Hennie Posted February 11, 2016 Share #1 Posted February 11, 2016 Well, my first building log!! I started building my Aggy about 5 years ago, but by several circomstances I stopped building for a few years. For a year now I work every day one my Aggy. Plenty of time (retirement). I still have to figure out how to attache photos of my Agga. All fotos are 6-8 mb, so far much. mtaylor, Piet, edmay and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juhu Posted February 11, 2016 Share #2 Posted February 11, 2016 Hi Hennie, simply resize the photos to lower size. No need to use special tools, even basic free picture viewer (e.g. IrfanView) will do the job. Advantage is you can use there "Batch conversion", so all the photos are processed together with one click, after you preset desired properties. For the web presentation 100% sufficient. Example of the short "How to" : http://www.maximumpc.com/irfanview-batch-resize-images-2014/ Sjors, Hennie, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote "A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor."

Hennie Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share #13 Posted February 15, 2016 Thx all for your very kind words. I finished the lower gun deck and I am quit satisfied how it looks. I started with a real challenge today: the prow. Well, the parts didnt fit at all. What's worse, I ruined several parts and had to create them again. I was happy I didn't throw away the peaces off wood I had left. When I have my camara back ( which I forgot on my brothers birthday) I will take some pictures. But you will have to wait for 2 weeks more . Hennie mtaylor, Piet, Elijah and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant wait to see your Aggy. @ John Thx John for your kind words. I do my best and its my biggest hobby. I dont know if its correct English but I put my soul in it if you know what I mean. @ Piet Thx Piet. I try to make as many pictures as possible. I myself follow almost all Aggy buildinglogs. And all these pictures kept me from making the biggest mistakes. And these pictures are also very important because not everything is to find back at the drawing sheets.

Hennie Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share #26 Posted March 20, 2016 Time for the next update. I finished planking. Just oiled the last deck. The wooden parts arround the stairs were difficult. You have only to look at it and it drops apart. Feels like playing with firematches. Wile planking I had to refix these parts about 10 times....
