You must first load them to a photo website, such as Photobucket. Once loaded there, open your bucket where the pictures are stored. Then when you place your mouse cursor on a picture, in the upper right corner a little gear icon will appear. Place your mouse cursor on that gear and a drop down menu appears. Click on the second line down that says share links. Then another menu appears, you want to click on the bottom line that says IMG code. When you click it, the word copied appears for a couple seconds. Leave photobucket open and come back to tradgang and in here where you type your message, right click then click paste and it pastes the url for the picture in here.

Clear as mud huh? LOL.. It's really pretty easy to do.

thank you Roy I will try to follow your detailed instructions I really appreciate your help.

Have you used photobucket before?

[arrowhead archer]

No and I can't get pictures from Hotmail to photobucket even though I'm signed into photobucket

[Roy from Pa]

The pictures need to be saved on your PC before sending them to photobucket.

now that I figured out how to post the pic's with help from Roy can I heat the tips to get the build in deflex as it were out of the tips

Man, that's one snaky, beautiful piece of wood.  Bet it's a tough one to tiller but it looks like you're getting there    

I remember being frustrated as hell the first time I tried getting my photo's to and from Photobucket.  My wonderful daughter, who was in grade school back then, showed my how to copy and paste.  
They had a whole roomful of Mac's at her school and she knew way more about how to use them than I did.  Still does.

Good luck on your bow.

ya I been squinting to try and see the flat spots but that's tough also but I'm taking it slowly

Never worked with yew before so I don't know how well it responds to dry heat.  If you have a scrap piece to practice on first, I think that would be the way to go.

Found this old post where some of the veteran bowyers said that yew responds well to dry heat.  I'd still practice on a scrap piece, but that's just me.  Looking good so far.

I ruined a stave once using a band saw so ever since I use hand tools so there isn't anything bigger than shavings to test on so I'll try the dry heat

[Roy from Pa]

Good job on the pictures..    Nice bow.

[arrowhead archer]

the dry heat worked great got both limbs straight as far as string follow was concerned

Good to hear it.  Make sure to post pictures when you get 'er tillered.
