I am not sure this is the best location for the decal but it will have to do.

The only issue I had was a small bit of apprehension about getting it on straight, and its close enough for me. Had to develop a plan as I'm not good at this sort of thing and it has gotten worse in older age.

The small disappointment was that the sticker had a small flaw. I was almost going to stop before putting it on and order a new one but then it is likely that this is going to be as good as it gets from shopsmith and from me. The next owner can get a new one or live with it.

See if you can see it. It's a spot. The ripple down the middle is the shadow of the roof overhang is not there in real life.

So the moral of part of the story is if you buy the decals check them out if you can't live with a flaw like this. I had over looked it until I was cutting it out in preparation of placing it.

Is it the tiny little spot at about 3:30? I don't think I would have noticed it if you did not say there was a spot to look for. I think the decal looks great. :)

Excellent job, Ed.

Ed, where can we order these?

I need about 10 of them.

(Oh, looks GOOD! I can cover that spot.
Or, not.)

I am sticker placement challenged so what I do is spray some slightly soapy water down first and that allows you to slide the sticker around til you get it positioned right then squeegee it in place, learned that trick from a body work man putting on those fake woody wagon stickers Waaaay back in the day, just make sure to use VERY light pressure on the sticker until it is in position.
Hope that helps next time.
