Well, I have photos for an update but Photobucket seems to be having a 'puter-fart and will not let me upload anything and then decides to crash my explorer. Bloody computers

I'll see what happens tomorrow but with BLAM coming up (and I still have a few things to do

) it might have to wait until next week

Bloody computers

cheers

James

James, your crane design i just lovely; can't wait to see the finished piece!

Btw, you know that you can upload your pics to your own gallery here at the LAF? Might be an alternative to that farty Photobucket ...
hint, hint ...

Aha, I forgot about that, I'll get on it later today

Cheers Admiral

'Fraid so...

But if people aren't happy about it (it is a bit of an unfair advantage) then I don't mind withdrawing my entry

cheers

James

Hey, don't withdraw. That's just a tool at your disposal and this is a contest just for fun. So make us proud, my good man!

Is it CO2 or Nd:YAG or diode? We have a 9kW CO2 monster at work, but it's a bit too expensive to run for this sort of work as we use it for research and would have to change from deposition or welding to cutting head each time.

Sorry, missed this one.

We have two, one at 60W and one at 100W, a bit piddly I'm afraid but they do the job

We can get through 20mm perspex on the 100 though which comes in handy every now and then. Bed size is only 720mm by 420mm, we were angling to get a 1m by 1.5m with a vacuum bed, but we got a router table instead

Bloody cheapskate boss!

What sort of research do you do? (surely it should be 'What sort of material cuts best for rivets'

)

cheers

The LAF Gallery upload function is a bit temperamental.
It can't cope with files bigger than 500Kb - and sometimes balks at those and just hangs...
But providing you resize each pic to under 400Kb before upload, it normally 'bulk uploads' five pics within about 30 - 40 seconds

Cheers Cap'n, I'll give it a go

Being the plonker that I am, I only seem to be able to upload as a link (please excuse my computer numptyness

)

All the tower main walls are done and the crane has a location and work has started on the boarding ramp. I think I'll have the crane arm raise and lower but not winch, it can rotate aswell. I have to give some thought as to the location of the cargo access in the tower.

The ramparts will be done separately so I can include the cannon and not have to worry about tight working spaces.

This should work for your images, mate:

(if one of our esteemed moderators gets to jimbibbly's post and fixes the image links into images for him, feel free to delete these ones!)

Nicely done so far, all looks great!

Now then my good man, how on earth did you do that

cheers

Voodoo. First, select a chicken...

No, actually it's fairly simple.

Go to your LAF gallery page(s); right-click on the image and (in Firefox, at least) select "Copy Image Location", then come back to your message window and Paste (Edit->Paste, Ctrl+V, etc) which should get you a URL directly to your image.

Now highlight this entire URL and click on the little "Image" button in the toolbar, 3rd one in from the left, after the Wikipedia "W". This will put img tags around your URL, in [ square brackets ].

Any image link surrounded by img tags will become an actual image in your post, instead of a link.

Clear as Martian mud, yes?

I must say that allthough (or because of) so many projects I see so far in the contest are awesome and inspiring, it somehow and sometimes takes the wind out of my sails to push my meek armoured train to the deadline.....
