saw mill pics

hiya · July 05, 2003, 08:23:23 PM

I uploaded a pic of my mill. It took a while to get it to size.
Today I cut some white oak. Want to make a porch glider for my wife. I was almost finished with the log when the blade went every way but straight.The way it looked I must have hit something hard.Sharpen it and hit a some dirt. Quit for today.

hiya · July 05, 2003, 08:24:40 PM

Now I gotta find where that pic went.

hiya · July 05, 2003, 08:37:00 PM

I think I found it. If I can make this work

Hiya. Looks like yer mill is doing fine. Sure would like to see some more cover over them wheels. If ya push and pull yer sawhead by hand, You DEFINITELY need more cover added. I was really surprised the first time I had a blade break. I have full covers made from 3/32nds steel, and they got a few bumps and dents.

The blade will catch in the tire and start flailing, till it wads up. My son has a grip of death, and he uses a pair of Wiss sheet metal cutters, to take the bent, twisted blade out of the housing, in pieces. ;)

woodhaven · July 06, 2003, 08:35:19 AM

I have no idea what I just did.

woodhaven · July 06, 2003, 08:55:42 AM

My problem is Where is the url to the picture??

Fla._Deadheader · July 06, 2003, 09:15:16 AM

If it up-loaded, it's in the Gallery. Go there and search the latest list, by date, and when yer in, scroll down to whatever ya named it. Open that by clicking on it, and you can then click on "add to post". Nuttin to it :

;D ;D

woodhaven · July 06, 2003, 09:27:52 AM

Where is the image code ?

Tom · July 06, 2003, 09:32:25 AM

wood haven
when you click on the add to post , it puts the image code on your clipboard. That's a little hidden area in your computer that can be accessed by cntrl/c to put it on and cntrl/v to put it on your screen. The button makes it easier.

After you have put it on your clipboard, go back to your post and get in the Modify mode. That's a tag on the upper right side of your post. This will give you the updatable window again. Then put your cursor where you want the picture. Preferably up against the left border, and click "insert image code" which is the tag under the window.

woodhaven · July 06, 2003, 09:44:18 AM

I give up. I tried this about 6 months ago and I could'nt get it to work then either. Guess I will try again in 6 more. I don't use internet explorer would that make a differance?

Tom · July 06, 2003, 09:47:09 AM

Let me put something together for you to look at. give me some time.

Fla._Deadheader · July 06, 2003, 10:27:25 AM

Any idea what the file name was, when ya up-loaded it???
Tom suggested using a prefix- type thingy, in front of yer file name, Like I SHOULD use FDH.whatever.jpg. I Don't do it either, but, I SHOULD !! That would make it easier to keep yer pics grouped, so ya can find 'em easier. :

Fla._Deadheader · July 06, 2003, 10:30:53 AM

Hey, HEY, Who changed that logo thingy under the flag on my posts ????????????

woodhaven · July 06, 2003, 12:37:34 PM

I can find my picture Ok in the gallery. It's what happens next thats screwing me up. If you want to see go to the gallery and look at wht.jpg it almost at the bottom.

Fla._Deadheader · July 06, 2003, 12:56:35 PM

This the one???

woodhaven · July 06, 2003, 01:23:48 PM

Smarty Britches
How you do that ???????????
Yeh thats one of many I have.
You really didn't believe I had a mill did you.
What do think of home made?

Fla._Deadheader · July 06, 2003, 02:21:27 PM

I LIIIKE homemade.
  Try this, go back to your post and click on "modify". Then choose "Gallery" at the top of the page. Open the Gallery and find yer pic.
  Then, click on yer wht.jpg and get yer pic to appear on the LEFT screen.
   Then, click on "add pic to post" or whatever it says.
  THEN, a grey box appears. Click on OK and then close those windows until you are back at your post.
   Click in the post, somewhere, to get yer cursor to appear. Hit enter a couple times to get cursor away from text.
   Click on yellow highlighted command on right side that says" add image to post". If a bunch of stuff appears, You're IN. The pic will show , on the forum, when ya hit the "save" command.
  That may be where ya missed it. Try it. You almost had it before. ;) ;)

woodhaven · July 06, 2003, 02:59:35 PM

Now I know I'm crazy. That didn't work either. I don't get the screens or the gray box you said. I really don't think my brouser is going to work with the system. I use Netscape 7.2
If I knew the url to the picture directory I could just type it in. That would work mabe.

Fla._Deadheader · July 06, 2003, 03:20:08 PM

Never did like netscape. Here is the URL

Try typing it in.

Well, it worked. :

;D I'll send it to yer PM, then you copy and paste it to your modify post.

smwwoody · July 06, 2003, 03:23:40 PM

Here is the url take out the X's i put in to keep the pic from showing

Fla._Deadheader · July 06, 2003, 03:41:33 PM

Yeah, like that.

shopteacher · July 06, 2003, 03:57:08 PM

Wow FDH, with all those fine instructions I'd say you got the makings of a fine public school teacher. :D :D :D 8)

Fla._Deadheader · July 06, 2003, 04:30:15 PM

Fraid not. Couldn't take the stress. :D :D

Fla._Deadheader · July 06, 2003, 04:39:02 PM

Well done. 8) Now, go back to either one and click on remove !!! :D :D :D

woodhaven · July 06, 2003, 04:43:10 PM

I have it figured out. I have to enter the url with html tags.
Finally after 6 months of trying. I know several of you have tried to help me over time. No matter what I did it wouldn't work. But below this text if there isn't a picture I going outside and eat worms!!!!!

Fla._Deadheader · July 06, 2003, 04:48:32 PM

Nice to see that ya avoided yer snack. :D :D :D :D :D
NOW, we are specktin to see LOTS of them pics you were talkin about !!! ;D :D :D Glad ya got it done. ;) ;D

Jeff · July 06, 2003, 04:48:52 PM

What you use on the forum are not really html tags. They are UBBC tags. Html are not allowed to work for obvious security reasons. You did however figure it out. Good show!

woodhaven · July 06, 2003, 05:17:48 PM

A differant picture just to prove myself. I think my problem has been that I don't use frames which is needed for this to work right.
I still perfer netscape I will just do it the hard way.

Fla._Deadheader · July 06, 2003, 05:24:15 PM

Whatever works for ya. What's the story on the mill???

smwwoody · July 06, 2003, 05:33:20 PM

What kind of set works and head blocks are those?

Woody

woodhaven · July 06, 2003, 05:39:30 PM

It was a Turner I found rotten in the woods by accident. It was a lot of rusty shafts and pulleys. I gave the guy $200.00 for it as junk steel. The only things I was able to use were the carriage wheels, head blocks,set works and track. Except for those parts I designed and built the whole thing myself. It was originally mounted on 12" timbers and took up a lot more space than it does now. When I first run up on it in the woods I had no idear it was a sawmill. I read a lot of books and looked at a lot of pictures and decided I was going to build a sawmill. Now I wouldn't take something pretty for it. It took me 5 years to build. I use a 52" blade with 50 insert teeth and cut at about 4" per second. I am now building a new engine for it.
