Homemade Champagne Flutes & Wine Glasses

[WoodTurner]

Here are my latest creations of home made wine glasses. Sorry for the poor photo quality. I haven't learned to successfully use the slave flash yet. Theleft glasses are Hickory from N. carolina and the right champagne flutes are of walnut.



OK, it uploaded my picture. What did I do wrong posting? Edited by: WoodTurner

OK, lets see if it goes up this time.

Lets see if this makes it.

I reduced the size and it uploaded OK. It appeared in the window on the right and shows up in the reply box. It does not show up in the preview or on the post. What else could it be?

Make sure that your curser is in the message box WERE YOU WANT THE PICTURE TO BE!

i.e. you type a sentence, end it with : (if you wish) then hit enter, your curser is now on the next line were the left upper corner of the picture will be.

DO NOT CLICK ON ANYTHING ELSE! JUST THE PICTURE WINDOW.

If that doesn't work, there seems to be an issue between you and this server. Do you have a fire wall that blocks some uploads?

Edit: I used caps not to yell, but to emphasize the important steps.

Sorry, I see your doing what I posted. Are you sure they are less than 150K ? I don't know what else it could be.

 

[WoodTurner]

Thanks for your patience. I know I'll figure this out sooner or later. I can upload on the wood turning forums I use OK and they are all different from each other. It is uploading so I don't think there is a firewall issue even though I have it turned off.


Oh well, I won't let lick me yet. I'll keep plugging away until I figure it out. I emailed the original pic I was trying to post.

Here is Woodturner's picture. I must say, I'm very impressed.

Have you though about selling these, I'd be interested in a couple.

Wow......... How weird is that. Won't post for me either. I have never had a problem posting. Let me work with it in a program and see what it will do.

I believe it is the "&amp;" symbol in the picture name so try renaming file and remove the "&amp;" and repost to see what happens.

Yup that is it....certian symbols such as () and &amp; will prevent proper loading of pictures.Edited by: masta

 

[jobe05]

You are correct Masta

Thank you for clearing that up. I forgot........ No symbols can be used in the file name.

 

[WoodTurner]

I'll let you tackle the upload system and won't bother you, besides it's basketball peewee practice time for my youngest boy now.


Yes, I have made some to sell. These sets shown are for Christmas gifts, a doctor friend of mine who does free work on me and a family acquaintance that lives in Smyrna, TN(nearNashville) and who put us up for a summer vacation visit. These sets go up to about $100 depending on wood and complexity. I can post a few more of various styles includingsolid wooden goblets.I won't drink out of those even though some people do. I've got a Texas collection of those. A recent auction netted $55 for a simple red oak set. It's kind of a time killing passion of mine toadd uniqueness tothis wine making thing.

 

[jobe05]

THey are very nice and now that Masta has cleared up the picture posting issue for you, post some more.

We also have friends in Smyrna, Tn. Haven't been there in a few years so I guess it's almost that time again for another trip........... No... my friend isn't a Doctor. He's an Airplane Mechanic and if you knew this guy you'd never fly again..........

 

[NorthernWinos]

WOW!!! Nice glasses...very interesting.


Yes...if you use any !@#$% symbol in the name given to the photo....the photos won't upload

 

[PolishWineP]

Northern! There will be no swearing on the forum!

 

[WoodTurner]

Ah yes, the old symbol trick prevented me from posting. I know I'm not that dumb, but rocket science and posting pics have always been a problem for me. I'll put up some more soon and relabel if neccessary.
