really sorry that I still can't make smaller pics, but here are a few of the MANY sets I have rewrapped in the last 12 years.

Man all those kits look great! I have only re-finished snares in the past. These pics are making me want to look into snagging some orphans and making myself a new set.
Here's a couple of saved kits and orphans.
The first ... the 12 tom and the 20 bass were both saved and rewrapped. It was a neat little kit.
The second ... the bass and the 13 and 16 toms were all rewrapped.
The third ... the snare was a dog so I rewrapped it to match the gold kit.
The fourth ... this kit was seriously toast. I picked it up for a song and rewrapped it in the WMP.
Here's a neat save.
Purchased a Slingy 14 floor for a steal that was ... home jobbed. I got it color-matched and professionally wrapped (don't usually do that). It matched oh so well.
This was a Black Panther kit that had been used and abused. I re-wrapped it with NOS Blue Oyster Pearl.

I see you have a press. Did you build your own? I built one also, But my rollers flex a bit, and I tend to use it more for a holder and still use my hand roller to press the covering.
