Thanks to everyone here, Coosa, Keith, Stan, et al, who have so kindly offered to help me post photos. My only obstacle is getting my photos from my phone to my desktop pc. Otherwise, I would be in business. My son, who is the E-Commerce guy for Southern Pipe and Supply, is coming over one day this week to help me get this done. To all those who posted photos just to rub it in, no thanks to you...

John,

You could text or email your photos from your phone to yourself. Then you can go to your computer and download them from the text or email.

That will work but will almost certainly degrade the resolution severely, esp in text.

If you have a google account on your phone, photos are also stored on the cloud which is also accessible by your home computer. Once you access them from the cloud then it's a simple matter to download them to your computer. The colored pinwheel symbol in the google apps is the cloud stored photos which are automatically uploaded from phone to cloud. To access the photos pinwheel, once you are at the google home page or gmail, the apps are in the upper right hand corner; click on the 9 dots which are stacked 3x3x3. Find the photo in the colored pinwheel and download it to your computer.

That is exactly how I do it. It has worked flawlessly for me to email them to myself.

Stan,
That's how I do it as well, having everything on my desktop makes it easier to work. JPEG does the rest for me.

We have mechanical experts who can disassemble a Parker (devilish) or sleeve a barrel...but sending a photo from a phone to an email, downloading it, then uploading it onto Imgur or jpgbox is a crossword puzzle. My sons do this to me all the time (as I was trying to teach them how to use a wood plane or drive a nail with a hammer). I have to admit, I still use handsaws and up until recently a Brace & Bit).

John, glad to hear your son will be able to help you import the photos from your I-Phone to your Windows PC. I'm sure you'll be posting pics here shortly.

Here's a pic I took several days ago while deer hunting. It's an old Bessemer Hit and Miss single cylinder engine that was used in an oil well pumphouse. Although the pumphouse and linkages to the rocker pumps are long gone, this one is kind of unusual in that it has two flywheels, and the cylinder head water jacket is still mostly intact. Most I find have just one much larger flywheel. I leaned my Marlin 1895 .45-70 next to a flywheel for a size reference.

There's an alternative to a brace and bit now, for drilling holes?
