And one more what do you think  about the  10 cent  just right  or to big ?

Dang Pat, That looks outstanding.
Great job!!
I think the 10 cent is a tad big. The "Have a Coke" is a bit too small.
You asked :-)

The first thing I noticed whenI saw it on Facebook was the 10 Cents sign. I'd prefer it without that, but other than that it looks great!

I would have gone with a larger 10 cent font and taller casters for the wheels.

Just kidding.  It looks great!!!!

ps who am I to complain about a large   font.

Looks Good Pat,
I dont' mind the 10cent decal, I put them on the lower center of V81's at customer requests and actually like it.. adds something to that very empty space..

Nice work!

  Thanks Everybody  ,  and Yeah I do the same thing John  but this customer  is thinking it is to big  for the machine  myself I think
it looks right .  This morning I was snapping a few more pictures and  I had a neighbor stop by ( he always stopping by and hanging out )
just fell in love with this and said if my customer is not happy with it  he buy it from him and give him what he has into it.

Another job well done Pat!

I too don't mind the 10c size... but I could also do without it.

Is there a reason why the Jacobs are always put on wheels?  When I redo mine one day, I don't think I want wheels on it.
Did they come like that originally?
Having wheels looks too odd to me.

Either way, nice job!

Or just have the wheels sit approx 1/4" below the bottom trim line.  That way it rolls but you don't notice that they are  there.  This wd-5 looks like it sits on the ground but it actually rolls on the wheels.

just my .02

Don't mind the decals at all, think it makes it look less naked. Not crazy about the wheels either though, wouldn't mind them if they were more flush underneath instead of so prominent.

All in all fantastic job Pat!

I think the casters are from the moving dolly. Pat would put on a giant 10 cent decal, and giant Sprite Boy, but never giant wheels
