    It's coming out sick. The bottom is going to be extremely hard though. Went with purple crushed velvet. IMG_20140717_170241.jpg IMG_20140717_170246.jpg

    These are stepped photos of the progress. Its extremely annoying to upload files. It won't let me upload most of them as they are too big.

    I always just upload to tinypic.com and it allows you to select the size of the photo.
    Then I just copy and paste the URL link here

    the system only allows pics with a maximum size of 1,000 kb or less. I use The Gimp (free photo editing program) to rescale my pics. Or I take pics of, say, 800 x 600 pixels. More pixels are possible, but this usually suffices for me.

    hey if anyone wants me to email them the pics, and will upload for me that be cool. Feel free to volunteer. Got anothe project today. A New Improved that needs new life. Still have to do the bottom of this box too, but it is't going to be easy and prob take a while.

    When using a PC, I like the freeware program Irfanview. It has an option to rescale your photo. The simplest method is to scale it down by a percent.

    Online, there is http://www.picresize.com/, but I haven't used it.

    Android users can try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xllusion.app.photoresizer

    That looks awesome!
    I assume the razor is not the same though.

    No. the razor i pulled from ebay. it looks better and fits better. It's a silver plated old type. The one that came in that pocket edition I will replate eventually. Only difference between the 2 is the one has a slightly bigger ball end.

    Here is another solution. Fotosizer is a simple bulk resizer and is free.
