Rick,

I have never even heard of the website, but I do approve if it shows our small efforts to a worldwide audience.

Maybe it will light a spark in someone's mind to have a go, and we all know what happens after that.

"Make" is an interesting magazine (plus web site and so on). It tends to cater more towards the DIY inventor / bodger side than actual model-making, but usually has a little of everything. Often the projects are electronic or electro-mechanical in nature-- last month had a chicken house the inventor had fitted out with automatic doors and internet control so he'd get a Twitter message or SMS whenever the chickens arrived home in the evening.

I have just had a look at my Youtube vids and the one shown has the highest number of hits, nearly 84,000.

At least someone seems to like what I used to make.

John,

My hat (if I wore one) is off to all of you folks who take the time to post helpful and informative stuff to YouTube. Thank you.

I used to hate YT when about all you found was some retarded drek. Now that it's gotten so big the content is astounding. I lost a couple hours last night watching bit sharpening and other machinery videos.

Time to look at some more machine porn on YT....

Actually Mike, posting on Youtube was not the ultimate goal.

I find it to be the easiest and best place for sticking vids that are shown on here.

The worldwide appeal is just an added bonus.

Also, I found out the other day, when I visited Stew, that one of my articles I did over on Madmodder about the refurbishment of a Marcher model boat steam engine has been been turned into a series of articles in Model Engineer by the person I did the work for.

It is rather a shock when you see all your piccies and text in a worldwide magazine, especially when you had forgotten, some time in the distant past, that you had given the chappie permission to use it all if he wanted to.
