Title: Humble Bristol Channel pilot cutter
Post by: sjoormen on September 27, 2025, 09:30:54 am

Hello all I's been a long time since I posted anything here so I do appologise for all errors Iwill made by posting.
Hull is one of the Sarik hobbies ones. Making this boat saved my mind during covid times. I haven't taken any photos during building her. It's a nice build, though deck is a bit off original one. Anyway few photos:

Thanks, may I ask you what is the simplest tool to downsize photos, mine are probably to large as it seems?

I find the free program Irfanview is handy for resizing photos, it has a batch function to convert a number of photos at once. It is also a simple photoeditor allowing you to trim an oversized photo.

The is also a simple way to use the Windows snipping tool on a photo or documents, if you are running windows, and have the Windows key on your keyboard (keyboards do)

Press Windows+shift+s.
A cross appears on the screen. Drag and drop a box around what you want to copy.
The snipping tool dialogue box then pops up.Click on this box and it will open. Then save the file
[size=78%]You can then attach this file into a post on Mayhem[/size]


For other applications, like Word, Power point, and some social media, you can simply:
Windows+poop+s, snip your box, then paste directly into the application.


I find using the snipping tool great for quickly sharing images, although there is some loss in quality.
