OK You guys have to let me know about these things, I see pictures.

-- Todd A. Clippinger, Montana, http://amcraftsman.com

OK now they just dropped off.

CRAAAAP!

-- Todd A. Clippinger, Montana, http://amcraftsman.com

I don’t know wheter to laugh or cry with you.

Give me a link to your Flickr page, Todd. Let’s work this out.

Running over to Flicker, it says they were deleted…

I am looking at them in Flickr but they are on “private” for me only and they are not acting the same as I try to copy them. The text looks totally different than the first time in the HTML box.

-- Todd A. Clippinger, Montana, http://amcraftsman.com

That would explain it. Posting explicit content, eh, Todd?

NO NO NO!

Make the pictures public Todd. If you right clock on the smaller picture and get it propertiesthen you post a smaller picture in LJ. If you click on the picture in Flickr, you get a larger picture. If you click properties they are different than the other picture. They are larger in LJ.

-- Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com

OK do you see pictures now?

-- Todd A. Clippinger, Montana, http://amcraftsman.com

I am seeing pictures.

Of course I have been seeing them the whole time anyway.

-- Todd A. Clippinger, Montana, http://amcraftsman.com

I’m seeing the first two.

-- We must guard our enthusiasm as we would our life - James Krenov

Todd I see the first two but not the third one.

-- Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com

I posted them as a “medium” and it seems to be a reasonable size.

I did make them “public” in Flickr.

-- Todd A. Clippinger, Montana, http://amcraftsman.com

OK-I just reposted the 3rd photo. What do you guys see?

-- Todd A. Clippinger, Montana, http://amcraftsman.com

Seeing all 3 now.

-- We must guard our enthusiasm as we would our life - James Krenov

Is life good now?

-- Todd A. Clippinger, Montana, http://amcraftsman.com

Got all three.

-- Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com

MY WORD! This is just too hard.

-- Todd A. Clippinger, Montana, http://amcraftsman.com

You got it…

-- We must guard our enthusiasm as we would our life - James Krenov

Got an extra biscuit Wayne?

I could use one.

-- Todd A. Clippinger, Montana, http://amcraftsman.com

Wayne, did you notice that my wife and I love dogs? Cookie and Bella are both pound puppies.

-- Todd A. Clippinger, Montana, http://amcraftsman.com

OK- I think the lesson here is that the photos in Flickr have to be on the “public” setting.

-- Todd A. Clippinger, Montana, http://amcraftsman.com

Oh…there ya go.

I have a new box of biscuits if you want one…. Bacon flavored I think.

I did notice that you love dogs. Lots of love for dogs and birds around here… Also, wonderful looking group of grandkids. I will be head into that zone in a while. Hopefully not too soon. Daughter is 18.

I load all of my photos as public. Seems to work well.

Thanks for coming back MOT.

Thanks for steering me in the right direction Wayne and Karson.

Thanks to the many others that have tried many times to help me get it, I can’t believe it took this long to figure it out.

-- Todd A. Clippinger, Montana, http://amcraftsman.com

I see all 3 photos but for some reason I feel exhausted. Happy but exhausted.

-- Better to say nothing and be thought the fool... then to speak and erase all doubt.

Good to see you Chip. I am exhausted too.

I was close to throwin’ in the towel again. This has just escaped me for so long. It really became the bane of my existence.

-- Todd A. Clippinger, Montana, http://amcraftsman.com

Good to see you again too. With an excellent family like that, you should never let something this trivial get you down. Great to see you rose to the challenge though. Congrats.

You had your mind all filled up with sugarplum woodworking projects. Right brained. Martin’s posting requirements Left Brained.

-- Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com

Me thinks I am just pea-brained.

-- Todd A. Clippinger, Montana, http://amcraftsman.com

But you do good work.

-- Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com

now wasn’t that rewarding!!! :)

Definitely worth it from our end—what a wonderful family: wife/grandkids/pooches.

Thank you for taking the time to make it work!!!

-- "Functional WoodArt" by Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

I got all three. Great looking family and pets. ;^)

-- Jesus is Lord!

Hurray!!!

I got all three but I thought they were your kids. I must really be old.

Ain’t nuthin’ better in this whole wide world than sinkin’ your teeth into a hugh, greasy Diner burger! Just don’t tell your doctor! It seems that every other town has one of those 1950’s diners…glad to see you frequent yours!

All your pics came out OK. I like your shop layout but tell me…Why is it that all us wood monkeys have a nice shop where we can turn out some real nice projects, but none of us have ever finished the walls? I can still see areas of my shop with exposed insulation. I see others with sheetrock up and maybe even some mudding done…but that’s as far as it got! I think I’d love to be able to finish mine some day! Some day!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

Dadoo’s right about the walls. I can’t help myself. The nature of a bird is to fly. The nature of a woodworker is to not finish his walls. The really bad part is that I have sheetrock waiting to be hung.

“The cobbler’s children never have shoes” applies to the rest of my house. Now that I publicly admit it, I am awash in guilt. My poor wife.

-- Todd A. Clippinger, Montana, http://amcraftsman.com

Oh Todd. If you could see all the projects that are incomplete in my house… (we can’t anymore – except in pictures) yet my wife is happy I’m taking Nov and Dec off from doing house projects! By the time I get back to them I’ll have lost some of the things i need in the clutter. Gotta go down and clean up the shop – that’s not housework, that’s woodworking (prep).

There’s a great old fashioned diner in my college town – great food. great coffee. loved that place.

Good looking family you’ve got there.

LOL – Peace, Love and Woodworking! – I have sooo stolen that line! and now my many nieces (nine)are mad at you Todd, cause thats what I say to them all the time now – they’re all sooo “hip” – I even came up with some “gang” sign so that even across the soccer field they know what Uncle Mark is saying….they just shake their head…LOL! (I crack me up!) –
Thanks for the line! (you have a beautiful family and your priorities are in the right place!)

You are more than welcome to use it, that’s the love.

-- Todd A. Clippinger, Montana, http://amcraftsman.com

Schroeder, we need to see the sign that goes with that.

-- Todd A. Clippinger, Montana, http://amcraftsman.com

Told my house mouse I wanted to finish the garage walls and she said, “Not until you’ve finished the upstairs bedroom!” Well, that’s finished and now she wants to know when I’m gonna install the window seat with the lateral file drawer, cabinet and bookshelf unit in the den….(sigh!).

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

DOH’!!!

I always tell my clients, the husbands that is, “When momma’s happy, everybody’s happy”. I learned that from a wise, old, happy man.

-- Todd A. Clippinger, Montana, http://amcraftsman.com

Well done Todd. A nice looking family. Nice to see you back with us again.

-- Bill, Turlock California, http://www.brookswoodworks.com

great photos, and a good reminder for everyone.
Glad to have you back posting. Are you back home in Montana now?

-- Mark DeCou - Kansas Flinthill's Artisan

Nope, still working in Ohio. This is definitely my last work trip. I will deliver or ship pieces out, but I am not working out here anymore. It’s not worth being away from the family.

-- Todd A. Clippinger, Montana, http://amcraftsman.com

Todd, the Cooper project will still stand as a one-of-a kind, super high end example of fine homebuiding. Can’t blame you for wanting to be home, though. Like Tom it’s hard to believe those are your grandkids!

I also want to see Schroeder flashing the gang signs. I’d put it on an update of his (and Cronk’s) shop tour. Fun.

((what’s the gang sign???))

- Peace, Love, & Woodworking!
