How to Choose the Best Coping Saws

First of all, what is a coping saw? Well, a saw with teeth designed specifically to cut materials with a cross cut, or to remove material from a workpiece by cutting it in two, the cross-cut feature is important for saws to be classified as a coping saw. These saws are used mainly to perform non-ideal cross cuts, and to achieve the maximum flexibility in cutting materials without ripping or tearing the material to shreds. This saw blade is generally longer than other saws and much heavier. In most cases the saw blade is designed so that it can be set at an angle that will allow the blade to make small, straight cuts into a material without tearing the material to shreds.

How To Pick Right Coping Saws

The blades of the saws come in different lengths and sizes, and the sizes can vary widely depending on the purposes that they are being used for. Most saws will use blades of one to four inches, but the best coping saws here will have blades as long as nine or ten inches. The advantage of having a larger blade is that the material cut with them will be cut with more accuracy, because the saw has a larger and accurate sawing path. The angle of the blade is important, as well, and is dependent upon the purposes that the saw will be used for. A flat-bar frame will allow the best coping saws to be made, since the frame depth is less than three inches.

Other characteristics of the best coping saws will include the construction of the frame. The frame is constructed using a variety of different materials, including steel and aluminum, and can be made using different types of joinery such as mortise and tenon, or tongue and groove. Some frames use dowels or nails as mounting points, while others use screws or bolts. The best coping saws will be made from the best steel and materials available, but the choice will still depend on what is most important to the project.

The second most important characteristic to look for when shopping for the best coping saws is how the blade is installed. The best tools will feature a tapered diamond blade which are tapered in the middle, rather than running across the outside of the blade. Diamond tapered blades are easier to work with, which is why they are the preferred option for many builders. Many other manufacturers will offer other types of diamond or tapered blade options, but the Smithline Sl-400 is considered to be the best tool for this job.

In order to make the best cutting edges with the Smithline Sl-400, or any other law for that matter, it is necessary to have the correct blade height. This is critical because the thickness of the steel frame will affect how accurately the blade will work and what cuts can be made. A higher blade height will produce a straighter cut, but it will also use more metal. On the other hand, a lower height will produce a softer touch, but it will produce more accurate angles. Both saws are equally effective, so a combination of both is best for cutting any type of wood.

The third most important feature to look for is the ability to adjust the overall length and the frame depth of the saw. This is particularly useful for wide projects that must be finished on a surface that is not flat or level. Some other features to look for include the ability to switch from a self sharpening blade to an automatic sharpener and the ability to handle fine cutting angle adjustments. Many saws will allow you to manually set the depth of the cut as well, which is great for tricky cuts. This is especially useful if you are using the coping for interior or exterior use.

The last thing to look for when shopping for the best coping saws is whether or not the blade locks into place. The best ones will lock up tightly against the table and should not allow the blade to move in any way when the tool is used. Some models may allow the blade to be moved by pulling the handle slightly and this is to be considered only when tight, quiet and vibration-free operation is desired. Some additional blades can be used in conjunction with the locking blade. These additional blades should be purchased only if you are experienced and know how to use them.

Once you have found the perfect saw, make sure you maintain the tool properly. This is an extremely important step, as using a poorly maintained coping will not only shorten the life of your tool, but it could cause serious damage to the wood on which you make the intricate cuts. It is important that you keep the tool clean, oiled and well maintained at all times. If you take proper care of your coping, you will find that you can perform your intricate cuts for many years to come.

Top 10 restaurants in Koregaon Park Pune

I am a big foodie, which is why I love exploring different restaurants, eating joints, ice cream parlor etc. to satisfy my ever growing appetite. Since I stay in Koregaon park in Pune I have tried almost every restaurant this area has to offer. While some of them have been pathetic, some demanded a second visit. Koregaon Park is one place in Pune where you would find hundreds of restaurants. From Indian to Chinese, from Italian to continental – every cuisine, every dish is waiting to be tried by you. After having all kind of experiences I have shortlisted the “top 10 restaurant in koregaon park” that I love to visit and that should definitely be tried by foodies like me.

