[img]http://www.aws.org/mwf/title.gif[/img] would be the method indicated in the help section. It appears this has been turned off. There is always something like photobucket and then past the link.

Denny,

There are several free hosting sites, photobucket.com is the one I use too. You can set-up separate albums to sort your photos too. It is a free service or for a small annual fee you can get additional services. Photobucket allows several formats of images, so you can scan drawing details or sketches in addition to saving digital photographs.

Like John mentioned, each photograph has a unique URL so you can paste the entire link as he did, or you can use hyperlinks in e-mails etc. Other forums have different picture posting capabilities and you can upload your images directly from photobucket.

You can also assign passwords to allow people to access a particular album. This is handy for posting photos specific to a particular project. At the end of a project, you can delete or close the album. The really nice thing I like is that I have access to job photographs from any computer.

Hey John, Nice picture by the way.

THANK YOU!!! To all you gentlemen who furnished information. Now all I have to do is read the procedures so I can use it.

As a Production Design Tech./Welder, I have many solutions for those of you who do repetitive welding for multiple production of the same items. Where I work presently, I have to produce or modify hundreds of the same items. I have to be able to weld both steel and aluminum. In the 6 years there, I have designed & fabricated 2 vertical & horizontal 12 ton hydraulic air presses from scrap, 62 welding jigs & fixtures to reduce production manhour & material costs. Believe me, they were working in the stone age when I started.

I hope I may be of assistance to any of you who may have a dilemma on how to secure or position items that have to be welded precisely and repetitively. I will post some photos of these jigs & fixtures and explain their purpose.

And, John, that IS a beautiful photo.....you should send it to one of the greeting card sites and either you or let one of their writers put some verse to it......just a thought....

Thanks again so much......Denny
