Ok! So when you are ready to tell, we are ready to read!!

Irish is very good and we like the stories!

I'm sitting here, all ears waiting for this one... I really enjoy these threads even though I know I have zero chance of ever getting to this level

still, don't take too long posting it. I'm on my employers time

Cheers,

Hi Woodwould

Please tell me that you didn't actually do all that intaglio carving in the 38.25 hours as well? That really would crush my soul!

Lovely piece, anyway, I'll bet the client was happy when she picked it up.

Tony, you might want to cover your ears for a moment...

I've got quite a bit to do this morning, but if I have a chance later on, I'll tell the story - I also need to find another relevant photo. I may have slightly over emphasized the magnitude of the tale. It's probably only of relative interest to some, though it still makes me smile when I recall it.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Woodwould yet another great piece

Absolutely stunning work there Woodwould, i'd give anything to be able to create anything i imagined to the same standard as i've seen in these threads. Beautiful work.

Don't sell the thumbnails short. They allow the page to load faster via juice cans and string (dialup), and encourage viewing. Within the text provides a better flow of information and overview, and viewers can boink the thumbnails to enlarge according to their desire for detail.

Bodaciuos work, BTW.

I've given up with the whole images thing. I tried posting another thread earlier with pictures uploaded from my computer rather than Photobucket, but the forum's image protocols meant the photos would either be too degraded or make it impossible to see any detail.

Joe, I see you comment in all of my threads about image size etc., but I'm following forum rules and guidelines and, while I'm sorry some members with dial-up accounts may be slightly disadvantaged when viewing my threads, there's not much I can do unless an administrator objects, or modifies the maximum allowable picture size. The current permissible sizes are, by any standard, miniscule to say the least. The time taken to load the page may be slower, but the total time taken to read the thread and view all images will be no different.

As I said before, I agree with you that if your images are reduced too much they lose all their detail and it becomes worthless.

But I like most other forumites enjoy seeing your work..... so I have been experimenting with a free image editor Paint.net and I will post a picture here the way joe wants it done for people with string communications......

Have a look Woodwould and see what you think, surely we must be able to get this right

Regards

Chipman

KEEP POSTING PLEASE

Put your text here





write what you like here


etc, etc


It is still the same size at 97kbytes

Cheers

Chipman

Joe, does it make any difference to your speed whether the 97Kbyte image is posted as a link or as a picture. I haven't got dial up on this computer so I am not sure.... (I suspect that the page with the thumbnail link will load a bit faster)

Let us know


We want to keep everyone happy!


By the way, your high speed internet is way faster in the US than it is in Australia.
