Interroban Report post Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) Hello everyone, Just want to introduce myself and say thanks to everyone that posts on here. I just started leatherworking and got a lot of info from here to help finish a briefcase that I made as a Christmas gift. Shown here is my first project. Leather: Tandy craftsman oak veg-tanned 6/7 oz Liner: Gray Chanille fabric with 2mm eva padding. Dye: Tandy Sunshine Yellow Thread: Tandy waxed cord in blue Finish: NF, Aussie, Resolene pictures: https://imgur.com/a/zC5s1CU sorry for the poor quality, forgot to take pictures before I gifted it so I had to use my cell phone. Next up is a tote bag, working on the template now. Cheers and Happy New Year! Edited January 10, 2021 by Interroban Add image link Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hosting companies change policies, disappear, people move their photos, delete them, change access, etc. There are quite a number of posts that no longer provide the information they were intended to.

Interroban Report post Posted January 11, 2021 File size limit restricts even posting one of the pictures I have for the project. I guess something is better than nothing for now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are lots of suggestions as to how you can reduce file sizes here. 800x600 pixels is adequate for most. 1024x768 is a bit better. Either of these will allow you to post many photos. It is also a favour to users on the fringes of good internet access. They don't have to wait an hour or so for a couple large photos to download before they can view the post. Please refer to this thread to find several pieces of software or web based utilities to help you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chuck123wapati Report post Posted January 12, 2021 i use windows 10 on my computer it has a program called "photos" what i do is open them with that hold my cursor over the pic and right click , brings up a menu, click on resize and another menu opens that allows me to reduce the size, i use "best for emails and messages". rename and save in a folder. Its super easy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
