I have used Picasa, (now on version 3).for many years. It?s a free download. I believe it is a Google owned program.Not sure.
Good picture storage, it?s easy to send photos via a link process. to individuals,groups,public etc.
What I like about Picasa is it is not complicated, I tried Photobucket when people were "raving about it" I?did not like it, too complicated for me. It always wanted to keep backing up my photo files, by default.
Each to there own I suppose. Sending links keeps the recipients systems free, as I blieve Picasa stores the links in the cloud.? Again not sure.
Not had a problem as yet sending photo?s to any Yahoo group using Picasa in the past.
Hope this helps.

Just a little more information for you to digest. My younger son Peter along with Spencer Kimpbell wrote GIMP when he was at Cal. By the way, I am using Photoshop elements on my iMac for photo stuff. John

I use GIMP to convert PDF files to images files, and then upload them
to Flickr. I don't know how hard it is to do in Windows, but it's quick
and easy in Linux.

Re: Painted Myself Into a Corner Again
I agree unless you have a boring bar with an adjustable offset
that is short enough...? With that, you could bore the large hole
to depth and then flip it.
With that much stock out there though, I'm not sure how steady
you are without the center.? Visually, I don't think I'd try the
boring bar without a steady in the mix somewhere.? It could bite
and coughup the whole mess on you.
Good luck with it....

I'm probably going with a slight variation of your

Next,
I'll flip and re-align the piece, using the now faced

The

I stay with my original suggestion
- part it, flip it, center it, drill
it, and face it.? You also have enough
of the small area to indicate and even
have finished the large area enough
that you can indicate there too.
Just to make yourself feel better,
you might want to indicate the large
end, then take an inside mike and
measure the finished area to the
ways.? If it's too far for your mike,
a 123 block should bring you to a test
spot.
However, dialing in the small area
in your 4 jaw as you normally would,
then checking the large end should do
it.? If both ends indicate, they are

Agree !? Bring on the moot point! Yahoo groups are today a ghost of what they once were, they are no longer the focus of spammers as they once were. Precisely my point. We are still defending a position that has not been under (significant) attack for quite a while... need to look at present reality instead of clinging to old fears. This group's longevity is peculiar in that the subject matter makes it specific to older folks, enhanced resistance to change. Ever wonder what this group's median age would be? Not that I'm suggesting a poll. Yahoo files only require membership if the group is not set to public, which Pics-n-files is, no sweat there.

I've had a Flickr account for many years, and use it to put photos whose links I share with various groups. Much better than having to wait for administrators of whatever group to decide whether a particular photo is worthy to be posted.? It is unfortunate that Flickr can't share pdfs also, but it's very simple to use and Drive (which can share pdfs) is where I store some things that are personal and I'd have to make decisions on whether to share this or that.?

Re: Painted Myself Into a Corner Again
Mount the DI on the carriage, set up to indicate horizontally. Once you've got it turning true near the chuck, move the carriage to the end of the piece. If there's an error, slightly loosen the chuck & push on the end to remove the error, then, retighten the chuck. You'll also have to rotate the chuck 90¡ã to check the other axis. It's an iterative process - with a little fooling around, you can get it trued up in all directions.
Since you were able to center drill it, you might be able to use a center drill to deepen the existing hole. You'll have to peck at it, since center drills don't have much room to clear chips.

Hi grop ? I have now finished my Z-lock project for my LMS 4700 Mill. After advice from you I have done it in 2 ways. ? First an idea from Mikes Workshop Sitat: The original quill locking screw is the recessed M8 hex bolt at the bottom left of the headstock.
Considerable force must be used to lock the quill so a sturdy and long lever is required. ? Yes, lot of power is needed for a total lock, but total lock is not daily necessary for me, so I just put in bolt. My long ? ¡° key is always there for my LMS screws less Vise.( I have replaced the Allen bolt with an ordinary bolt.) As you can see of the same picture, I have replaced the little Allen bolt that control the boring depth with a quicker system. (the Allen key is not there when you need it)
? The second part of this Z-lock project was to lock the fine adjuster. I made a 6mm hole from underneath, and a quick release key.

Re: Painted Myself Into a Corner Again
Yup, works. Not much to worry about there, Arthur. You have a great surface for the 4 jaw to hold on to. Go ahead and cut the piece off. Just make double sure by indicating once close to the chuck and once as far outboard as the piece goes. If both end are concentric you?re good to drill/bore from the parted/cut off end.

Hi Dick, I wholeheartedly agree, particularly regarding the photo and file section. Those are not as simple to abuse and easier to maintain. Simple maintenance pf those would be even less work than the way this group is presently set up. Attachments can potentially get risky but not necessarily so as any abuser can be promptly banned, but still.
I have requested numerous times the photo and file sections should be available to members. To no avail. Sadly, this is; I fear, less about keeping spammers out and minimizing said risk than is is about needless control.

Hi Mario,
I belong to several yahoo groups and I believe most allow me to post my own photos, files as well as links to my own website. It sure is handy to have that flexibility. I have been a member of some for many years and don't remember any issues with abuse of the posting ability of any member. I am sure the potential is there though and can understand why the moderators and owners closely control what can be posted, but is is unhandy and inconvenient, but the groups are provided at no cost to us so we accept some inconvenience.
