I think it looks much better, a definite improvement over the first. I like the way the brass buttons look, but I much preferred the snaps, functionally speaking. Much easier to fasten and unfasten.
Below you can find an album with pictures, as well as a few comments detailing most of the process. I meant it to be a comprehensive tutorial, but during the process I subconsciously thought some points obvious and didn't document them. Seeing the completed album, I realize some steps are missing. If anyone has any questions I will gladly answer them, to fill in the gaps.
You can find the album here.
Hope you guys enjoy,
Bear
