Dave Stephens Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Nice one Jim! I like the buttcap. -Dave -----------------------------------------------"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly." -- Theodore Roosevelthttp://stephensforge.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM Wands Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Jim,,, nice work,,, but,,,,, Don just posted regarding image size in posts. see I also noted the images on your site are much smaller.

But please try to play by the rules. jm BladeThe blade, elegantSlicing through the sweet, warm breezewith a precise hit.Sam Wands (10 years old)Gold for the merchant, silver for the maid;Copper for the craftsman, cunning at their trade.Good!

But please try to play by the rules. jm I can't figure out what is happening. The images are 30% of what got posted. When I download at the browse they are VERY small, then pop up huge. I just switched to a MAC and can't figure it out. The biggest file is 132 KB. I reduce the file size and then save, but they revert back to the full size. I just tried reposting and still they revert. I may use my old computer and try that. Any ideas ??

Art Lawrence Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Did you save it as a jpeg then no larger than 640 pix and 72 dpi? On my photoshop jpeg screen I have to work from the bottom up starting with 72 dpi or it will revert back if I go the other way. PC or Mac shouldn't make a difference to the program. I think! -Art "My sword and my shield are at your command" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Sisters Forge Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 I just went back, removed the files, then up loaded them again and presto, they are the correct size. The sizes that were showing were after cropping, but not resized. Now it appears OK. Sorry for any problems, I am very careful with posting. My web site throws a furball if I don't.

Three Sisters Forge Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 Yes, this will be for sale. I usually post to my client list first, then put on my web site 48 hours later if it is not sold. Depending on sheath, this will be about $900-1,200.00.
