casting enclosures

exurbia · 14th December 2003, 02:51 PM

Hi guys and gals,

just thought i'd put up some pictures of my 5 sided cast boxes.
I've borrowed a digikal camra. The little grey boxes are the cast ones.

How did you go about casting them? Did you build a forge?

No No No, I cast them in an polyester and carbon fibre mix, I still can't resize the photos. And my children are not here to do it for me

A friend has told me to convert from bitmap to gif, but i can't work out how. Any help will be welcome and will result in pictures.

Load the pics in windows paint (start/programs/accesories/paint) and go to the file tab, choose save as, and in the "save as type" box choose gif or jpg, jpg is better for pictures, gif is better for line drawings/plans.

Not only are the files too big, but you probably have too many pixels. Load up the image in Paint, then Select All and Image/Stretch it down to 480 x 320. Then save as JPEG and you will be able to upload a <50K file.

if they are not too big, you could email them to me, and I'll resize them, then host them with my ISP, then attatch them to a post...

lol
