Hey, Grunt! Looks great! Moving this topic to "Show Off". Johanna

Ha ha! I have a cell phone, and if I need to do anything beyond answering it, I need to ask one of the kids for help. Our girls can send text messages and pictures, check email, play songs, and work the calculator, but I am lucky I figured out how to turn the ringer on and off. Remember how we used to hold our lighters in the air at a concert? The kids hold their cell phones now. Sheesh!! Johanna

When I get new hardware I hook it all up and try to run it without the enclosed software cd. XP is pretty good at finding generic drivers to run things. Of course, this doesn't always work, and sometimes I need a driver or two. The next step is to Google the new hardware and locate the drivers from the manufacturer's site. Case in point- I have an ancient HP 3 in 1 with a cd of nearly 700MB of software to run it. I don't want my printer seizing control of my image files, so I didn't use the cd. Everything on the printer worked but the scanner. I found a 4MB download on HP site that makes the scanner work. Hurray! Vista is a whole different scenario, and you'll likely need the supplied cd. But Bruce, I have never installed any of the external Hard drive software on any XP system. As long as Windows recognizes the drive, you're in business. You can have as many externals as you want. TIP: store your externals away from the main computer (don't leave it plugged in all the time!) If something happens to the computer (lightning, gremlins etc) the exteranl is safe. A different physical location or fireproof box is ideal storage. Johanna

I would get an external and "copy" not move the important files. After you're sure everything is preserved on the ex hd, delete the files on the computer from the original location. This needs to be done ASAP or you are risking their loss, based on the errors you are receiving. Exteranl cd writers are okay, but they don't work as well as internal ones. You can buy a writer unit to swap with the cd reader the computer already has. I wouldn't try to burn from the ex hd unless I had to (slow!) but the key is to act now before it's all gone. Johanna

That's really pretty, Mike. I like the pink & yellow roses and the quilting on the bend. Sounds like all you need is the carving piece, Brent. Take a good look at the change purse before you do too much work. Tandy had some trouble with them breaking in the late 90s, if I remember correctly. Johanna

Johanna replied to David's topic in Motorcycles and Biker Gear
They are all really nice, but my favorite is the girl with the glasses. She's all about attitude, and I like the way you did her t-shirt at her back. Don't forget to post your Koi link somewhere for your fans, David! Johanna -
Vegetable tanned leather will absorb water and take tool impressions, chrome tanned leather will not. HTH Johanna

Ummm... rdb told me. Yep, that's it. (Old heads have to cover for each other, right?) ~J

Yep, the old head is right. "1623" is a reference to marijuana decriminalization. And the belt is classy. Thanks, steveb! Johanna (way to go New Hampshire!)

Did anyone PM Vera yet? Now I'm curious!! Johanna

Have you tried deleting the board cookies using the board (index page, towards the bottom on the right)? Cleared temporary Internet files? Setting the board to "Trusted Zone" (Internet Explorer only)? Everything is okay on this end. Johanna (Thanks for explaining HPFM to me, DT!)
-
That's a really good idea- a leather history section! Let me run that past the staff. I know a lot of us are interested in the old-timers, and the way they did things. Great suggestion, and I'm looking forward to seeing your grandfather's work. Johanna

Happy Birthday, Beezachoppa! May the wind blow any troubles away!

Hello, Will Ghormley! I admire the detail you work into your portraits, and hope you find the time to tell us a little about how you learned to do leatherwork, and how you get yours to look so good. Lots of folks introduce themselves in the member gallery here. Please post your website link, because I'm sure others will enjoy looking at your art. We're very pleased to have you here, and hope you make yourself comfortable. Welcome to leatherworker.net! Johanna (Thanks Buff!!!)

Yep, that looks like an accurate representation...right down to the dog crashed out on the shop floor. Johanna

Wow, someone needs to invite Mr. Ghormley to the forum. Thanks for the heads up. Johanna

MS Powertoys Image Resizer adds a right click option to your image files that allows you to reduce one or many pics in a couple of clicks. Irfanview is a free full graphics editor that lets you resize, crop, add text and lots more. Pics work best in the forum at 600X800 (or less) resolution (how big the pic appears on the screen) and between 100-300K (actual file size). Huge pics might be necessary to show extreme detail, but they can be a hardship to the viewers with slow or pay-by-the-minute connections, so try to use discretion when posting. Johanna

Nope, Jon, you're just fine on this end. It must be your connection. Does your ISP limit your usage because of the dial up? Johanna

I ususally put a piece of scrap leather under my punches, on top of the poundo board. Might just be superstition, but I think it helps the tools keep their edges better. Johanna
