Great metal work! Wow you've had quite the challenge here but I see you are taking your time one section at a time. You'll be done before you know it. Keep at it. Cool

thanks! Wink and it's best to do it that way (i think Embarassed ) , section by section, I'd rather cut out a small piece of sheet which is extra of the fresh repaired section in stead of patching up afterwards. Wink

great job so far and i agree if you look at an overall pic of the work needed you may get frustrated.

one section at a time and before you know it the job is not nearly as frightening Very Happy

great job again

Its not a bug you are out of bandwidth foe a free account. That's how they (photo bucket) make their money, getting people to upgrade to their paid for accounts.. just like Flickr and many others

You can upload them straight from your pc into the gallery Rud!
No need for flickr or photobucket then. Resize them is all you need to do.
Great progress, btw, the hard to do job that is, those nasty little corners!
It's looking great!

Yep bandwidth is the amount of data that was used for people to load/see the pictures - not the space they take on their servers.

The samba gallery is great, but if you like photobucket (keeping all pics full sized is very nice) it may be worth paying for a premium account. I've been paying for Flickr for years and always enjoyed having it.

Looking forward to study all the photos!
