Personally, if I asked my kid to help me design it, I would not sell it.  That would be crushing to a kid.  Odds are you will not do another one because projects will be on the back burner.  I would let her keep it and do another one for the next show.  After all, you said it was previously just sitting around.  Let it sit at home and do another one if time permits.
I told her I would give her a percentage of the profits when we sell it. I have another six pull in the shop now that she started taking apart. She likes taking things apart. Lucky for me I have done enough of these that I know howl they go back together. So we should have hers done this winter. She really wasn't wild about the cream color. She wants hers white not the cream color.
The graphics are decals and not painted on.
Matt the asking price is $5,200. I know that sounds high, but a lot of work And planning goes into something like this.  happydrinkers

That's cool that she helps in taking it apart.....now you have to teach her how to put it back together without spare parts. laugh

Great work Rod, it's not so much the machine it self, it's the working together with your kids, that's what they will remember... the time spend with them. I did a few wood projects with my kids when the where younger and 10 years later they still remember them very fondly and with greater detail then I ever could.

Looks great.  Figure out a way to make it up to your daughter and try to get 6 grand for it.

I see them on Ebay for big $$$ and I figured someone was just praying for that one person to come along and really want it bad and money was no object for them....I know the time that goes into them, I just didn't think you could get the money out of it...

I'd have no doubt he could get that from one.. I'm sure the ones that curtis has done, with the M&M theme would be that if not more...
I bet it will sell no problem , as it's unique and cool!