 

My top 10 restaurants in Koregaon Park, Pune( views are solely based on my opinion):

1) Prems – Prems is at North Main road in Koregaon Park. What I hear is that this was one of the first restaurants to start at a time when there wasn’t much in Koregaon Park. Now it stands tall and serves as a landmark. The food is good and the ambiance average. It is more like an open air restaurant. Nice crowd, good food and decent service makes it a restaurant to be tried.

2) Arthurs theme – On of the best restaurant in Koregaon park to have European food. The ambiance is not that great. It looks like a duplex flat converted into a restaurant. However if you want to try something unique you should head to this place. Lot of options in their menu. I have visited it a couple of times and the only thing I didn’t like was one dish which was prepared in green gravy. Other than that everything has been good. It is in lane 6, very close to pizza hut.

3) The great punjab – I am fan of Punjabi food and great Punjab gives me just that – awesome finger licking butter chicken with garlic naan. Even the Veg is great here. The ambiance is ok, nothing spectacular. To reach great punjab you would first need to go to lane 5 and then take 2nd left.

4) Rajput dairy – The only veg restaurant in our list. Rajput dairy is my most visited place in Koregaon Park(I stay just next to it!). They have some awesome veg dishes. If you get a chance, you must try chole masala and aloo paratha. And they have the best tea I have had in Pune. Although ambiance is pathetic( it is more like dhaba) you can always parcel the food and have it in the comfort of your home. I just wish they gave more quantity and home delivery service.

5) Malaka spice – One of my favorite restaurant in this area. They have the most romantic ambiance in our list of restaurants and great food good as well. I specially liked their menu which is creatively done. You would also see a cartoon sketch of the waiter who would be serving your table. When me and my friend visited this place their was this guy who makes sketches. He charged 500 bucks but what he gave me was truly worth treasuring. A cartoon sketch of me and my friend! Loved it!. Malaka spice is located in lane 5.

6) Koyla – The hyderabadi restaurant. You would have already guessed the dish to be tried here. Chicken biryani!! Served in a clay pot the biryani here is worth trying. We also had some chicken starters which were ok. But the maincourse was definitely better. Very gaudy ambiance which makes it look like a palace. A must visit for people who haven’t had hyderabadi cuisine. Koyla is on north main road, just where lane 7 starts.

7) Yellow chillies – If chicken biryani at Koyla is good, yellow chillies noor mehal chicken biryani is my absolute favorite. Owned by India’s star chef – Sanjeev Kapoor, yellow chillies serves the tastiest food in this area. They also have buffet which is close to 600 I guess. What is not to be tried here – Lal bhuna burg( or something like that). Yellow chillies is in lane 7.

8) Post 91 – Also located at lane 7 is another restaurant for fine dining. Post 91 has good food and a lot of variety to choose from. Their buffet is worth trying due to its large variety in desserts. Although not a perfect spot for a date, it can be ideal for group hangouts or team outings.

9) Adda at hotel O – Perfect restaurant to go for a romantic date. Full marks on ambiance and nearly full on food. The best part is that your table and chair would be kept in shallow water so you can have your feet submersed in water. Since it is at the top floor, you can have a clear view of nearby areas. A bit on the expensive side(they charge 1000 for a person), but you gotta visit it at least once. Hotel O is at north main road, next to german bakery.

10) Indijoe – The famous Italian food chain is at Jewel Square Mall, next to Taj Vivanta. If you like italian food it can be ideal place to have a dinner filled with exquisite dishes! Scores high on food and average on ambiance. It is also somewhat crowded so if you are looking for a romantic time this might not be the best place to go. But with friends and family this place could be your favorite!

I am sure you must have visited most of the above restaurants, if there is one that you haven’t, you must go now. And do tell us which are you favorite restaurants in Koregaon park so that I might give it a shot as well.

This article will give you tips and hints that will help you get the most use out of your iphone. Read on to find out how to utilize your iphone effectively and easily.

TIP! You can have a better iPhone browsing experience by using a bigger keyboard. However, you do not have to purchase a larger keyboard.

Dry out your wet iphone with uncooked white rice. There has been many a person who accidentally dropped their phone into water – whether it be a puddle or even the toilet. Wipe off your iphone and then place it into a rice-filled bag. After a number of hours, or overnight, your phone should be dry.

