Show"N"Tell ( Your Machines) / Re: Denford ORAC lathe retrofit.

I'm in the same boat, after probably 3 years I have finally got around to revisiting my lathe, heres how I explain it:
Does a football player have to play in the NFL to be "finished" with his chosen interest? the obvious answer is no, a football player can "enjoy" playing at any level they wish, they do not ever need to "finish" to have football as a valid pursuit.

I enjoy working on my "stuff", it is my pursuit, I don't ever need to finish enjoying it to validate it, it is valid because I enjoy it.

Nah I don't think this is going to work, some of the files have modified names others don't.

Is there someway I can get temporary access to try and match them up, it will take a long time but for the sake of the blog I think it is worth the effort.

The file names will be the same just not the location, I was just going to match up file name for file name with the new location.

The server i kept all of my images on has been moved/shutdown, I have uploaded them all to photobucket instead, does anyone know how I can edit the posts with the new image addresses?

cheers

It allows you to offset the motor for clearance, if possible i prefer the direct couple option.
