June 8Jun 8 Author 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...

June 8Jun 8 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.
June 8Jun 8 Author 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.....
June 8Jun 8 Did you hit "enter" at the end of your line of text, to move the cursor one line down under the text?
June 9Jun 9 Author Ok, fingers crossed ( might be the problemski?) get this caught up, before the Varnish goes on..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..Leaf need to sit flush...connecting the lid to the box was...fun..Stay tuned for part 2...(we'll see how this turns out)
June 9Jun 9 Author Part 2...adding some feet to the base..involve dragging this "mitersaw" out to where I could use it..Stanley No. 346 Cordless Mitersaw. Need to cut some parts at a 45 degree angleGlue and pre-drilled holes for nails...Clamp up, and let sit overnight..This morning, brushed on a coat of the Infamous Witch's Brew Stain...All closed up..vs..All opened up...vs..Occupied...That Nickel Plated Depth stop and wing bolt, looked a bit out of place...Upper right corner. Turned out, it belongs elsewhere..Craftsman No. 3720/Sargent No.79, Type 2....and, yes, it already has a box/case of it's own.Tomorrow, install a fancy label, and a coat of Warm Gloss Poly...and maybe this Project will be done?We'll see how it looks after all that..stay tuned..
June 10Jun 10 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.
June 11Jun 11 Author That is what the New & Improved Storage Bench was built for...Waiting on Varnish to dry...Will give it a rub down, later today...
June 11Jun 11 Author Finish has been rubbed down with 0000 steel wool.Front view,,, and..Back view..and..in answer to the question of WHERE this will be going..I think that will just have to do..close the door..Put the tablesaw away..Need to finish clearing off the Bench, though..And that is the Finale of the Thin Board Project....thanks for looking in!