TIP! Your iPhone can help you get from one place to another. The map feature can help you find the nearest gas station or navigate an unfamiliar area.

Conserve the battery by reducing your iPhone’s brightness level. To change brightness levels, simply go to iphone settings. At a lower brightness, you’ll find your iphone lasts for a lot longer. This is especially helpful if you know you are going to go a long time between charges.

TIP! It is possible to create an app from your commonly used sites. First, navigate to the web page.

While you are using the Internet on your iphone, phone calls are just one touch away. For example, you may want to find a local dry cleaner. When you locate the phone number of the cleaners, you don’t need to switch over to the phone component of your iphone. Just tap on the number and you will be instantly connected to the business you want to contact.

TIP! To save time, do not always click the “X” button when the AutoCorrect function erroneously changes your word. Just tap the screen.

As you browse webpages, scrolling with a single finger or two fingers is an option. If the webpage is divided into boxes, scrolling with only one finger will allow you to scroll through one box at a time. Use two fingers to scroll though entire pages of continuous text.

SUGGESTION BOX

TIP! Privacy comes into play when using Siri. Apple keeps recordings of almost all communication with Siri on its own server.

When you’d like to write an email or type up a note, and aren’t interested in using the words your iphone is suggesting, you don’t need to press X to get rid of the suggestion box. Just tap the screen anywhere and the suggestion box will go away.

TIP! You can set your iPhone to let you know when calls or messages are coming in. There is also a feature available where you phone will flash when a call or message is received.

You can use the settings to make the iphone visually indicate when you have an incoming call or message. The LED flash of the iPhone’s camera can be used to notify you silently. From Settings, go to General and then find Accessibility. Then all you do is turn on the setting for LED Flash Alerts.

TIP! Choose a ringtone that you enjoy and won’t mind hearing multiple times each day. You can separate yourself from everyone else and get your own customizable ringtone.

If your iphone freezes up and cannot be revived by pressing Sleep/Wake button, try doing a hard reset so you can get back in working order. All you need to do is press and hold both the power and Home buttons at the same time until the phone resets. This button combo will cause the phone to shut down and restart, which should get your phone back to working order.

TIP! As you probably know, you can set reminders to start at certain times. In addition to these reminders you also have the ability to set up location-based reminders.

If you happen to accidentally drop the iphone in water, you should not try turning it on right away. Dry off the phone and let it sit overnight. Turning on a wet phone is likely to short-circuit it, ruining it permanently.

TIP! Every so often you will be using the iPhone when all of a sudden you get interrupted with notification. Chances are you’ll want to ignore the notice and finish your task.

As you can see by the powerful tips above, you can learn to use the iphone the way it was meant to be used. With so many new apps that are coming out, people are usually never aware of the many possibilities that the iphone can give them.

Top Secrets Exposed for Dating Singles

Etiquette is a voluminous subject. There are many good books on etiquette, as well as the
etiquette of dating in specific. A few pointers are in order here, however. The rules of etiquette in dating have changed somewhat in recent years. However, since the male usually still does the driving, he should open the car door for his date. This is a little nicety that contributes much to the overall atmosphere during the date. When the two arrive at their destination, he should open the door for his date again.

When the evening is over, the man should see the lady to the door. It is not enough to simply drive up to her house and open the car door for her. He should walk her up to the door of her home and see that she is safely inside before he leaves. This gives the lady the feeling of being protected. Further, the man should hold open the doors of restaurants and other establishments for the lady as well as help her with her chair when she is seated, unless she shows a desire to do these things for herself.

 

“Should I kiss on the first date?” You didn’t think I would skip over this question, did you? The answer is no. The most mistaken idea among young people is that a goodnight kiss is mandatory. When reduced to such a common level, the kiss loses all depth of meaning. The guy is requesting a privilege he has not earned. The lady is indicating that her kisses are not worth much. The kiss should be an indication of a special bond between two people.

Developing Luna #1 – Announcing Luna

A while ago, I posted a tweet on Twitter, showing you guys my desktop wallpaper. I announced that something was “coming soon”. That was, perhaps, a little bit too optimistic. Anyway, I think regular visitors are familiar with the name “Luna”. It has been a codename for a while here, first planned for ModernBB 2.5, then for 3.0, then a complete rewrite and start from scratch, then back to 4.0 and then to 3.5. Anyway, it didn’t stay at 3.5, as it is now, again, the codename for version 4.0. Or 5.0, it depends how long development will take. Through we are also considering to go back to 1.0. That’s why Luna is currently developed in the 0.x-branch.

