Anyone have a cool Woodworking Wallpaper?

[Glen Blanchard]

I'm configuring a new laptop and thought it would be kinda cool to have a woodworking related wallpaper on it. Anyone have a source for such?

[Matt Meiser]

If you are a Festool fan, they have some here (http://www.festool.de/artikel/artikel_weiterleiten.cfm?id=2686).

[Bill Huber]

Glenn, you can use any picture you want, just right click on it and slide to Set As Background and that is all there is.

You could use a picture of one of your own projects or just about anything you want, the larger the better.

I sometimes use the Studley Tool Chest as wallpaper.

I think you can download the wallpaper of it on the fine woodworking site

[Bert Johansen]

Glen, send me an email and I'll reply with a couple nice ones.

[Mike Langford]

I took a picture of my shop (interior view) and downloaded it and use it as my wallpaper.....

.....If you like I could send you a interior shot of my shop! :D:D:D

Thanks Bill, although I am aware that this can be done, I was hoping to get a bit more....shall we say "refined".......image. :)

I just set this as mine today, amazing. It is good for a look every now and then to look a the tools. That guy must have been a heck of a slacker...

Scan a copy of an Lee Valley Tool catalog. They have awesome photos of tools and such on the front of every catalog.

Lee, They would be great huh. Be nice if they had them on their web site so we could copy them.

Doc,

Has to be 107.8 KB or smaller which is pretty small for desktop wallpaper. You could email it though.

[Joe D'Attilio]

I think this is all the wallpaper anyone needs

I contacted Lee Valley customer service and they sent me the following:
Thank you for your e-mail and your kind remarks about our catalog covers. Currently we do not offer computer wallpaper packages, however you are able to view catalog covers from the last 30 years on our website. We have included a direct link below to where you can find them.


Lee Valley (http://www.leevalley.com/home/page.aspx?c=1&p=57689)

We look forward to hearing from you again.
Thank You,
Daniel O'Connor

I also found the attached photo at their site that would make a nifty wallpaper. You can right click on any of their covers, view the image alone and then save the image to your computer.

[Daniel McCurdy]

Maybe try running a google image search based on whatever you like. The nifty size option lets you choose the extra large or large option which would work well for a desktop wallpaper.

Here's a nice big burl pic:

Don that is so cool. My wife is going to get a real kick out of that when she sees it as my wallpaper.:D

Fred, I made it for the wallpaper for the computer I have out in the shop. The first time my wife saw it, she just shook her head. My son (3 y/o) calls it the yankee shop 'puter.

Be well,

Doc

[Ken Pywell]

What about a nice Wayne Anderson plane or others in that stratosphere?

[Craig D Peltier]

Glen,

Check out this link. The Manufacturers and Builders Newspaper from the late 1800's has some very nice drawings of antique tools, machines and more.

In 2004 I made a SawMIll Creek calendar with pictures from this site. Make sure you select the high-res pictures.
