G'day Bob, sounds like you are enjoying your work.

To load a pic, just below the text box is another with the titles " Filename" and "File comment". Next to "Filename click "Browse" then select the file you want to add. After that click "Add the file" then once that is loaded something else comes up with "Place in line", when you click "Place in line" it will add the file or pic to wherever you have placed the cursor in the text window. Hope that helps, oh add there are limits on file size so you may have to re-size photos with some other software first.

Hey Bob

Nice Uke, that will be my next project when I get my shed sorted. It's great to see that 'Shop' is still being taught in school, they were my favourite subjects and I learnt lots of skills now that I think about it. Without teachers like you I would never have learnt to weld, solder, sheet metal work, use a lathe, use a mill, spray paint, hand tools and lots more. I even remember making a blow mould fish bowl out of acrylic! - I miss school if the 80's, it was a fun time.

I am sure that the kids cant wait to get to school and work on their instruments, keep up the good work.

Cheers

Col

Nice one, Bob. I remember wood shop in the 70's(USA). 8th grade, and got to make a corner shelf....boring......

A guitar would have been awesome....
I wish I was half the man my dog thinks I am....

Cheers,
Nick
