What is wrong?

Another reason may be the "me, too" syndrome.  I see a post on how to make a carriage stop, or mount a chuck to a rotary table, and decide that it's good idea.  I make the same thing, without any significant additions or revisions, so it's kind of pointless to post pictures of what has already been shown.

I'm still learning and making stuff, just not anything new.  If I use the ideas, but don't have much to contribute, i'll keep my mouth shut.

Darren:
Ah yes, but it's the feedback that makes the original poster feel his effort was worthwhile.

Please do show and tell.... :thumbup:

Ahh but you should post up build logs even if you are making something that someone else has done. It encourages more people to get involved and post.... know what I mean?

Yes I can understand that:-

I made a vice stop based on Johns thread but as there had already been a number of posts on the same subject I contented myselve with just posting a finished pic, as an off topic on another thread.

If people think a subject as been done to death perhaps, they could do a simple post in the related thread showing their interpretation of the subject, its always usfull and interesting, to see how others go about things, and its always nice to see that you've been a help to people.

Cheers

Well, it's summer. Lot's of projects to do out doors when your working on finishing a house. Got back Monday afternoon from vacation, wife is still at there, and the lawn needed mowing, the blades of the mower had a few nice dings in it so it needed sharpening. So the last two days I spent making hay.

After I paid all the bills that had come in over the last week there isn't any left for raw stock for the hobby, espiecialy after buying new tires for the truck which came to over $500.

With the wife still at the camp I needed to make something to eat so had to do a bit of cooking, remember no money to eat out.

Today I need to gather things and load the car so I can go back to the camp tomorrow and bring her back so she can go back to work on Monday.

Now I can go into more detail if you like but I think you get the idea. I did get a chance to think a bit about my trike project while I was at the camp. I plan to do a little bit more soon.

Not all of us are retired. We have yard work to do to make the place look nice and a hobby is supposed to be an enjoyable pass time when nothing else occupies your time.

Regardds,
Bernd
