Has anyone�found a mail order source for a 3 ring  binder for the manual? I keep tearing the holes on mine, and would like to have  a real binder for my manual, but I can't find any locally, or on the internet.  If�anyone knows a source, please let me know.

 Thanx

I ordered them from Corporate Express, they have a nice  hard side 3 ring binder, and make sure to get some of the self sticking paper  re-enforcement holes�

I use standard three ring binders and fold the drawings in half.� I unfold the drawing I am working on and leave any uncompleted drawings unfolded.� Makes for easy reference when you have to jump back and forth.� I have used 1, 1.5, 2 and 3 inch binders and think the 1.5 inch works the best. But…….I still pull out pages and have to put on paper A** H*** (reinforcement rings) when I do.� It just makes it a lot easier in the binders.

It’s a bit overkill, but I took two strips of 1/8”x3/4” aluminum from the hardware store and drilled them to correspond to the holes.� I countersunk and attached #8 nutplates to one for the back and countersunk and inserted #8 screws through the front to sandwich all of the pages together.� I went this route mainly because I had so many ripped pages that I needed something to pinch and hold them together.

To reinforce the pages and prevent rip-out, run a strip of Scotch tape along the edge of the page, covering the holes.� Punch the holes again and you have a super strong edge with holes that won’t rip out.� Cost: 0.01 cents per page.

I just rip each page out (I've given up trying to keep the  holes from ripping), immediately spill some hot tea on it to give it its proper  staining, fold it up and stuff it in my briefcase so I can unfold it in the  airport and look at it seriously hoping to impress someone with my technical  acumen.� Mainly I take the page out so I can have that one page near,  beside, on top of the work at hand.� Then, once finished with it, I take it  home with me so it's near the computer and I can enter my notes and time, then  finally onto a "completed" file of other, heroically stained and mangled  pages.� War is war.� I stand on the front line between aluminum and  civilization.� You need me on that line; you want me on that line.� I  don't have the time, nor the inclination to pamper my pages.�

I store my plans in a plastic 3 ring binder like you are looking for 

which is on loan from work 



I found one at office depot here 

<http://www.officedepot.com/ddSKU.do?level=SK&id=914005&&An=text>



or at a site called www.11x17.com Here is the link to 1" 11x17 binders 

<http://11x17binders.com/store/index.php?cPath=9_17&osCsid=9db182416d177ff25f3d00b990968221>



In the shop I use a copy of my plans.  They get tossed around and the 

pages get out of order.  Every so often my daughter gets the task of 

putting them back in order.

Again, maybe overkill, but my plans (CH640) came in an aluminum binder which would be easy to make. The back is a single sheet of .050 aluminum sheet cut about 1 inch longer and wider than the drawings. The front is made up of 2 pieces of aluminum sheet with a scrap piece of hinge material riveted in so the front opens like a book. The front and back are held together with AN 3 bolts through the holes in the plans. Its tough, you don't have to fold the plans so it is easy to page back and forth between drawings, it will never let your pages rip out, and it looks cool. It would make a good practice project for riveting, counter sinking etc before doing the real thing. Alodine and priming is optional