And today, I’m happy to announce that we are working on the next generation of ModernBB, named Luna. Before we get started about this – you’re about to read an awful long text about this project – I want to say that we will keep working on ModernBB 3.x. Our recent release, ModernBB 3.4 is prove of that , through most of our attention will start going to Luna from today on. We’ve still planned some updates for ModernBB 3.x, so stay tuned on that, more information will follow.

Hit it
So, lets kick of the future! Luna will be a major update. This means that the whole codebase will be changed, so will the interface, both Mainstage as Backstage. We will not use the current Random-styles and Aurore 5 for those 2 components respectively. The good news, however, is that Luna will be able to understand your ModernBB 3.x database. Or much of it. Luna will require some serious changes to the database., and because of this, we will only support upgrading to Luna from the latest version of ModernBB 3. This is currently ModernBB 3.4.1, but can Always change, of course.

Luna will provide you and your forum’s users a brand new experience, focused on communication and social interaction. And this is kind of the reason I post this here today. On the following part, we want some feedback. Luna will not use the concept of “categories, forums, topics, posts” anymore. Instead, the index will provide you and your users an overview of threads from all sections (threads are the replacement for topics, sections for forums). Threads will be labeled with a nice colorful label to show from what section they come. Clicking on a thread’s name, will bring you into this thread.

Of course, you can filter easily on a per-section base by clicking the sections name. The section and index view allow you to see which topics are closed, solved, pinned, followed by you, how many comments they have and who started the thread. The main page, will in fact contain more of a log of what’s going on on the forum. Who logged in, what’s the newest topic, what’s the newest post, etc. Sections will function close to this (but this is a feature that isn’t planned for the first Preview).

Threads will have a horizontal design by default (means: profile information above posts instead of left or right). This gives us more space to show more content, like the sections list, which will be always visible inside the index, section and thread views. The new thread view allows us to build in a new feature, “threaded subjects”, which means that posts can be nested into each other. It’s another way to quote someone without having to copy the actual text. A “threaded” view is optional, and we will allow to use the traditional view like it is today, with only one level of posts.

Profiles
Luna will provide a completely redesigned profile. For starters, we will put more focus on the content the user has created on the forum, both threads and posts in threads made by others. We will also add a nice view to follow up on the topics and posts you have starred. Luna will also provide updated personality settings, like new social networks (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) and more. We do consider the ability for other users to comment on peoples profiles.

The settings, both personality as board settings, will get a separate file in the structure of Luna. It will have an updated design, through mostly work in the same way as ModernBB 3.4 does today. The administration for the users will happen here to, and contains some new useful features.

Backstage
Once again, the Backstage will be present in Luna. Through redesigned and build from the ground up as well. We’re planning to make the Backstage a more modular setting page, allowing developers to add new abilities to it without the need to  modify the actual Luna Core. This redesign will be familiar to you, as it will be based on our website’s design (ModernBB 3.5 also has a design similar to ModernBB.be). The function of the Backstage, will not change – there isn’t much to change, it’s meant to manage, nothing more, nothing less – through we will provide new possibilities, of course.

Installation and upgrade path
The installation of Luna will be similar to that of ModernBB, through I’m now planning to make it a 3-step installation (making the database connection, making user, basic settings). If you want to upgrade from ModernBB to Luna, you’ll have to update the the latest version of ModernBB. For now, the preview supports updating from ModernBB 3.4.0, 3.4.1, 3.4.2 and 3.5-dev. This will change in the future. As soon as 3.5 is released, support for upgrading from 3.4 will be dropped. So you’ll have to be on the final version of ModernBB to upgrade to Luna.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s a lie, I’ve not been asked anything about Luna, especially not “frequently”, but I can imagine some of you wanting answers on this anyway:

Where can I download Luna?
Nowhere, you can’t. I’m currently developing Luna on my PC, away from GitHub, away from Git, for the matter.

