Ben , thanks :) LOL I'm gettin there :eek:

You have to have "macro" on for the point and shoot to get that close.

Steve, are you using your wife's finger nail polish to clean that camera lens again? All kidding aside those wheels and rims look kick azz. Just had an other thought maybe it's all that midnight oil your burning is sooting up the lens!!!!

And set the camera on something solid to elminate (or atleast lesson) the shake. Take several photos of each item & pic the best of the bunch.

Hi, Steve !
I am just happy this turned out so well for you. The result is awesome !!! Keep on the good work !

Joe, Rob and Matt I have the macro on , It just does not focus up close :( my wife thought she got a good deal at 75 usd :rolleyes: not :mad: it could also be lack of natural lighting it's been scarce around here lately :( . today I woke to no power with the mill on all night fortunately it didn't surge :eck:

thanks papy wait till I'm done with the rear hubs ;) I'll have better pics by then

Steve, I'm no camera guru but, This is what I have been using since Christmas. I am very happy with it. As you can see my macro can get really detailed shots. Steady hands is all you need or use one of those tiny tripods. I hardly ever use the flash in my shop. I took some pictures this weekend at camp in the dark with flash and they turned out very nice.

I "made" my own tripod, just a block of wood with a 1/4" bolt and i clamp it to the work bench. I hardly ever use flash.

Kerst

I'll try that , Tim thanks I'll be back ;)

I tried Tim :( I think the pixels are to big/small when I try to home in on the front the pic gets blocky :confused::(

any how here's some others comparison in front of 102" wide trailer

thanks Guys :) Chris they wern't that hard only issue I had was a dull #50 drill bit but then what you expect for drilling 564 holes :eek: It's the simple stuff that gets me for stupid little mistakes :(

thanks Lou , I guss thats why I have so many to make :eek:

Joe , my body tells me when to get some sleep or my wife puts me back in my cave :p the lathe is a charm :D with being able to cut .125 off the radius in 1 cut w/out the motor bogging or flat belt slipping will spoil you quick :eek:
now thats slow compared to the mill :eek: I hustle to keep up with the mill in making wheel components .

I'm finally getting the rear axles together :eek: just have to order my shims and longer bolts . gettin closer to driving this baby around :D:o

OK Still the same cam :o but I got a little time ( well took :o ) to shim and set up the rear axles and assemble . they're upside down to assemble and pics , the walking beams belong on the bottom
