    I'm trying to locate Stu's post showing details of his ball turner. If I use advanced search and enter both ball turner and Stustoys in the appropriate fields I come up with the" Your latest project " thread containing 509 posts that I have to wade through.

    I could just ask Stuart but is there another way?

    Try using google advanced search & enter www.woodworkforums.com in the 'site or domain' field.

    Google Advanced Search

    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    Bob, once you've found the thread, you could use the 'search this thread' button at the top of the page. Then enter ball turner.

    Another way is to select 'display posts' when using forum search.
