Hi, Not sure if these instructions will be confusing, and hopefully someone will come along and put easier instructions but in the meantime if you click on the photo that you want to share, on the bottom right there is a little symbol which looks like an arrow jumping out of a box. If you click this, a box will come up with lots of text under a heading 'Grab the HTML/BBCode', copy and paste all of that text into your message on here.

In effect you are pasting a link and then if you click preview on your post the photo will come up as it will appear on the forum. Hope it works for you.

The shed looks great and you look like you have a great way of sharing space but also lots of glass to play with, enjoy it.

Lovely shed!   :D  I particularly like the pic of your glass storage tubes with the light shining through.   ;D  Are the tubes just glued together?......they look very neat.

I like your work area, I have to set up in the kitchen so have to allow an extra hour every I want a beading session.  Is Mark making you your own presses?  If so, that is very impressive and I am very jealous :)

Thanks for all the nice comments,Marks making that for someone on here,then hes going to make me a bigger lentil,for me,he says he can make the lentil shape,straight sided and pastille on the lathe as its by hand hes not got cnc rigged up to it yet and he wants a milling attachment or a free standing machine,that would make it easier,so planning to get him one very soon,Parin.

The tubes are stuck together with white silicone,i tried using a glue gun but it didn't work very well,thanks for the nice comment on my pic ,will have to learn how to take better ones as I need to start taking them of my beads now,Parin.

Now that is an Aladins Cave - fantastic.  Great press, are you going to put these into production? I would love to have a lathe, takes me back to my metal working classes at school  :)

What a great space! I love that you've got Mark on board helping with the presses. Very impressive.
Can't wait to see that you've been doing with all that pretty glass  ;D

You are very lucky and very well organised.  Just as well my husband doesn't make presses, he'd never get any of his own work done, Mark's press looks great.  Janet
