Ken_Potts Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 So here's what I'm learning from you folks: A while back I wanted to make the center thwart for my CS17 but I didn't have a wide enough board. I also didn't quite have enough ash to piece the seat together. I DID however have a little extra walnut for filler... Every time I buy wood for a project I try to get a little too much - Now I've got a (small) pile of wood that is available for whatever. Hey Mr. Oyster - We talked briefly about this on another thread a while back but I didn't want to hijack the topic. Now I have finally posted the picture you requested. Quote
Ken_Potts Posted August 10, 2005 Author Posted August 10, 2005 Okay, I haven't actually gotten the picture up yet. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Quote
Guest Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 Sometimes the pictures will not link, but you can add it to the attachment section below the message box and hit attach and it will load for you. Quote
Ken_Potts Posted August 10, 2005 Author Posted August 10, 2005 Hmm, I was trying to do it the way you say to. In the "Add an Attachment" area I browsed for the file then clicked "Add Attachment" I just looked at the FAQ and saw that the picture needs to be on a public server. I can't do that at the moment. I really do need to post more pictures if just so I will know how to Quote
Guest Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 I load everyone of my pictures right from my documents folder on my computer. I hit browse, and find the right one, and then hit attach and then hit the submit. A picture will not load if there is not words or at least one letter in the message folder. Quote
Ken_Potts Posted August 10, 2005 Author Posted August 10, 2005 Oh! My picture is too big! I was sitting here looking at the message every time... I'll shrink it and try again... Quote
kydocfrog Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 Whenever I try to paste a picture directly in from document folder, they are almost inevitably rejected because of size. I end up having to really cut stuff and do odd things to get them to post. Not one of life's major problems, I guess... DocA Quote
Stump Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 OK, all you guys that keep making things that look so nice can just cut it out!!! :wink: Quote
Ken_Potts Posted August 10, 2005 Author Posted August 10, 2005 Actually I'm a little worried that the seat will make the rest of the boat look bad - I ought to strive for a more consistent appearance. Then again I can always paint the seat Quote
JeffM Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 Paint it?! NO!!! Don't even joke like that! Not after I left my ugly coaming bright only because it was almost the LEAST ugly work I'd done! Quote
Guest Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Sorry Ken I left after I posted. BUt thats a nice job on the scraps. Quote
Ken_Potts Posted August 11, 2005 Author Posted August 11, 2005 Thanks for the compliments you guys. I selected the photo that least shows the surface flaws (dings, bugs in the varnish etc.) This is some of my better work as it probably passes the 15 foot rule. Oyster, thanks for not laughing too loud while I was trying not to read the obvious "your picture is too big" message. I hope you had a good time sailing. Quote
capt jake Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Varnish can be a real buggar, specially on flat objects like this. I ended up taking most of my varnish work into an unused bedroom on a large sheet of plastic. The family didn't like the smell, but it reminds me of shop class (though I never took shop). I am going to try the next project in my new shop, as I have a semi-isolated area for this. Quote
