    Guess what this is used for

    I've posted some pictures of what this is in the next thread. Make a guess of what it is used for.

    Since I just posted in your other thread.. I'm guessing a bow and arrow storage box for a school. How close did I come?

    Welcome to the Creek Paul.

    I cheated like Sarge so my guess wouldn't count.....
    Oh by the way great idea for the bows and arrows.

    Paul,
    stating that your message is continued in the "next thread" is useless for us regulars who come on and click on "new posts" or other means of picking up new messages.
    We dont have your "next thread" available to us.

    Sorry for the confusion

    Sorry for making this difficult. I wanted to post the picture of the answer in the same thread but I couldn't figure out how to put them at the end of the tread to give people a chance to make a guess before seeing the answer so I figured I'd just start a new one. I forgot that they don't travel together along the list.
    I tried to put the picture in this thread but it won't let me upload it again. So maybe you can click on this and it will take you to the answer. I'm new to posting pictures so again I'm sorry for the trouble.

    Thanks,
    Paul

    Paul,
    First that is a neat project.
    Second, why not ask the poser one day with the answer to follow the next day?
    That way everything remains in the same thread.
    Third, If you crop the picture slightly, and save as another name, you can reupload it. BTW, simply renaming it does NOT work - DAMHIKT.
    Best,

    BTW Paul.. welcome. Mike is just trying to show you the ropes of how things work here so don't take it personal. When I first came here I was a lost puppy and for that matter... still am in certain cases as electronical devices.. computers.. etc. are not my strong points. As with anything else.. stay alert.. ask if in dout and you will find out what works and what won't. For me.. nothing really seems to work. ha..ha..

    Regards...

    That's interesting.

    I do have a personal fancy for archery. Have you ever made a bow?

    I've never made a bow. What type of wood do you use to make one?
