I see that the storage station is on sale for $199. I have found that this is a great way to compactly store SPT's. For even more storage, I made a 16" x 52" shelf that fits nicely underneath, resting on the leg's cross brackets.

I have the storage station and love it. Do you happen to have any photos of the shelf you made? I'd love to see it if possible.

If anyone orders this while it is on sale, verify what you are to be charged. The online sale price is $238.72.:confused:

This is a good sale price. The casters alone sell for $96.43 a pair and the mounting bases are $28.89 each.

If so you may need to call them and tell them about it. Several times I had ordered stuff with lower prices than what were on the web so I had to call cust service to make sure I got the lower price. Sometimes the web person doesn't always get everything updated correctly.

Since this is an email special, you must visit the sale page to set the sale code. Then you will get the sale price. The email goes out tomorrow, but you can access the sale page from the owner's site.

When multiple sales are going on, the lowest price is given online. But emails run seperate. They are not a site-wide special. They are intended for email subscribers. But I post most of them on the owner's page so that forum members and others can access them.

An easy way to re-size images is to get Powertoys. They have an image resizing tool, and after it's installed, all you have to right-click on the image file and select Resize from the pop-up menu.

I had the same problem and gave up also - then after getting some instruction from forum members - I was finally able to successfully re-size a photo by right clicking on the photo - clicking edit - then the photo is in the Paint Program. From there re-sized it by moving the corners of the photo.

Now I make sure my camera is set for it's lowest resolution and those photos always sized to put on the forum. Although low resolution is not recomended by photo buffs - it works good enough for here.

I finally got the picture re-sized. Note the plywood shelf that I installed underneath.
