This is a picture of my most recently completed box. Its made from elm with a burr elm veneered lid.
Like most of my work, I've used an oil finish for this box.
The box measures 10"2 x 7" and is just under 4" high.

Nice looking box DW. I like the dove tails.

Thanks for the help of the tutorial for posting pics. Is there a way to make pics smaller to post. Some of my pics were to large.

There is but not on the forum. Dowload this free program, it's pretty easy to do:

http://www.irfanview.com/

After downloading open the program and under File hit the OPen link and find the file on your computer. Go to the Image link on the tool bar and select from the drop down the Resize/Resample link. Select the 640 X 480 option on the menu and click ok. Then go to File on the menu bar and from the drop down select save as and either rename it or find the original file and double click it and when it asks if you want to replace the original click yes and you are done. Very easy and great free program. Been using it for about 10 years now.

I finally finished redoing the kitchen cabinets. Cutting some doors and routing some others for glass. That was the easy part. I purchased some Simi Gloss Latex Enamel to paint them with, after sanding and prepping with primer. The paint was on and after more than two weeks was tacky to the touch. So I sanded them again, this time the paint rolled off in little balls while sanding. I finally finished and applied some new paint from another store and within a half hour was dry to the touch. I don't have any idea what was wrong with the first paint. but everything is ok now.
I hope my first try at posting photos goes well.
Take care.
Doyle

Very nice job Doyle

But the next time you want to post something like this you should put it under the Show N' Tell

I've followed the above directions, and everything went smoothly, but when I tried to preview my posting, the pics don't appear. What did I do wrong? The initial posting work shows the files as having been uploaded, but they don't show up on the preview. Any ideas?

**AxlMyk** · 10-12-2007, 03:06 PM

They don't show in preview.
