You should be able to hit the blue arrow button once and type your text in, without extra "Enter" key strokes

It is when I hit "Post" that the text goes and hides, as the photos all slide together and hide the text...

Hitting Enter a couple more times seems to stop that BS...

Hit enter once next time Steve, see what happens, thanks for sticking with it!

By placing spaces between your pictures (clicking the little blue arrow at the lower right corner of each picture) it tells the software to give you a place to enter your text.

I did when I first did this last post...hit once...the text was there, until I hit Submit Reply...then the photos all scrongced up and hide the text....went back and edited it...with the double hit on the Enter key....sometimes an extra whack or 2.....

Hinges: These did not have any counter sink around the screw holes, so..after cleaning this up..

I used that bit to counter sink the Brass Hinges...

Count the turns (18) per hole, to get the head of the screws flush...

Mallet and chisel to dig out a place for each hinge leaf...Hammer to set the pilot hole punch..

We'll see how it looks after all that..stay tuned..

That turned out great Bandit.

Looking like the tops from here. Now just where are you going to put this box? I thought by now you'd be running out of space.
