Frosty Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I couldn't find a way to reply to Steve's announcement that the Blue Print section is back online for our use. And dog GONNIT Steve and probably Foo deserve a hearty THANK YOU for opening that old door again! WAY TO GO GUYS!! Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott NC Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Also, thank you for the new Historical Ironwork sub-forum. I'll flag topics I see. I hope others do as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Sorry it took so long, we had to wait for the updates, and the January update had a bug so we had to un-do that and wait for the March fix before we could make the changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 Didn't the blueprints disappear in an update maybe OS change a few years ago? Taking a month or two longer than you anticipated would've gone unnoticed when they came back. You know what they say about absence making the heart grow fonder? Having access to the blueprints makes my fondness levels cross giddy! Thank you all for the hard work you've been pursuing so diligently for the last few years and congratulations for a job well done! Frosty The Lucky.

Hefty Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Steve, thanks for bringing the blueprints back, but I'm finding that I can pretty much only see the Articles and the Hofi series(even just these two are a wealth of knowledge, though!). All the others say "Oops, you don't have permission to view this content". Are these other series somehow restricted, or is this some sort of error? Thanks, Jono.

Steve Sells Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I have to figure out how to get them in one place, Glenn had his own way of doing things that I am still sifting through. Some are in a forum listing as Blueprints the others are under Pages, eventually I will get them all under blueprints , bear with me I know they are a bit of a mess still, I have more to get posted again as well, keep checking back there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 Glenn hadn't gotten them all sorted into the blueprints forum before the OS change lost them did he? I think he just lumped things that fell into his "blueprint" definition into the forum and was working his way through organizing them. At least I seem to recall him asking the forum for suggestions to help organize things. I recall the blueprints section being kind of hard to navigate though random selections could be fun.

Steve Sells Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 they are not really in the forum, there are in a separate section called Articles and I cant find out how to transfer them from one to the other, I am working on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hefty Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 No worries. Thanks Steve! We love your work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 Don't kill yourself Steve, it will take as long as it takes. I tried "articles" earlier, found the link but it looped back to the article section. I decided to leave you be then and will wait quietly unless I think of something I can do to help. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 when you select a BP in that section, it does bring up the BP but its at at the bottom of the page after the articles listings, confusing I know.. It took me a while to notice that myself, that is why I am trying to move them into the forum properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 Ayup, there they are! Thanks Steve. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Great job Steve. I see a ton of bps getting put in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 slowly getting them moved over, so far I have 00, 100, 300 series moved into the forum and they can be commented on now as well. I dont have photos for 200 or 500 series yet still searching for them, we have them somewhere I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Truely appreciate the hard work and effort. Just at a poke and a peek I have seen more than I have before. The effort is a great help to many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 Thank you again Steve I spent a couple hours looking through many of them and seeing old names kind of choked me up. Once you figured it out you were really moving them, I was just looking and skimming and you left me in the ink dust. Frosty The Lucky.

George N. M. Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Dear Steve, since these were unavailable for so long they kind of dropped off my radar. Now, that you are resurrecting them so fast it is like drinking from a fire hose. It will take some time to process them. There have been a few, e.g. the mystical things to do to ensure a successful forge weld, that I now recall reading years ago. Again, thank you for all the effort. These are a good resource. Also, are you accepting any new ones? GNM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 YES always Sadly we stopped hosting the Tuesday night BP presentation because Glenn and I could not do it anymore, and no one else would commit to being in the chat room every Tuesday to present them, but I will still add to this list when they get sent it, I will format them if you cant as well. I also added some of the 200, 400 and 600 series today, still so many are missing drawings or photos Perhaps someone would be willing to go over the old ones like that and re do them?

lary Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Wow! Logged in early this morning and immediately hit the list of blueprints in the Activity section. Are you done loading them? Thanks Steve! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 added 700 last night, and 800 and 900 this morniong, plus half of the 200 and none of the 500 series have photos If everyone can do us all a favor, I noticed while doing the 900 series that there were many duplicates there from other series. So if while browsing these you notice a copy, let me know the BP numbers of say 923 and 400 are the same so I can removed the copys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoGoodWithUsernames Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Just a consideration to make it easier to navigate, what does the series number indicate? Could each be called for example "BP400, Tooling"? Also it seems some of the series I am able to look at and some I do not have permission for. Thanks for all the work so far in bringing these back again!

Steve Sells Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 no clue, its a Glenn number system. I honestly think its based on when it was presented as much as anything everyone should be able to read and post to the forum sub section,. the Pages will be going away after I finish up, I have been deleting from there as I transport them into the forum itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 I've had luck with some of the links by copy / pasting them into my browser or search engine. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I took 000 and 100 offline until I can get the photos sorted out, they dont make a lot of sense as they are now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 You need to take more breaks Steve, you're making more double posts as the day goes on. I don't know about them making sense, I don't think they ever have, have they? If you do get them organized maybe even (be still my heart) searchable we'll have to take up a collection and throw you a cyber party! Frosty The Lucky.
