Can anyone help steer me in the right direction???

I can't see any pictures in any posts. I can tell you that it first happened about 2 days ago and belive me when I say that I touched nothing to alter my settings. I am so computer illiterate that the machines are afraid of me. I really would like to see these recipe boxes, sounds like they would make great gifts.

Thank you in advance.

Not just you Potowner, I can't see them either. Not since yesterday or the day before. I seem to be able to see some pics posted before, but can't tell if it's all of them. Herb did it, so I know it looks awesome--but I just don't know what it looks like.

I found this picture on the Web of a recipe box I liked so here is the prototype of some I am going to make for presents.

The first picture is the one I worked off.

Very nice Herb. I like the way you did the corners. I like the wood too. Is it spalted maple?

@Potowner1, and @greenacres2

Read that and post your problem, others are having problems too, I think the Tinkerers are tinkering with the forum again.

Don, that is my board stretcher, I made the ramping board the same length as the box ends that go inside the sides. So to get the full width to the board I had picked out for the grain pattern, I had to add to the ends.
If you look at picture 2nd from the bottom, top open, you will see that the black line follows up the right side across the top edge and down the left side, just by luck and living a clean life. LOL

This is the Spalted Red Alder.

Nice job Herb... love the spalted wood.

Looks wonderful, I would love it if I used recipe but most of mine are in my head or I just improvise
