You're right Joe.
I've been lurking and not contributing.

After taking my picture and diddling with it to get it to meet the 50kb file size restriction I kind of felt like 'what's the point?' it's so small now that it's hardly worth showing.

Anyhow, here it is.
It's about 2 feet wide and 1 foot tall.
Made from 18 pound HDU. It's my first 3D sign.
It's for my Niece and her Husband.

Beautiful sign, Scott! And it is big enough to see! You did a great job on both counts - Thanks for sharing! Love that little smiley face!!

HEy guys, I have some pics but can never get them down to the 50 kb to fit. Tried last night and gave up. Have some to install but my post holes are back ordered! Have a good day all. Nice sign Scott, very creative. I love cutting HDU...it cuts like butter.

Glen,

What kind of photo software do you have available? Maybe one of us can help you figure out how to make them work. I use Photoshop which I'm guessing that's out of most people's price range but I have customers who use other software so I might be able to make some suggestions.

Do you have a Mac, Glen?

Hey Glen,

I use Picasa to export photos. Easy to use and free!

here is a job for four street posts we completed waiting for pick up.
these are recycled 6x6 (5.5''x5.5'') brown 8ft tall.plastic lumber, routed copy with resin pour. posts from bedford technologies. selling price approx $1,200 for four posts.
used white one shot in resin pour, could help to mix in some grout probably to help hide the resin from UV degradation but this is not horizontal surface. could have made them fancier, etc. the customer is going to put a wood base with a copper decoration on top of the posts. the recycled posts have so many voids they do not look good when you make the tops fancy with bevels, recesses, etc. unless the customer does not mind the voids for design sake.
For me legiblity is job one unless customer just wants a sign that gives "atmosphere" which i also like but try to strke a balance if possible.

Hey guys, I have CorelDraw. I have tried to resize the photo and I can't get it down to the 50 kb without being so small its not worth the effort. I am going to try Darren's Picsa and we will see. Thanks guys.
