Solar Energy Training

www.solardave.com This is my 1st video interview with Stephanie Andelman Regional Sales & Marketing Specialist for REC Solar. This interview was taken at the SunFest in Denver nears Coors Field. SolarDave: I get a lot of requests by email about people wanting more information on Solar Energy Training, where can people go to get training in Colorado? Stephanie Andelman: So as more people understand solar and the industry grows there is obviously more demand for skilled employees and there are more people wanting to make career switches over to solar. Here today I have had 3 people come up and say, “I am a programmer in the software industry and I want to go in to solar, I am a sales person and I don’t sell anything related to solar but I have sales skills, I am a contractor and I would rather build solar than to just build big houses”. Every time we go to an event, we are here today to tell people about solar and recruit and acquire customers but have of the people we talk to are interested in a career shift. I read that this (solar) industry will grow to 2 billion dollars in the next 2 years, so there is obviously opportunity for job growth so how do you get trained? And my opinion right now is on the job training. You do it, you learn while you are doing it and in another couple of years we will have to skilled labor force. SolarDave: What about training here in Denver where can they go? Stephanie Andelman: There is I believe a Rock Rocks Community College that has a …

A Few Thoughts On Crown Molding

For the beginning woodworker, the installation of crown molding may seem a bit daunting.  Crown molding is a lot more complicated than simple joinery projects. Yes, joining crown molding takes some skill and some practice.  Even the smallest of errors is likely to be detected by anyone.  However, it is not as difficult as you may believe.  With some good techniques and the right tools you will be an expert in no time.

Perfect angles – the way to perfect crown molding.

Cutting the crown molding is the most important task.  When doing the cutting, you must be extremely accurate in angle as well as length.  The significance of angle accuracy will become more visible as the width of the molding grows.  If fitting wider molding, the slightest error in angle cut ends up in a clear continuity break when the pieces are joined.  

Just because you can easily cut a picture frame doesn’t mean you can do the same where cutting crown molding is concerned.  There are two techniques that will work in cutting your molding correctly.  A compound cut works really well if both your miter and your saw blade are set correctly.  You need to set the saw fence to the right angle to make the miter cut and can obtain a beveled cut if you tilt the saw blade.  If you want to arrange the molding down with care while doing the cutting, you will find this method most useful. 

How to calculate the perfect angle for your molding cuts:

Some basic math is required for you to make the right cuts with the compound cutting technique.  But even if you’re not good at math, you can always find a graph that corresponds to the crown molding you want.  You can even find a saw that comes with pre-set markings for ninety degree corner cuts, if you have to make a thirty-eight degree cut.  Miter cut marks are set at 31.6, whereas bevel cut marks are set at 33.9.

The “Upside Down” technique is another equally successful method employed in cutting the crown molding.  You’ll find that many carpenters with a lot of trim-cutting experience prefer this particular technique and claim it is not only the most successful, but also the least difficult.  To perform this type of cut the molding is held in the position that it will have when it is installed.  In order to achieve that, all you need to do is turn the molding upside down in such way that the ceiling rests of the saw bed can meet the molding’s edge.  Also, the fence of the saw sustaining the wall rests will need to be set right against the molding.  Once you have this in position you can make a simple 45 degree cut with the blade and the saw bed perpendicular to each other.  Adjusting angles is a much easier task thanks to this method.
