Speed Of Drying Motor Options

[nimrod]

photo qual is not the problem, the camera is just focussing on the wrong object in the first couple of them, dunno if you can set it to manual but try moving the camera around a bit, you may be in just a bit too close for it to focus on the rod if it doesn't have a macro option.

Yes I can see that now. The camera needs replacing anyhow as it is not transfering all the photos onto my program and I have to switch it off and back on again after every shot.
It's driving me crazy, and with my eyesight failing as well I cant see what is focused and what is not till I trandfer onto computer.
Might take a few shots with the other digi and see if it's me or the camera.
It's a bad tradesman that blames his tools.

Frank,

Do you have any of the wrap patterns (step by step how to do a pattern)?
or
DO you do them from memory?

Saw you asking for the spider pattern on another thread and I woul dbe interested in getting some patterns if possible.

I follow a pattern, and the pretty ones are usually complicated.
x patterns and chevrons ( their the v shaped patterns ) you don't need a formula, they are very easy.
You can make up your own design, but it's a hell of a lot easier to copy someone elses pattern.
I use Dale p Clemens Custom rod thread art book, and it shows you how to's and has heaps of patterns.
There are some basics you need to know before you even start to think about doing a pattern.
Spacing the x's are very important and the thicker the rod the bigger the spaces etc.
For closed patterns the measurements have to be precise.

If there is a certain pattern you want to try, I could put the formula here for you, but until you learn the terms and rod building language it would be all double dutch.
