This is my first attempt at a composite for a dagger my husband, Travis Fry, just completed. It isn't perfect but after a couple of hours at the computer, I began to lose perspective. I still haven't figured out how to keep the reflection of the camera out of the image. I spent a couple of...

mispost This was accidentally posted with my wife's username. Sorry for the confusion.

Would you mind posting a picture of your other setup? I have been playing with my new lightbox with very mixed results. Thank you.

My husband and I spent an hour or so last night organizing all of his old knife pictures in Lightroom. As we looked back on his previous work, we cringed at some of the designs, making statements like, “that’s terrible” or “what were we thinking?” The truth is that the knives he made a couple...

I have a previous, grossly outdated tutorial so I'll try creating a new thread with the same information I'll post here. Here is a brief synopsis: Wordpress + ThemeForest = Awesomeness. This really is the best way to go for knifemakers unless you want a payment gateway on your site. In...

It reminds me of one of those weird pictures that were popular in the '90s where you'd have to stare through them or cross you eyes just right to see the hidden 3D image. They were called stereographic images, or something like that, so STEREOGRAPH is my suggestion.

I just finished this matched set in 1080 with stainless hardware. They've got tapered tangs and matching desert ironwood sawn from the same block by Rob at Bad Dogs Burl Source. The sheaths are my 2nd-4th attempts at inlays, and feature rattlesnake skin from west Texas. It's the first time...

I took a look at the open source GIMP software and it does look like it would be a good free option for photo editing. Though not as a powerful as Photoshop, I doubt that the average home user would be able to tell the difference. Excellent suggestion wncranger.

In most cases SEO is just a catch phrase companies use to get your money. What they are really saying is give me your money and I'll spend five minutes submitting your url and site map to a few of the larger engines and we'll hope for the best results. You can easily do this yourself using...

Dang Frank! There you go, upping the bar again.

Registering your DBA is easy if you need an alternate name and logo. Though I agree that the best branding option for knife makers is just to use your name. It is more recognizable and it makes it easier to find you on the web. I would however set up a separate business account at your bank...

Knives on Demo Site By the way, the great looking knives on the demo site are made by my husband.

I am a graphic artist and have gotten many inquiries from knife makers regarding designing their website. None of them have panned out because most knife makers are quite happy with what they can get for free or almost free. I prefer to work for more than minimum wage but would like to help...
