General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Where to buy the 2 3/8 inch clock inserts

« on: June 09, 2015, 08:22:45 am »

Do you mean a 2-3/4" bezel for a 2-3/8" hole? If so, Lee Valley has them, with the 2-3/8" drill, here.

Computer questions / Re: Inkscape download

You mentioned TFF files, I believe these are True Type Fonts. Usually they come as zip files but as you call them TFF files, I assume they are unzipped. This http://www.fonts.com/support/faq/install-truetype-fonts-windows-7 will help you install the files - scroll down towards the bottom for a step by step.

These instructions [urlhttp://www.dafont.com/faq.php[/url] from dafont might also help.

Good luck,
Jim

Pattern Requests. / Re: Could anyone help with a photo to pattern

« on: April 25, 2015, 11:51:17 am »

I understand why it is necessary to reduce the space required for the site - to save server costs - but I do miss all the images in the pattern section

Sometimes I would like to take my copy of a pattern that catches my eye, but it I have to go off-site to see even a thumbnail, I'm less likely to take a follow the link. That's me, and I'm sure others follow every off-site link.

Perhaps a compromise could be made, something like reducing the maximum size of any posted image (perhaps even to thumbnail size) with the option to link to a larger off-site image. Then if you are interested, you cold follow the link off-site. Even that requires each poster to have set up an off-site location and some might be able to do that, for one reason or another.

As has been mentioned, I hope a solution can be found.

The Coffee Shop / New Lee Valley hand plane design

« on: April 02, 2015, 08:22:07 am »

Lee Valley is showing a new design/selection system for a custom hand plane. http://www.leevalley.com/US/wood/page.aspx?p=72875&cat=1,230,41182,48944. Don't forget to click the link below the video.

What do you think of it?

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Delta Blade holder - help!

« on: March 27, 2015, 09:55:45 pm »

Brian, the 40-690 and the Dewalt DW788 are identical. If you can find the corresponding part for the 788, it will fit your 690.

Good luck,

Ask Steve a question. / Re: Problem in tha forum

« on: March 08, 2015, 06:00:17 pm »

It seems that, if there is a thumbnail attached to a post, I can click on thumbnail and it will enlarge. If the thumbnail is accompanied by a link to a larger picture, I can open that as well.

BUT, if there is a link but no thumbnail, then I get the error message when I try to open the link. Has anyone else noticed this?

Perhaps this observation will to useful Steve, our hard working, and much appreciated, leader.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: error 404

Deleted cookies and cache, logged out and signed back in but still can't see the image here http://stevedgood.com/community/index.php?topic=18440.0

I do remember that I had seen this particular image when it was first posted.

It was worth a try.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: error 404

« on: March 07, 2015, 08:37:54 am »

It seems some people can see the posted pics and others can't. For example, some can see the pic attached here http://stevedgood.com/community/index.php?action=post;topic=18446.0;last_msg=168850 but I get the 404 error.

I wonder if the problem is related to the operating system, the browser, or . . . .

For the record, I am using Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit and the latest version of Firefox (36.0.1).

I have a suspicion that my problem might be related to Firefox. Is anyone using an earlier version and can you see the attached pictures?
Jim

Edit: But I can see the images in this post http://stevedgood.com/community/index.php?topic=18462.0. Perhaps it has to do with how the picture is attached. In this post there is both the image thumbnail and the link to the larger image.
