Welcome to MadModders. you obviously know that we like pictures on this forum. What you have done to those machines during restoration is almost unbelievable. I am quite sure that the original builders of those machines would be well pleased with the top quality of your work. I will be watching for any further posts that you make on the forum as you continue your restoration on your newest lathe. :ddb: :ddb:

Be carefull of catching :proj: as it may interfere with your restoration work. :lol: :lol:

Cheers :beer:

Hello Don,

Thanks for the comments and the welcome. Picked up very early the preference of lot so photos - I enjoy seeing the images of what others are doing as well.

One comment - when I tried (several times) to post photos, they were rejected even though I made sure they were under the size limits (I believe it is 4048 KB per post, 4 photos per post) yet even when resized to <1,000 KB they would not post. any idea what I'm doing wrong>

Bests,
Mike

I'm not a geek on software, but it might be the format you posted in. The limit for "attaching" pictures to your post is limited. If you get a photo web site to place your photo's on and then link to them you can add more. I have a web site of my own and link to pictures that I store there.

Hello Bernd,

I know my way around computers fairly well (started with mainframes in the late 60s') and also am a member (and owner) of other forums - never had a problem posting photos. I tried one of those websites for photos (photobucket) but it was inconvenient and I'm not going that way.

The format is as standard as they come - jpg - so I doubt that's the problem. I think it may be the size is actually limited to something smaller than stated.

No problem - I'll just continue to build pdf and post them!

Best,
Mike

Hello and welcome MikeA

Nice job on the lathe, I too have a passion for restoring old machinery, I did a 1941 Southbend lathe last year and had countless hours invested as you can see from the link below.

Alas that baby went for a song on Ebay to a guy down in North Carolina.

I know you don’t like the Photobucket thing neither do I but after a while I find it just as easy to post that way. The best benefit is that you can post a lot more pics on your subject with great clarity, I prefer to look at pictures posted by people on here I see more details.

Bernd. I too had trouble about a month ago posting pictures the way Mike described, I wonder if the site has a glitch?.

All the best. Anthony.
