Warning: Shameless Gloat

Gary Miller

>As a retirement gift to myself, I have been on Wayne Anderson's list for a smoother, and I talked to him today, and he's building it now. He sent me a work in progress photo.

I will soon be the proud owner of a hand-made, dovetailed brass and steel, walnut burl filled, 50 degree 9" full sized smoother w/ a 2 1/4" LN iron.

Even in its unfinished state, it's a beauty! Wayne's an artist.

You were warned!

>There is one cheap-and-dirty way to resize pics without using any photo editing software at all (if you use Windows XP).

1 - Open Windows Explorer to the folder containing the image. 2 - Single-click the image (highlight it). In the menus on the left side of the window will be a choice - 'Email this picture.' 3 - Choose that, and then check the button that says 'Make my pictures smaller.' 4 - Email it to yourself, and just save that new email attachment. I've found these always come in under 40KB, and often with very good quality.

I'm further down on Wayne's to-do list myself, so I definitely wanna see!
