If you include the photos in your post rather than having as attachments, as you currently do, you can the comment on each photo in your post.
If you don't know how to do that:
In Advanced Edit mode you will see a paper clip symbol on the top line of edit buttons
Place your cursor the post where you want the photo to go, click on the paper clip and you will get a dropdown list of the photos you have attached, click on the photo you want and it will be inserted in the post where you have placed the cursor.
You now add text to describe that photo.
Keep doing that for each photo.
That way you have photo and description together, easier for you and the people reading your posts.
Crowie
There fantastic shots .
Thank you for putting that together .
Top job there.
If you want to come to the next one let me know ? our van has side windows ,aircon ,heater ,seat belts ,radio both am and fm and Bluetooth extra.

Ray's repair of Dave's "Treadle Lathe" foot arm with recycled timber as part of the "Firewood Challenge".....
Then Dave had a got and it worked perfectly, even with a less then sharp chisel.....
WELL DONE RAY.....
TOP JOB....:2tsup:
You can see the original configuration/bodge in one of the earlier photos using a piece of steel for an old plow....Also my I add that after this days effort of up & down, bending & kneeing, Ray was quite sore; his body yelled at him saying you're not as young as he thought....:rolleyes:.....:C.....:no:.....
Excellent series of pics

Looks like Ray was carrying on the same workmanship as Dave's floor job. It came up a treat.
What is that Ray is hammering in in picture 14 and is exposed in pic 15?
Thanks for the WIP Crowie.
I think the joint is a called mortise & tenon and to secure the new timber tenon in the old mortise, Ray cut some long, thin wedges, added glue, then hammered them in place to firmly secure the joint, one on each side between the old & new timbers.....Quote:

And thus it is called a weged mortice and tenon. Some may go so far as to say a thru wedged mortice and tenon 😉

Sunset in Dooen....

Thanks Treecycle for the compliment. Yes it is a wedged mortise and tenon. I really enjoyed that little project, definitely something different and worth doing to keep such a treasure in working condition. Im even tempted to make one from scratch.
The best photo is the 3rd sunset one with the reflection off the rail lines, that is probably one of the best composed sunset pics I have seen in a loooooooong time. Well done Peter.

Dave looks like the boys & ladies all had a brilliant time. Thanks to all for photos LOML likes the spinning wheel any idea who made it?? Very interesting concept with footman going through the leg, variety of speed ratio changes, bearings, and balance weights?
Can you repost the pic of the one you mean. There were two on the goQuote:

Australia Day in Dooen 26/01/2016....:aussie5::aussie5::aussie5:
Only 10 people left at the Get Together, 2 ladies, 3 children and 5 blokes....WHAT SHALL WE DO?????
Ray said the "Firewood Challenge" is still on and Dave needs a work bench; so Ray, Dave, Ron, Uncle Al & I all pitched in under Ray's supervision....
First to collect the timber from one of the piles, denail it, cut it to length...
Plus collect some of the rusty old booker rod from the other pile, repairing the threads & straightening....
Work out how to connect all the pieces of Dave's "Torque Work Centre".....
Attach the circular saw to the Torque Work Centre to square the sides...
Drill & recess the holes for the booker rod....
Glue up next & bolt together....
The next step was to attach the router to the Torque Work Centre to level/true the boards....
Clear away a huge bin of saw dust & shavings; apologies to the blokes who cleaned up the shed, but it's now covered in wood dust....
Finally to oil the old timbers, WOW some beautiful colours and grains in that old timber....
While the legs & braces have been cut ready for fitment, we ran out of time and energy, so Dave & Ron will have to do them another day.....
What a top Australia Day, meat pies for lunch, lots of flies, dust & heat, woodworking with mates, along with doing something very worthwhile......Thank you!!!!
FORD's Rock.....Just for you Dallas!!!!Quote:

But Daves bench looks fantastic
Conclusive proof that Holden drivers are smarter than Ford drivers:
Holden drivers can come up with heaps of acronyms for FORD:
Fix Or Repair Daily
Found On Rubbish Dump
Found On Retard's Driveways,
the list goes on,
But I have yet to hear a Ford driver come up with a similar acronym for HOLDEN.
It just seems to be too hard for them.

Hope Our Luck Doesn't End Now