When will you put this on Git? When can we try it out?
I’ll put it on Git (and thus GitHub) as soon as I think I’ve got something worth looking at. That will probably be the same day I release Luna Preview 1. Preview 1 is planned for late Summer 2014.

When will we get a final release?
I can’t tell you. There is a lot of work to do. Preview 1 will contain just basic features, nothing to fancy. Starting from that point, we will have to build up most of ModernBBs current abilities. When I think we’re there, I’ll release the final build.

How many development releases will there be?
I don’t know yet, through for now, I want 3 alphas out (Preview), 3 betas, 2 RCs and the final build. This can take a while, I can’t tell how much time will be put between those releases.

What about future updates for ModernBB 3 & ModernBB 1.6?
We’re planning to support ModernBB 3 after the release of Luna for another 6 months. Of course, you shouldn’t expect any feature updates anymore. As soon as Luna hits RC, we will round up our feature development in ModernBB 3. As you also know, we are currently developing an update to ModernBB 1.6, our very old – and very first – release. Version 1.6.6 is supposed to be the final release (which wasn’t planned in the first place). So don’t expect any updates at all after 1.6.6.

And Luna?
For Luna, we will add more frequently new features, we’re not out of how we’re going to do this, because the current X.Y.Z versioning would make our numbers go crazy. We’re looking into using X.YY version numbers for the future, but that will be decided later on.

Stop with that “Luna” thing, just call it “ModernBB 4″, why would we need a codename?
First of all, this isn’t ModernBB 4. Also, I like codenames for stuff. Like we had Blythe, Zoe, Odd, Mellow, Vanellope, Neon and Kate in the past, Luna is one of them too. What do I mean with “this isn’t ModernBB 4″? Well, I’m not sure if I want to keep hanging on ModernBB as a brand. Sure, the software is now known under that name, but it sounds like I had a moment of non-inspiration when I thought of that name. And heck, that’s exactly the case. With other words, this major rewrite might bring a rebrand too.

Is Luna this final name, you ask? No, it isn’t. Through it has potential to become the final thing. As you know, there has been a time I wanted to rename the project to “Vanellope”, this name is now out of order for my project. Luna is for now the only candidate, so it might end up being the final name. But then again, “ModernBB 4″ is also in the running to become the final name. I guess time will tell. So will the first Preview. By then, the decision should be made.

Rebranding ModernBB: Welcome to Luna

As you might know, we’re rebranding ModernBB to Luna in our future version. And through a member on our forum spoiled it, I would like to introduce to you our new brand and logo.

So, yeah, as a reminder, and before we start, lets take a look at our current brand, ModernBB. We kicked off with “ModernBB” back in April 2013, a nice 1,5 year ago. Back then, we had this weird blue-ish color, and prety much the same wordmark we have now, just not capitalized. As ModernBB evolved, On 12 February, we departed from this blue-ish color, together with a new website, we updated our brand. It now futured the currently used “ModernBB Blue” color. And just a while ago, when moving on to ModernBB 3.3. We altered our wordmark to make the “m” and “bb” capitals. Ending up, with this:

 

Our blog headers kept using the old wordmark through. Anyway, that’s for the main logo. Our slogan, however, also changed through time. We started with “Modern. Light. Simple.” and not soon thereafter, we changed that to “Express Yourself”. A while ago, we changed this again to “You can do anything”, and we’re still going with it, and yes, Luna will use this slogan too. However, our logo, didn’t feature much inspiration. After all, it was just plain text in the Segoe UI font. Nothing more, and I did try to create some logos for it, but I never felt realy happy about them, and thus never used them.

The brand itself is another inspirationless piece of work of mine. And to say the truth, I regret ever starting of with it. I should have tought of a better brand from the start. Sure, ModernBB sounds nice and all, but like I said, its inspiration lacking and “BB” just… well… it doesn’t feel right. And thus, that’s going to end next year.

