11.5 Herreshoff sailing/rowing dingy

[JLMathis]

When I introduced myself earlier, I explained that I'm unschooled and have acquired a partially built boat being built as a rowing vessel. Plans show sailing, but I have a sail boat and really would use the row boat. So here's pictures I hope. I've ordered a couple of books and plan a lot of reading first. The wood is white cedar (cypress around here).

That didn't work. DId it?

The URL is incorrect. You have "http://" twice and no name before the ".jpg".

nope

The picture thing has been a bit of a hurdle for most of us. If you can copy the url of the picture from photobucket and paste it here several of us could work it out real quick.

One common occurence is when pasting the url into the "insert image" icon here, the first "http://" needs to be erased/deleted or you get the two http thing.

You mean this? Nice looking hull.

Here’s how to post photos on this forum:

First - don’t attach photos. Most web forums don’t allow it, and space limitations are the main reason why.

Second - Instead of attaching them to a thread, post the pics on the web somewhere. You have a free website area with any paid ISP’s email account, or use www.picturetrail.com or other free hosting service.

Once posted on the web, right-click the image to copy the URL (web address). Always test first by pasting the image URL into the window of a web browser and see if the image displays.

Remember, the IMAGE URL will end in .jpg, not .htm or html. URLs ending in .htm are the page that the image is at, not the image location itself. If the image URL ends in other code, try deleting everything after the “xxxxxx.jpg” part of the URL to get it to display on web forums.

Third - once posted on the web, try this procedure while logged in to this Forum:

1. Click the “User CP” link in the browser window in the top left of the menu bar.

2. Click the “Edit Options” link about 1/4 of the way down the left column.

3. In the “Misc Options” at the bottom of the next page, select “Enhanced Interface” from the pulldown list.

4. Once this interface has been selected, in any “Reply” window you can click the “insert photo” icon --> a little yellow square icon with the stamp in the upper right corner, the mountains in the lower center.

5. Once the little dialog box titled “Please enter the URL of your image” comes up, paste the URL of the photo in the field.

If unsure of the procedure, test first by pasting the image URL into the window of a web browser.

Thanks for the information. It's been a while and I'll try later. I'm busy reading books now. The language of boat building will take me a bit so I'm in the study mode.

Looks like a Columbia dinghy, with a Fender P-bass in the background.
