this one shows the body of the blow gun with a threaded part coming out of it. Then it shows the thing together. And that's my spray booth.

Can't really tell from the pics, but the air valve seat is pressed into the exposed end of that threaded part. The ball that seats in it is secured inside the nozzle. The blue is heat shrink, two layers. Don't freak out about how I secured the hose to the body- there's barbs there, like any fitting, but the 'hose clamp' is pretty redneck. It's just string, wrapped tightly and soaked in crazy glue, then sanded up a bit.

Click in the right order and it's easy- here's a few more. The cabinet of long, skinny drawers. That's one end, the other end is full of knobs as well. The gap in there is for a slide-out where I will keep drawings, and charts. Second pic shows one drawer partly open- that's about 1/3 of the way open, the drawers are 4 ft long.

A very fuzzy image of the depth gauge I adapted to measure drill bit diameter. And there's a picture of the air dryer I just made.

There used to be a sticky for the old way to do it, but George removed it and it has not yet been updated. There are many threads on how to do it, and you can also go through this for some ideas:

I know not everyone is going to agree with this, but from my perspective the changeover to the new software is going well. There are a number of improvements, such as the ability to easily (very easily) post photos, increased speed, and, of course, the “like” button. One improvement that no one has mentioned, though I’m

I failed to use 'upload attachments'. I clicked on 'image' instead- I was looking for 'upload images'. But now that I see how to do it, it's easy. Here's another pic

this shows my home made flexible coupling that drives the fans in the booth with an external motor.

I uploaded this image from my computer by clicking "Image" and then choosing "Upoad" and "Send to Server". Then I have a choice of size and location.

Ok, I can see my way through that. Here's another image from inside my spray booth- that's a hinged door just to the left and in front of the power bar. I can close that to protect the power bar from overspray if I need to.

I could be mistaken, but I thought I could use the arrow keys to advance thru multiple pics. When I click on your pics they open in a new tab, with no option to step forward or backward.

Anybody else see this, or am I thinking of a different forum?

It depends on how you insert the photos in your post. I place them in free space between lines of text, or just sequentially, and usually large or medium size, so there is no need to click on pictures to see details. I think, perhaps, if you just attach the photos, but do not insert them, they will appear as thumbnails which must be opened. I'm not going to bother trying other things to achieve the (undesirable) behavior. I say my way is better, and I'm sticking to it!

I just automatically chose 'medium', and on my screen at least, it give a good size to post at. You do have all the options as to size, where each pic goes, etc. I just put a few words of text, then added a pic and let it fall where it may, then repeat. I usually go back and edit after posting, just so I can put the text where it makes sense to. And of course that doesn't always work out right either.
