $99 Ryobi benchtop bandsaw that I bought at Home Depot about
5 years ago. It works fine for everything I have used it for, which
includes woodwork and aluminum. I bought an 18-teeth/inch blade, also
at Home Depot for less than $10.00, and it cuts through aluminum like
butter. Even the thick stuff. So I expect it to take care of all my
needs for my RV project. I tried using this blade on steel and it cut
through it, but also ruined the blade. Less than $10 to replace it.
Can't complain. Lesson learned.
One of the features that I like best about it is that there is a
fitting on the bottom for my shop-vac hose. I hook up the hose and
turn on the shop-vac whenever I use it. I love it.

If it's the Harbor Freight three wheeler kind and looks like the one in
the picture here:
http://www.supercutbandsaw.com/threewheeler.html
Then you can get the 0.014 thick blades from:
http://magnate.net/index.cfm?event=showProductGroup&theID=460
They cost about $10 each, and you can even get 24 teeth per inch, which
is great for cutting aluminum. I've had great success and have rarely
had one break even though I abuse them quite a bit.

| Subject: | Aircraft on ground - need help in Denver area. |
Hi Guys & Gals,
My RV-6A stuck a valve on the way to OSH and I made an emergency landing at
an airport in Hoxie, Kansas. All went well for my first real emergency
landing and I have a new cylinder on the way to get the plane airworthy.
I have a request from a fellow RV pilot in the Denver area. I'm looking for
a ride from the Denver airport (or Front Range airport) to the Hoxie, KS
airport (1F5). I will be in Denver on Friday the 27th around noon at DEN.
I will gladly pay all expenses for a ride (car or plane) to the field in
Hoxie.
This is the only part of the repair and retreival I have yet to work out, so
any help would be appreciated.
Please contact me via email: kbob@cox.net or cell phone 602-448-3518.
Thanks everyone,
Kelly Patterson

| Subject: | Firewall shields |
Question on stainless steel firewall shields. I'm using two of them, one
covers my EGT/CHT harness (8 cables each containing two individual insulated
thermocouple wires surrounded by a yellow or brown cover of, I believe,
tefzel). The second one covers my VM-1000 sensor cables (half dozen 4
conductor with foil shield and tefzel outer cover).
The CHT/EGT hole in the stainless firewall has a plastic busing installed
and the harness fits through this bushing slightly snug and the firewall
shield just fits around the whole thing without having to squeeze the shield
against the wires.
The sensor cables make use of a hole I originally cut through the firewall
for an eye-ball control cable mount. The hole is quite large and a bushing
would still leave the harness not centered in the firewall shield and
sitting on the thin firewall shield material.
I've cleaned up the shear marks and smoothed the edges on the firewall
shields but am still a bit nervous about the thin material chaffing the
wires, especially the large sensor wire hole. Any thoughts/ideas on this?
Am I being too paranoid? Since we can no longer procure asbestos to make
gaskets to go under the shield what is everyone doing here? Are you using
some sort of grommet over the edges of the stainless shields to protect your
cables from chaffing....or? Thanks.
