saltysailor Report post Posted April 11, 2017 Just wanted to introduce myself. I just got into leatherworking a little over a month ago when I quit drinking. With the exception of covering a motorcycle seat (wrong leather, wrong application, etc.) with some leather a couple years ago I have never done anything within the industry However, I needed something to do to help pass the time and keep my brain off of the booze. So, I decided to go to Tandy and get some basic tools and a couple of their kits to start learning. That lasted just a week and then I realized that it is much less expensive to make my own projects vs using their kits so I started doing that and started creating my own templates, etc i have thouroughly enjoyed the learning process so far and want to continue to learn moving forward.

Any help is appreciated. Either use a resize app or what I do with my phone is. Text the pic to myself in anotherbapp like fb messenger and save pic again. It makes it small enough to post then. Or if on a computer look in the computer help section there are some posts how to resize them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZNightwolf Report post Posted April 12, 2017 Are you trying to post pics from your phone? You can go to the camera app and change the settings to a lower resolution (smaller size). Or use the selfie camera, those are probably small enough Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
