Have you tried the button at the top of this page, 'Submit your plans'?

As far as the photos and video go, there is a tutorial in the FAQ's. The procedure isn't totally intuitive so I usually open the FAQ in another tab and follow along. I don't post often so need the refresher. We all like to see pictures.

Thanks . My intention for the ball turner was to not have to take the compound off. But wow was really hard trying to keep that 1 1/4 center line. The turner works great just limited to no larger that a inch ball. I plan on building one Like all the others   next  . I just wanted to see if i could do it my way  with the compound  on.

Hey, did you notice that your die holder got featured on Instructables? It was one of the featured projects in their weekly email.

Yup i sure did. The ball turner got featured to. I love that site i get such a kick out of it when someone likes my ideas .I got like 5,000 hits in less than a day .!!! whooohooo. Im trying to get the pictures to upload on your site to . I think i ended up and sent the links instead . Was having problems uploading the pics. What do you think of the instructables site? Some stuff is kinda weird and redundant but  people enjoy my ideas .  I found a buyer for the qc tool post who lives near me so at  least he will get some use out of it. ttys

5k hits in one day? Wow, that's awesome! Was that hits to your instructrables page, or hits to your home page?

I'm not sure what you mean about the domain. Is weebly some sort of free hosting service?

It takes a while for a new site to show up on search engine results. But you can submit your site to google and yahoo to make it show up faster. There is a lot of info online on how to do this – just don't pay for it. It's free. Sites that charge you a fee to submit your site to search engines are a scam. 

If weebly.com is a free hosting service you'd be better off buying your own domain and getting an inexpensive ($10 a month) hosting plan. I use Godaddy. They aren't the best, but they have the best customer service of anyone – which is more important to me than anything else. And their customer service dept is in the US – which is also nice. 

You can do everything yourself, for very little money. When I first launched this site I paid $9 for the domain, and I got a shared hosting plan for $10 a month. So it cost me $129 a year to run the site for that first year. Now I think a similar plan is even less expensive (prices have dropped a bit since 2009).

Since then I've had to upgrade my hosting to a much more expensive plan to keep the site from running slow (because of increased traffic) but it's still relatively inexpensive.
