    1) Go back to edit, if you still can, and put your cursor to the lower right of each duplicate photo and backspace.
    ~
    2) Note that your comments are split up by the photos.
    You made some change after "chest." and then hit the full image button.
    ~
    If you want to fix it go to EDIT and copy the lines below the photos.
    Then 'cut' or 'backspace' them.
    Then paste them immediately after "chest." with a space.

    Good work!
    Now see what else I wrote for you. :)

    This happens to all of us it's just a matter of knowing how to edit. :)

    Okay, I edited the last post with the same image. I didn't see an edit link for my first post, but the four final pictures are representative of the two chests my grandfather had. The afternoon sun is in my eyes, so that's my cue to take a break soon & come back in an hour when the sun is on it's downward trek:cool:

    What kept the things sorted into all those little compartments from falling in with the larger tools, or vice versa?

    Bronwen, I think there were bigger tools, like a drill holder, and some were attached from above. Let me repost this picture here, that might help explain how he would have done this. IMG_20171229_150509701compressed.jpg IMG_20171229_150458276compressed.jpg

    I understand it now, thanks. Is that crosshatched piece hinged to swing away? Or are those bent nails along the left edge?

    I meant to say I have one or more of these too. The latest doesn’t have its trays and the independent top panel is burned. :(

    Happy to get a full understanding of how the box works. I like stuff like this.

    Here are the three pictures I uploaded the other day. Fisher Body, with my grandfather John, in the background, the altar he made for the church (Catholic) in Freesoil or Manistee, Michigan & John's baptismal certificate. He was adopted by a kind man, setup by his dying dad, who arranged for their mother to have the kind step-dad, that would bring them all to America in the 1880s. john_tomawzewski_fisherbody800by614_identified_by_moo2.jpg 10269433_10201805869135451_4766890103679135867_n.jpg john_tomaszewski_baptismalimage_compressed.jpg