Because we’re rebranding. Our new name? Luna. Our new slogan? Nothing new, just “You can do anything”. Our new color? Luna Blue. And do we have a logo this time? Yes. And it’s already on top of this post, but here is it again:

 

Luna is a reference to the Latin name of Earths moon. And that brings us to our logo prety quickly. It’s quiet the no-brainer if you ask me. Through I’ve made a couple of different logos. One thing was certain: the color would be this kind of blue, the brand would be Luna, and the logo should be able to adapt to other colors easly. And this logo covers all of it. You’ll slowly see our new brand take over the ModernBB one. For starters, like an user on the forums pointed out, the sites live tile generated this logo instead of the usual ModernBB wordmark (this has been reverted already, through). As soon as the first preview of Luna is available (version 0.1), you’ll start to see this logo appear more often on our main site.

Our site will be trimmed down, by the way. This includes the removal of the ModernBB 3.3 docs. Information regarding Luna and more. Luna, will get its own site (somewhere on the world wide web, more later). And that’s when the real fun begins. Preview time. However, before we get to that, I just want to say that we will sillently release a pre-preview. This build will suddenly appear in the version history list under “Downloads”. And will be a preview of Preview 1. It, of course, won’t be feature completed and highly unstable. But it’s just to show what we’ve got! Also, we will soon kick off a new series of blog posts where I’ll explain new capabilities of Luna. Stay tuned!

ModernBB/Luna & Bootstrap/jQuery

oday, the Bootstrap developers released Bootstrap 3.3. This is the final major release for Bootstap 3 before moving on to Bootstrap 4. And well I would like to talk a little bit about that (a little, realy). We’re planning to bring Bootstrap 3.3.0 to the next update for ModenrBB 3.5 (version 3.5.3 that is), and obviously, to the latest Luna development version. TrentUI in the later one will be replaced with Bootstrap 3.3. However, Bootstrap announced their plans for Bootstrap 4 today too, and we’ve decided to not bring Bootstrap 4 to ModernBB. we will continue to update ModernBB with the latest version of Bootstrap 3 as long as it last. Bootstrap 4 will only be used for Luna, as it will require (according to their plans) for our project a lot of changes (we’re using panels a lot, and guess what’s going to change drasticaly).

However, the guys over at Bootstrap weren’t the only once to announce some drastic changes. The people at the jQuery Foundation announced jQuery 3, killing of jQuery 1.x and 2.x (we’re currently using 2.1). Once again, ModernBB 3.5 will not be provided with an update to this major revision, but only to jQuery 2.2 (if that ever gets released). Luna on the other hand will start using jQuery 3 as soon as it is available in the test branch.

With some luck, we will be able to include Bootstrap 4 and jQuery 3 in the final release of Luna 1.0 mid next year. If not, we might dedict a whole major update on simply upgrading to Bootstrap 4 and jQuery 3 (yes, it’s going to be that drasticaly

TEN awesome THOUSAND

So I decided to take a look at ModernBB’s ModernCount control panel (we’ve got other software besides ModernBB you know), where we track the downloads. And today I saw the counter standing on 9.984 downloads. Which is a very impressive thing, because that means that 10.000 downloads is a very close milestone.

And thus we hit that milestone. Today, 18 November 2014. 19 months after ModernBB was founded, 14 months after the first real release (ModernBB 2.0). And let’s make it clear: I couldn’t be more happy! 10.000 is quiet the archivement. It’s nothing compared to others, for instance, if WordPress would have an avarage of 10.000 downloads every day, it’s a bad day for them. We got it in 14 months together.

And I’ve got a lot to thank Coder’s Guid and Neil for this. After they started using ModernBB and made an installation tutorial about ModernBB 3.1, our donwloads made a hole in the roof. Mutliple times a week. Now, a bunch of months later, I’m still feeling the consequences of that. So for this, thanks! However, it’s not only because of CG that we got to the 10.000 of course. No, I also have to thank all the 9.998 other people (the first download was by myself, later downloads I made aren’t counted by ModernCount) that downloaded ModernBB.

I hope all of you enjoyed it so far, and I hope all of you are helping me out with the next 10.000, and let’s hope they come faster than the previous 10.000 (let’s try to do it in less then a year)! I’ll be fine if it takes as much time, but let’s hope that it doesn’t take more time. Anyway, I’m sure that the downloads will continue to grow as we are on the edge of releasing the first real Luna Preview. And in just 3 weeks, we also have our third update to ModernBB 3.5. Stay tuned!
