    You must be right, Photo Bucket's always seems to altering things. Adding photos to a thread now, transferring them from the desktop leaves me with no thumbnail just the link.

  8. posting photos from photo bucket

    Has anyone had any issues posting pics from photo bucket recently? I've had no problem in the past using the direct link but now the only way I can insert an image is to uncheck the "retrieve remote file" box but then the photo is too large. Am I doing something wrong?

    I do like fabricated stainless steel but keeping mirror stainless scratch free while fabricating is a pain. I knocked this out today. In hindsight I would have fabed the cross differently, the returns of the cross were done in quarters so there is a "vertical" seam in each straight section...
  19. How to heat bend large 4" radius on 2x2' polycarbonate box corners? 1/16" thick

    I don't think that heating and bending one corner at a time will produce a good fit around your frame. Ideally you would heat the whole sheet in an oven 'till it's floppy then wrap it around a mould that is the same shape as your frame. The problem is finding an oven large enough, maybe make...
