Ok, here's the finished block. The strange shape of the magnet is just that, it's a strange shape. I got it out of a hard drive.

Speaking of making things lighter....
Vinny, could you do us all a favor and reduce the size of your pictures before you post them? Several members have slower internet connections and I imagine some of these pics are bringing their computers to a grinding halt when loading a page. I've got high speed DSL and it still takes several seconds for the pics to come up.
As an example your original picture above is sized at 4,128 × 2,322 pixels. That's huge for most monitors. Resizing your pics to something like 1024 x 768 pixels will display here just as well, but will load much more quickly and cause you fewer problems also. I resized that picture of the book that you posted the other day because the software couldn't handle it and turned it sideways.
No big deal, I just thought I would mention it so you don't run into that issue again.

no problem. how's that? Oh, and according to gimp the book was rotated so it un-rotated it.

I tried posting the original pic again and it came out sideways again. A minute later it turns up resized and straight up.
You work FAST Vinny!
And like Dave sez..... Perfect.

I thought I had adjusted the settings so it automatically resized large pictures to a smaller size. I'll take a look at the settings and tweak them if necessary.

I have a action (macro) set up in photoshop that auto adjusts the levels and re-sizes them to 600 x 450, saves and then closes them, bringing up the next in the cue. All with the touch of a single button

You did Ed, and it was working when the pics showed up on a page, but it took awhile for them to scan. That is the only reason I noticed it. If I clicked on them to open them up and view them at full size, they were six screen pages tall and equally as wide. I'm running a 1440 x 900 screen resolution.

OK, so it must resize them after the fact then.

The problem is I've been using my fone instead of my camera. The software for my camera does the resize, I never paid attention to how big the pics from my fone were coming out. After looking at them with gimp I saw that Willie was right about them being a tad bit on the large side.
