I guess I would think how it will look with the pink machine if indeed you do go with that color on your latest machine. Maybe ought to check with the wife.

She's already seen the burgundy vs. OEM gray and gave me her opinion. (which I'll hold) Ignoring potential future "pinky version", what do you think?reible wrote:I guess I would think how it will look with the pink machine if indeed you do go with that color on your latest machine.

I added a poll to the thread regarding the choice of color for painting the ER. It's between the OEM gray and burgundy shown in post 216. Even though you may have answered in this post already, add to the poll also. The poll shows up at the top of every thread page.

I like the burgundy and voted for it, but if the machines were side by side, the gray wood look better next to the pink, IMHO.reible wrote:I guess I would think how it will look with the pink machine if indeed you do go with that color on your latest machine. Maybe ought to check with the wife.

I was just getting ready to fill the knots in the bench boards with Loctite Instant-Mix 5 minute epoxy. Since the 2 parts (epoxy and curing agent) are both clear, I thought it was going to cure clear but in reading the fine print on the back of the package, it says that it dries to a "yellow translucent solid". Have anyone used this product to know just how yellow are they talking about? I don't want it to stand out like a sore thumb.

I was going to chide you about the wood base and material and finish you were to put on it, but I need not! Nice photo and glorious when it comes to Photoshop; makes it all a lot easier,eh?
BUT what IS that wood base she sits upon? And is it all one piece? Tell me it isn't real!

Anniversary Model 505 to 520 Up grade, with Band saw, Jointer, Strip & Belt Sander, and a catalog of wishes.
I voted burgundy; it just looks nice to me! (Well, that's the color of my car, come to think of it.) Also it reminds me of the neat animated movie, "Robots," I think. Pretty sure the character "Big Weld" was voiced by Mel Brooks. I think the burgundy really makes it shine as a piece of industrial art / industrial archaeology (to use one of Nick's terms). I think mickyd will have no problem attending to any cosmetic touchups needed during use. Burgundy lipstick on a paint-chip now and then.
