Now thats sharp. Did you use something on the inside or just do it piece by piece?

That's very nice looking, all that we ever use in the habitat is pvc with a cap on the bottom, then zip tie it to something close.....but then again everything in a habitat is close....., do like that though. Have to look thru some of the photos that I have and see if I've got one of the lads in the habitat.

I bought one of these tungsten totes that Archer tools makes, It has three sections in it - so I put my three different types of tungstens in there. The bottom is a hard plastic so it doesn't marr up the tips. It's really nice for the price!!

Thats pretty nifty ... but @ 1.5 " dia. , it could be a little on the too big side for me . I do like the sectioned design ... would make a great bulk tungsten storage unit .

Find the picture you want to resize and right click on the icon.

A drop down menu will appear, click Edit.

This will open the picture in Mspaint.

In the upper left hand of the screen click on 'Image', then click 'Stretch and Skew'.

There are two field in the Stretch part of the box, a horizontal and a vertical. These will shrink or expand your pic as you want.

I usually punch in 40 in both fields and it resizes them appropriately but you can punch in any number you want. Any set of numbers less than 100 will shrink the photo and any numbers greater than 100 will expand the photo. You also want to make sure you type equal numbers into both fields or it will stretch the photo irregularly, ex. 35 horizontal and 35 vertical or 60 horizontal and 60 vertical.

Also, if you ever want to see the size of a photo you simply right click it and select properties, if the pic is greater 1Mb then it's pretty big. I try to shrink mine down to around 300kB or so. And never save a photo as a Bitmap, they are HUGE files, always choose a Jpeg when you have the option.
