Some of those scary things said are true, some

are not. As long as you take the appropriate

safety precautions.

The wife got used to me glowing in the dark (j/k)

But seriously you just got to approach this

material a little bit different, strong as

heck, but very prone to chipping.

 

PEACE

[Shady]

JImmy, every day up here is hillbilly days !! j/k...no I havnt been to Hillbilly days. I also have never been and will never go underground! I have been doing machine work on underground coal mine equipment for 15 yrs and have never stepped foot in a mines. ~~~~~Shady

you didn't have an email so here goes

 

go to hpphoto.com

then upload your photos to there

once uploaded, there is a "create link for auction" link,that will give you the url that you need to post a photo in the forum.

when in the forum "message" box you will

select "image" then paste your url in the box. it's pretty easy, if i can do it.

make sure you delete the http:// that is already in the box. if it is there twice it won't work.
