huge
ass pictures

i know....i don't know how to shrink them..=/

Holy huge pics batman!! I wish I was a mod I could fix it Cool lookin little bench tho!

dam dude sort the pics!!!!! its killing my cpu!!!!! google a pic resizer mattigan

sorry guys. just gotta wait for danny or kerry =/. sorry

woahhhhhh nice large pics. blosom thats tight, and whatsyourface that bench is cool too

mattigan I think you need to go into your profile and click 'always allow HTML' under preferences, and then those images will show up

umm...they show up fine...they're just huge. can you shrink them please?

dude it wont even work when i copyand paste them????

idk...forget it guys lol. it's just a bench

dude just click the host image thing on here and upload it straight to the forum not through image shack

the code works fine for me so you've obvs got HTML set to off on your profile. You cant shrink with BBCode, or, I don't know how to use it. So, yea. Every time I shrink images I use html and its worked every time for me..

or yea, upload and you can select size to save it as

I try that and select an image and click host it but it never works. And HTML is on on my profile.....=/

it works perfect on mine but a bit slow on bg images resize on photobucket

I copied the html and posted it, clicked preview, and it worked fine. So.. fuck knows >_<
hosting has always worked for me, so, yea.. no idea.
Resize images on your pc before you upload them to what ever you upload with?

if you want to half the size of an image.. open it in microsoft paint, go to attributes in the menu, on 'skew/scale' or something like that set the height and width to be 50, then it'll be half the size obvs any number under 100 shrinks it to that % and over enlarges it.

aw forget it. lol. it refuses to work for me...so nevermind. :x

Blosom i want to skate that so fucking bad....

lol blosom. gl;ad you didnt throw paint on it :L that would have looked uber retarded. looks sick though good job

ok so heres the finished ramp...well...i still need to get some coping and stuff but this is how its staying now....and ablair i used hardboard for the ramp surface, and random bits of wood i had lying around for the rest.... ......

do you think it looks beeter or worse now then danny?

I have to quote this. Its fucking beautiful. Missed it last time I looked with the giant images thing.. So, yea, now I will say, holy fuck. Soo jealous blosom, thats amazing.
How much did that cost/how long did it take?

i cant believe how good it came out too...and it was my first atempt at making a wooden mini....i made cardboard ones like soooo many years ago, but those dont count......so....

i made it on a sunday afternoon, basicly the ramp was all put together, and on monday i sanded it and painted it, so all in all it took me 2 afternoons really....like casually doing it...the wood is bits i saved for the job...the ramp surface were some bits of hardboard that were inside some old drawers i had, and luckily the 2 bits were the size they are now, so i didnt have to cut them or anything...(one of the reasons i kept them, cos i thought they looked perfect for a mini)...the edges, were just random bits of wood that were lying around really, i didnt buy any of the wood or paint, its all stuff i have put aside and saved, ready to make something with one day......the only technical bit was the jigsaw, and i needed a hand getting the surface on, as it needed glueing and pinning at the same time, while somebody held it down, a few nails, and screws, and tacks, rubbed it down a bit with sandpaper afterwards, then painted with some random paint that was in the shed, and bobs your uncle ...i also brushed on some clear lacuer i have, so the paint wont chip or wear away....all in all im quite proud of it, and really pleased i made it

i could probably make another, and im gonna make some more bits and pieces, when the mood strikes me again,........i thought about making some to sell, but tbh, its sooo dam heavy, it would cost a fortune sending it....i might consider making another for someone, if it could be collected, but if i can make one, im sure most people could

for someone like me who has bits of wood handy, and tools i can use, its not so hard/ expensive to make something like this, but if you was going to buy the wood seperatly, i think it would be expensive...........

like i said above, the thing that started this was the inside of the drawers, the two perfect sized bits of hardboard, because it can be bent easy, this old wardrobe i had got thrown out, but i kept the inside of the drawers cos i knew they would come in handy for ramp building .......old furniture/ rubbish dumps/ skips etc, their great places to find bits of wood to use

and thanks for all the nice comments guys

its a sick ramp....yea

sick! Sounds a really rad and very green ramp! Not just the colour, but the fact you recycled lots of things

The wood to make that would cost around £10, hardboard is soo insanely cheap its like 2 quid for a massive sheet, and a thick bit of ply is like 10-15 for an average sized sheet.. and from that you could easily make two minis. The only thing thats stopping me from doing it is the lack of a jigsaw.. if I had a jigsaw I'd save up like £100 and make an EPIC park.

Thanks blosom your so generous!

i dare say you can pick up a jigsaw cheap....theres a really epic market near me every weds, sat, sun, and people comefrom allover, and they ahve some really graet bargains their, thats where i got 4 of those granite tiles from for 1 quid, the same ones as you have, although the first 2 i brought i got from morrisons....id just say keep an eye out for stuff....i dont know what its like down in your part of the world, but here, i could go on a walk to town, and see skips filled with bits of wood, and random bits of old furniture here and there.........another thing with the jigsaw i used was it didnt cut it perfectly square, like afterwards i had to sand it square cos the blade on the jigsaw was wonky and worn out i think, but in the end i got the job done


hehehe danny.......what do you think its worth?
