Topic tags/keywords: question thought view size request Oh no not him again….yes indeed. I have noticed something that we ( yes me too ) are all guilty of. We fail to give demensions of what the viewer is looking at. Take a box for instance…is it 20”x15” or 8”x6”. Some are very hard to tell. I will start giving this information myself. Hell put a dollar bill next to it…couldn’t hurt. That’s the way I see it…. -- Odie, Confucius say, "He who laughs at one's self is BUTT of joke". |

I agree. But with inflation maybe a $20 bill would be more accurate. -- " Stubborn tenacity substitutes for natural ability" ANDY |

Is the size different if it laying down or standing up? -- Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com |

Depends on whom is lying down or standing up, Karson. -- Odie, Confucius say, "He who laughs at one's self is BUTT of joke". |

Sounds like a plan. But that’s just my 2¢ (which are approximately 1.5˝ wide by .0625˝ side by side, or .75˝ by .125˝ when stacked one atop the other). -- "Bordnerizing" perfectly good lumber for over a decade. |

I’m revisiting this because I honestly wanted to know what size some of your (Jocks) projects are. You can go back in and edit your projects pages …. please. It just completes the visual effects. -- Odie, Confucius say, "He who laughs at one's self is BUTT of joke". |

A good example of the reason for posting size is Franks latest posting http://lumberjocks.com/jocks/frank/blog/4422 An excellent example of why providing a frame of reference is a good thing. |

Boy don’t I fell silly. I post a box and don’t mention the dimensions and now Odie is having to remind us to include pertinent information. ;-) Sorry for the oversight Odie. And while I feel somewhat sheepish about not including dimensions in my original post, I’m actually really troubled that I agree with you Odie (I hate it when people other than me are right). I like to know the dimensions as well. Good point and thanks for the reminder. -- When you give someone a chance it may well be their last. |

Sorry Russel, It’s just a visual thing with me. It just helps get the whole picture in my mind. I’m not picking on anyone … honest. -- Odie, Confucius say, "He who laughs at one's self is BUTT of joke". |
