We can post photos to the 'photo' or 'file' section of the list, can't we?

Although the elek-trak.org is a good place to archive them.

Sounds intriguing.

> I'm forwarding the text from an excellent e-mail with pictures from Shaun
down in Australia.  He has done an excellent job of making a nice front
loader that is very competitive with the 'Johnny Lift' I posted about
earlier.  Since the pictures will not post, I'm forwarding them to Don 
Barry
(don barry kmtc com) who keeps the http://www.elec-trak.org page.  I really
think others will want to see what Shaun has done.  I also asked Shaun to
send any sketches he has on as I think this is something many of us will
want to try.  Great job Shaun!

Oh hey, and a little bit of welding!   Some pictures follow: I did not send
these to the list as they don't take pictures, but please forward this to
the other interested guys and I will follow any discussion and answer
questions.
