Hi Shoreman,

I am not sure if its me or my laptops screen but the oics are so dark it is hard to clearly see what is in the pictures. Is there anyway you can lighten those pictures?

[Shoremen]

[Shoremen]

Haha hell ya it is..It fell out of my locker too the 1 day and it chipped the concrete hahaha..And if i remember correctly, the star was easier then the tree lol..Maube cause i was the dumb one who held the branches with 1 hand and tacked it with the other while it was standing haha..If i did them over again, i'd grind all the pieces of the star to make em look pretty =D

haha never thought about it being a big @ss cookie cutter hahaha:o

edit: Anyone have any ideas for the top of the tree..It's just boring with the circled top..The star is way to be for the tree haha..

edot #2: For the star i believe took 2 of the pieces,made a triangle and welded them together..And i just repeated that process and then just put them all together =p
