Spike-A-Pike Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Hey TU Members, I invite you to give the Member Submitted Tutorials (MSTs) a look and see some of the progress made so far. We are just getting started in this area and I hope to get it back to its formal glory. If you suddenly get a PM from Spike-A-Pike, you'll find out that I may be trying to draft you for something I saw you post on the site and would like to add to the MSTs. I have also had a member or two ask if they can submit an entry - for anyone wondering what the answer to that question is, let me answer that for you right now... YES! Please feel free. The MSTs format is changing to the Portable Document Format also known as PDF, and I'll convert them when they are ready to be posted. I can work with MS Word, MS Works, ANSI text, PDF, html, and some WordPerfect. Common MST elements can include: Materials required list Tools required list WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, NOTES – Any SAFETY related information is always the first concern. I don’t think any of us wants to see anyone injured if it could have been prevented. If it makes sense to remove a watch or wedding band rather than risk loss or damage of a finger or limb, let’s do it. If you should be wearing a dust mask, respirator, eye protection, face shield, gloves, apron, etc., please address it. You are the Subject Matter Expert and I will rely on your recommendations. Step order (always default to a beginner’s sequence) Tips. Pictures and Photos: My preference is JPEG format; it seems to always look pretty good both in print and on a computer monitor. I can also work with GIF and BITMAP. If you have something else, let me know and I’ll see if I can find a converter. And finally, if there is something in an existing MST that is incorrect or a safety matter that needs to be addressed, please bring it to my attention and we will get it resolved. Thanks for all the support to date. If there are any questions, but you don’t want to post them in this forum, please feel free to send a PM or email. Ask my friends, I don’t betray secrets. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KcDano Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Just visited the tutorial section, fine job your doing, Bruce. The pdf format is nice! If you haven't given this some consideration already: the sticky at the top of the Hard bait forum featuring Crawchuck's slip mold procedure would make a good candidate for the tutorial section. Thanks Again, for your efforts! Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankee jigger Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Love the tutorials. Its funny how much i dont know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Dan. The simple part was grabbing it, putting it into MS Word, and converting it to PDF. Now all I have to do is make sure I don't loose the comments after I get it posted. Maybe I should get redg8r to do an entire site backup before I give it a try. Yankee Jigger. The cool thing is I learn something new just about 2 or 3 times a day around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hazmail Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Bruce, I had a look today and noticed you have spruced one of mine up considerably, looks very Pro. Great job on the whole section. Thanks mate. pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Thanks Pete. I think our Site Admin was busy there... I have been trying to get your name in the credit, but haven't cracked the code yet. But, we're getting it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hazmail Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I know you must be flat out Bruce, but it just occurred to me , "power point" would be an easy way to add captions to pictures, and reduce text, are uploads of this possible/allowed? pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Pete. MS PowerPoint is a good program, but I don't think it's the answer. If somebody would want to do it that way, I could reformat it into the TU MST format... yup, we have our own style. The current goal is to put MSTs into the current online user format or new PDF format. This way, people can download them and read at thier own pace. If there is anyone attending the TU meet April 25-27, 2008 that would like to work on a MST during that time, let me know. We can figure out what we'll need in the way of materials, equipment, etc., and do it there. There's nothing we can't do with enough lead time.

Thanks Again, for your efforts! Dan After some thought and a little creativity (something that seems to be disappearing lately) I was able get Crawchuck's slip mold tutorial loaded in the MST forum...

hazmail Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I have been reading redg8r MST on reducing pictures, this is probably a stupid question but what does "&Amp" mean- It is all through it and I have seen it in other tutes too. pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The term "&Amp" is actually a piece of coding that some how comes to the forefront of the test or software coding. It shows ut shen someone attempts to save a few strocks in thier typing using "&" for "and". It's just a computer, not a smart machine... (hee-hee) Don't worry, I haven't been every where yet, give me a few more months... Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike-A-Pike Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Vman... I'm surprised at you, using that kind of talk in polite company. Excuse Vman everyone... I'm sure he's sorry. PLEASE forgive him. "ut shen"? Looks like a fat fingered typo, not to be confused with fatfingers. Is it beer-thrity yet?? All this and my cheese has a blue spot on it...

Kribman Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 I think when ever someone refers a new member that is asking basic questions about shaping and general lure construction, the first thing everyone should do is point them to the tutorials.

philB Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Hi Bruce The tutorial section is coming on great. Are the tutorials copyrighted ?? If not it might be an idea to do so as someone is bound to take advantage. philB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatfingers Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 ut shen"? Looks like a fat fingered typo, not to be confused with fatfingers. Hey, hey, hey! I'm wandering around in here minding my own business and I come upon this?? A true fatfingers typo looks more like this: "Type O" ...It is a masterful mis-key, a glorious foe paw (yea, you heard me..."foe paw"), a mystical mal-enunciation of the digital intentions of the man, whose "hands felt just lke two balloons." ... And don't you's boys ever fergit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
