El Cheapo Cranknut unlocker

Here's a drawing of a cranknut unlocker/locker brace I built from a couple of bolts, pieces of electrical conduit (EMT) and pieces of 2x4s. It braces the crank enough to lever the nut undone with a big long cheater handle.

This is my first image upload and hopefully it'll go alright. Please bear with me if I create any problems. TIA,

Hi Steve,
I could cut and paste your info to see your drawing, so you're half way there. I think the problem is you were trying to put a webpage into the image tag instead of the image itself. Lets see what happens when I use this "https://i.pbase.com/o6/87/454987/1/93312770.RUAIyP09.CrankNutLockerSmall2.jpg" with the image tag.

How I did that: Looking at the picture, right click on it, choose properties, a window pops up that has the image URL, highlight and copy. Looks like you've got the proceedure down on this website with the image tags, I use the icon at the top of the "compose post" box that's 3rd from the left. Looks like a piece of paper with the circle, square triangle on it.
 
FWIW--I was following the forum's instructions and trying to link to photos on my gallery but the only thing that seems to work for me is to upload files from my pc.
