George Koller asked me to post the photos of his scale modification
project, which
are really interesting. At present I lack webspace (I am changing
ISP's) and wanted
to get them posted, so I did the following:
Created a group at Yahoo called "Homemade Pottery Equipment"
which has the webaddress of HomemadePotteryEquipment*@yahoogroups.com
(the asterisk must be removed to use it - otherwise mail will bounce)
The purpose of the group is "To provide information, advice, and ideas
relating to
homemade equipment for ceramicists, and a place to post photos on this
subject."
The http address is
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HomemadePotteryEquipment
You must have a Yahoo membership to read, post, or view photos, which I
know
Is a huge hassle, but it allows anyone to see it without my currently
having a website.
There are plenty of other places to post if you have beautiful
pottery to display, or wonderful ideas to discuss. This group
should be for nuts and bolts issues -- how to assemble PVC pipe to
make an extruder, how to customize a scale, how to make a really
good trim tool, and so on.
I will not post photos unless for some reason you can't do it
yourself -- membership in this group is 'open' (i.e., you can sign
yourself on without my approval or intervention of any kind).
I do ask that you stay on topic. Other than that, I don't want to
be involved too much. I don't intend to delete things, edit things,
and so on. If this works well, it's a community resource. If not,
it won't be in anyone's way, and at least it won't be adding to
Mel's mountain of spam and off-topic messages.
I want to reduce the density of spam, so the tiny bit of
public information about this which I do post will always have an
asterisk in it that needs to be deleted to access the group (this
protects the group from being picked up by web -crawlers and added
to automated spam lists.
I hope this works. My best to all. If anyone has trouble creating
A Yahoo account let me know and I'll try to devise a work-around.
Regards -- Steve Slatin
