Make sure it has the software ability to recognize multiple photos on the scanner glass & list them as individuals.

John, you seem to have forgotten that I'm a Mastodon with this computer crap! I'd be lucky to just scan one at a time and be able to save it like it should be!

It's easier than you think Roy, if I can figure it out, you sure can.

If given the facts about my knowledge with computers as a defense in court Perry Mason wouldn't take the case.

I found an old fish tank on the side of the road for trash pickup. The glass wasn't broken, scratched, or chipped but the silicon was peeling away and the plastic base that keeps the bottom end together was MIA. Well, I couldn't resist the urge to pick it up and do a little refurbishing. I relined the seams with non-toxic silicon, and then I had to figure out what to do about the base. My solution:





This is a pretty tight fit around the base of the tank, and now that it's stained it gives it a fairly nice look if I do say so myself. My only concern is the wood possibly swelling and putting pressure on the glass. Well, hopefully the cross rails I put in the inside will prevent any of that action. And while I was staining that I decided my Arkansas stone boxes could use a little touch up:







They looked unfinished - fooled me. Apparently they did rub tung oil on them or something. The middle pic is where the stain didn't quite seep in right because of it. The last one should be after a good sanding, when the stain seeped in properly.

Turned out a pouch for a Leatherman Wingman, for the kid.

Thanks for looking,,,,
