Firstly unless you start dealing with cameras similar to the Nikon D4, D600,(?), or D800 you possibly won't get manual override on everything you want to. But then you start talking about $3000,...

Brett,
The exposure modifications with the Pentax K-m is somewhat limited. Its a base entry type digital camera so has some limitations.
The pictures I took were more of a trial to see if the...

The Probys Grave picture was the worst with the error bit.

As suggested part of the issue is ISO/sensitivity settings. It needs to be high and also look at aperture setting for depth of field.
One other thing is to set the focus setting to spot not a matrix...

Big Shed:
Thanks that is a form of relief.

The intended process is to end up with a cast wax ant to work into the ring base. The wax casting being made from a real ant as as Peter said, rubber cast or similar process. The whole ring is then...

Guys thanks for the offerings but in most cases you all live too far away for me to personally pick up them up.

SawDustSniffer: Yes I first thought of those green ants. I have dealt with them...

It was fully discussed with the ethics committee and approved so long as the dead ants did not suffer in the process of the design making and their remains were disposed of in accordance with the...

I know those creatures that tend to be annoying.
This is a little different, they are still annoying as I can not find the ants I need for a specific design.

Simply I am...

Thanks for the various suggestions and help.
Unfortunately my financial controller has passed on and I seem at present to have lost any inkling to do anything at present.

Bob H and oges,
Thanks for the comments.

Unless I am wrong a 'Hegner lookalike' points to Carroll's Trupro 18" variable speed, or the CT 18". WMS only seem to have 16" saws on their web.

Now that is scary stuff..:oo:

When I was younger, many blue moons ago, I remember my grandmother telling me that they use to get a coach at Willunga/Mclaren Vale and travel to Adelaide. They...

Well seems there is a push to have the bullbar ditched. That includes the winch and additional driving lights.

This has all to do with pedestrian safety. But if you have to drive distances in the...

Still got some threepences, halfpennies and a couple of pennies.

Not to mention things were sold in shops as 10 guineas or 10g.

Also we had real coins that meant there was no rounding up/down. ...

I deny it all, because if I do agree that that was fact I must be getting old :o.

But Wife keeps telling me to "grow up" so something is a miss here.:no:

Milk cart?? You got to be kidding. It came in the big milk urns straight from the dairy. The bloke brought it around in the back of his unrefrigerated ute, and no canopy either in them days.

As mentioned belt notation is all over the place.

From what I have found out the best alignment notation wise with the Chinese 'O' notation is the SPZ series.

one thing I have not quite worked out with this:
