I have been out of action for a while but I'm back at the old workbench for 2019, when I put the thread on the forum I never thought as many would have looked at what I had made, so this year I will be putting lots more things in the running.



Here is my first real winter project for the new year, similar items are available but being a fairly poor maker of things but multi tallented I made my self this 3D pantograph for my own honey bee insemination program, one of these in the retail world costs over 5K, I have managed to make this unit for less than 50 pounds.

It seems that something does not want my pictures to show on my thread here, maybe its a glitch in the Postimage system, but after a while they are being blocked from the forum even though I have used the correct meta data/link to paste into the forum.

I´ve had the same problem...
For some reason the wonderful postimages.org changed the URLs of existing images!
 
One of the images you’ve hotlinked to one page 1: https://postimg.org/image/5ahjlhmyb/
The “postimg.ORG” was changed into “postimg.CC”; when you go to https://postimg.cc/image/5ahjlhmyb/; and then use right mouse button to find https://i.postimg.cc/qvgFZym2/20170503-155806.jpg and hotlink to it...

Thanks for the heads up, I use several places to post images now to cut down the chances of them going missing.

Over the last several days it's been raining again so I have been busy tinkering in the old workshop, her in doors really likes dragon flies so I put this together this pendant using scrap silver sheet for the wings and a shank from an old George 4th silver spoon, the eyes I hand turned from Pink Ivorywood, the kind that the Zulu cheifs of old had as their Royal ceremony.

I need a little help in trying to find out if my threads on the David Icke forum have been removed, one was called Hands and Minds where I added things that I made, together with other creative makers wares, it seems to be missing as well as the communities thread/forum that did so well on the old forum, it seems as if creativity is frowned upon and has been put out to grass on the new forum.
