journey333 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Here is how I post images on this site. Go to imgur.com and set up an account. They are free and easy. Or use any site that hosts images, the main thing is a site that will assign a unique web address for the image. Once you are signed in to imgur, you can drag the photos from your finder or computer window and drop them on the imgur window. Or on the imgur window you can hit the upload button and follow the prompts. Once they are uploaded, click on the one you want. It will first bring up a view sort of overlaying the previous window. Double click the photo again and it will take you to that photos own page (unique web address)--you should only see your photo. Copy the web address for the image and go to the IFI post. Then on the IFI post, click on the little photo icon. It should bring up a popup window asking for a URL. Paste the web address in there and hit enter. That should put the photo on the post.

Bentiron1946 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Transfer it to a copper sheet and then acid etch and put it closer to the fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

journey333 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 That is sweet, I have never heard of Hephaestus before. I would hang a copy of this in my shop (once it is built...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judson Yaggy Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Hope these attach, here are some photos of the still standing Temple of Hephaestus in Athens, Greece. Google as needed, amazing history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge9001 Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 How would you go about transfering this image to a copper sheet? would a adhesive mask and etch work well? how well would an electro etch work on copper? Any other ideas how to transfer the image to copper, or any other metal? I want to hear as many ideas as I can get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric sprado Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 My youngest daughter is intrigued by Greek Mythology so keeps me up on this stuff! Her other favorite is Hestia-goddess of the hearth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
