I just tried to post a couple of images in my post about the Malaysian blackwood....I, apparently, have no idea how to do that!!! All that came up were the references to the two files, at the end of my message. How does one go about posting the images so they show up in the post? (I feel kinda dumb....) |

Kathy, in the post section, click on the picture of the tree with the up arrow. You can then upload your picture to the site and it will embed in your post. The pictures need to be less than 150K. |

scroll down to where your replying to a post and click on the blue link that says "forum codes" that will show you. Or you can use the little button that shows a tree and an up arrow to upload an image here, without having to have your own hosting. Good to see ya round Kathy! |

That's what I did, two times now -- I did click that button, then hit the "Browse" button on the "Image Upload" window that pops up. I chose my two files, but still nothing happened. All it does is put some references to my two photos at the end of my message. No photos show up. What am I doing wrong? I will try again..... |

Kathy, You hit the little tree with the arrow on it right? Jeff |

Hi Kathy, as was said above, select the green up arrow and the little tree icon for an image upload. 150 KB max. What kind of files do you have? Plus... if these pics are already on the web, you may simply reference the location with the tree icon, which is an http:// reference and will load the pic into the thread as it is viewed from the third party host. Good luck, Bruce |

Kath!! Your references don't show up in the edit portion of the post. If you want to see if they're there, just click preview post and a popup will show you what you have! Is this "THE" Kathy Matsushita? Billy Dean Thomas |

Kathy, I think they must be .jpg images, also. check what type of file it is, you might have to convert it to .jpg. Ron |

Hey, all --- I finally did get it to work --- I'm not quite sure why --- the only thing I can figure out is that it seems as if you have to make sure to hit the [Return] and put the cursor on a new line (where it says "[IMG]"). That's the only way I got it to work. Anyway, thanks for the help!!! Oh, yeah....Billy T....I guess I must be "THE" Kathy Matsushita (of course, how many Matsushitas are there around????)....I guess you're talking about the website, huh.... |

[quote]I guess you're talking about the website, huh.... [/quote] Oh Yea! I feel like I know you already! When I first started looking for info on building, your site was one of the first I ran into! It seems everybody knows of Kathy M! I love your site! Your a Star! Billy Dean Thomas |

A "star", huh? I'm not so sure I'd say that. I think the appeal of my site is that it's not intimidating to people just starting out, because I show all my mistakes (and there are plenty of those), yet things still turn out okay. I still feel quite the amateur, compared to everyone else here and elsewhere, and am always surprised when people email me with questions, thinking I know a lot more than I actually do!!! Anyway, thanks for the kind words, Billy T!! |

The fact that they then get a polite answer to their question, just adds to the image. The one-to-one relationship is also far less daunting than plunging into a forum like this one for the less confident. Colin |

Thanks Colin for describing so well what probably most of us newbs had a hard time expressing, what you wrote is so true that i can now lay it to rest for either Kathy, Mario and Charlie Hoffmann and can now see them as just great ordinary people just like us instead of "stars" which probably make them uncomfortable at times especially when you know how humble they are. Thanks again Serge |

I love looking at your site. This is my first summer as a teacher, so looking at your summer projects has a completely different appeal to me now (i.e. wondering if you get desperately bored, too). |

LOL My dear Kathy if it had not been for your sage advice I am not sure I would have made it through my first scratch build more less 22 commissions. Hold your head high girl you are a legion among small shop luthiers whether you admit it or not.

Hi Kathy...and yes, you're relatively famous. Yours was one of the first sites I visited, too...WAAAAY back. Here's hoping you find time to visit us more. |

Thanks, everybody, for all the kind words -- it really makes my day! Just thought I'd let you all know that, if you've been reading the "Mixing back and side woods" thread, I just now finished bending the Indian rosewood sides. The jig I made up (seen somewhere in this forum) really worked like a charm!!! (Of course, the rosewood is always pretty easy to bend anyway.) I'm letting it all sit until later on tonight before I see how it all turned out.... If you want to see what I've done so far, take a look: Grand Concert Cutaway James: You're a teacher? What do you teach? (I teach high school English, usually freshmen.) Aren't summers wonderful????? |

Hey Kathy Unofficially, yes. I still need to pass part of the CSET for single subject english, but I spent last semester as a special assistant to the vice principal of an at-risk elementary school. I spent the day interacting students, going to classrooms when students were acting up, and doing discipline light discipline like detention and home calls. I'd also cover classes when teachers needed to do special training and generally tried to play with the students at recess. I'll be getting my credential in single subject english, but my goal is to be a vice principal. I hate the summer so far. So bored! Although I've been doing light freelance work, completing some last websites. |

Kathy, That's a really nicely done build document. I especially like the detailed way you draw your plan. Leaving nothing to chance is a good thing! |
