    Anyone have a cool Woodworking Wallpaper?

    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?
    Regards,

    Glen

    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

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

    Doc,

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

    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

    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.
