Duh! Found the insert image button... But, can't make it work! So far today, Ive made the worm, and it's axle, and trimmed up the square tube. I learned one thing, I won't be going back to the machine shop that first cut my materials... The square tube was way out of square on the cut... Had fun experimenting with the clamping kit to secure the square tube on the table. Pieces made today added to my photobucket site. Chuck in E. TN |

Hi Chuck, You are nearly there with the pics. Have one browser window open to compose your post, and another open and showing whichever Photobucket album your pics are in. Compose your post. When you get to the point where a pic is to go, click on the image button (under the I for Italic one) and {img][/img] will appear in your post, but with a square rather than a wriggly bracket at the front, and your cursor flashing in the middle. Now transfer to the Photobucket album and hover the cursor over the pic you want. Four boxes will appear below. Click on the text in the bottom IMG box, which will turn blue. Then right-click and choose the Copy option. Return your browser to your message where the cursor is still flashing between the brackets, right-click on it and choose the Paste option. That will insert the code you copied into your message, between the img and the /img. Click Preview under your message, and scroll up to the preview pane, where you should see your photo in glorious Technicolor. Scroll back down to the message pane to continue your post. It's a good idea to put a carriage return before the {img] and after the [/img]. Good Luck! 80T would be awkward on your rotary table. It would be better to choose 40, 60 or 60T, so that one turn will move things by a whole number of degrees. 80T and 4.5o might make it hard to keep track of your dial. The more teeth, the finer the resolution on the dial, but the longer it will take to crank the table round to the required position. Unless, that is, you make the worm disconnectable so you can grab the table and twist it round. Andy |

Hi Chuck; Looks like you've got most of the materials rounded up. Sometimes that's half the battle! I have a 60t gear on mine, and since it's the only one I have, I'm very used to it. A 72t is probably the easiest to use, since it gives 5° per turn of the hand wheel, but I do fine with the 60t, and wouldn't hesitate to use it again. If your photos are in Photobucket, you don't have to do anything but copy and past. You don't need to use the IMG tags, as Pbucket puts them in automatically. Check it out: When you scroll over your pics, a drop down selection will appear under each one. Click on the one that says "IMG code", then copy it, and simply paste it directly into your post. That's it. From the example above, here's what you get by just pasting that bit in: So, show us the pics! : ) Dean |

I was getting mixed up with inserting pics in posts to Yahoo groups. Chuck, I don't think a 72T gear is a standard mini-lathe part, but mini-lathe gears are metric Module 1, so you could get a 72T from a gear supplier. Andy |
