Hi everybody:  
It is said that one drawing worth more than thousand words, plus is can be read in almost every languaje. So here I am posting a colection of the drawings that I have placed on each topic. Most of this drawings have being checked with the builders. Some may include spec’s sheet, part list and/or operation procedures.  
Please keep in mind that each drawing has a date. Improvementes/modification may be made after that date.  
Everybody are welcome to add any further drawings/sketch that may think are appropriate for this topic.

**1) The FIRST POST** is the project of Kristijan Leitinger: Mercedes Benz E 230.

1. **The SEVENTH POST** is my interpretation drawing of the Gary Gilmore PROJECT post 04-Ford-Ranger-on-charcoal. This drawing has no feedback form the designer, so it may vary from the real project.

Hi Tom:  
That is the way old oil filters are made. An oil bath at the bottom, and some kind of wire mesh after that, the wire mesh gets wet with the oil splits/fumes and that increases the filtering system.

Hi Eddy,  
I am having a hard time with a part of your documentation:…

 ![Screen Shot 2021-02-05 at 17.42.51](https://dow.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/3X/a/8/a85f723e464dd0978ad1caecfe69583f9f0b3039.png)

What part are you claiming with patent pending ?  
Coz nothing what i have seen in your documentation so far has not been done by me or other DOW members already…

You can claim anything . If you get the paper you have the rights .

Hi Koen:  
Nice to hear from you.  
I don’t know how things are in Tailandia. But here in Argentina, if somebody else patent my design, he will prohibit me to use, spread, support, etc my design, and most probably I have to compensarte him. 😣  
You will say that if I go to justice the justice will support me.  
Let me share with you a true story that happened tu my dad.  
He sold a machine for U$D 250.000 to a guy that never pay him back. Not a penny. My dad sue him. The justice order the guy that has to pay compensation to my dad AND the guy has to pay all the sueing costs and the lawyers fees of BOTH layers. The guy declared him self poor (the guy not even went to jail). End of the story: My dad had to pay all (sueing costs and both lawyer) and lost the machine.  
So my bottom line is that I am trying (“trying” because nothing is for sure) to protect my self from malicious people and a faulty justice here un Argentina.

Oh Koen. I forgot to say.  
If I happen to get a patent for my design I will have no problem to give you and/or to this forum my patent for free only IF you and/or this forum promise not to sue me for using my design AND commite to protect me from any future claims.  
The bottom line is that in patenting I am looking for no money at all. I am trying to protect my self.
