Seriously though....it looks rather sterile, it lacks the 'come hither' factor.
I would however be drawn to it if I had a load of laundry...I think I would be scratching my head wondering where the fabric softener reservoir was. (SORRY) >:D

Don't be sorry.

I have been building machines for over 2 years and have prolly done over 70 now.
I have done loads of fancy machines with fancy this and fancy that, but when I finished this machine and stood back to take a look it hit me that the simplistic design is what make this so dam good.
Because its such a small area, to have it covered with artwork or whatever else IMO would make it look busy.
In person the chrome and detail really stand out and I can assure you the 'come hither' factor is alive and well.
And to give a retro machine a face lift and bring to the new generation has paid off because I have just done a deal with a store and they want me to supply another 30 machines, on top of the 40 they have already ordered next year, INDENTICAL to this one for their new stores. They purcahsed the sister machine to this one about 5 weeks ago and that has been shipped to Austrailia for their 1st store there. I am delivering this one to them on the 18th and I have another for sale right now too.
Here is the same machine but it black:
Thanks.
PS, why delete the last post?
Timoe:
The white and chrome is elite.
I wish I could manufacture my own fan covers and glass clips.
I wish I could take an order for 70 machines. I would go on vacation for a LOOOOOOONGG Time. :cheers:

Cheers Timoe,
Coming from a master builder such as yourself means a lot, thanks.
It was a fluke coming across the guy who would let me use his shop and the cover and clips finish the machines off nicely.
As for the 70 machines, its gonna be spread over 12 months so the Vaction isnt coming until next Xmas!
I am sure I will be bored of doing these machines by then :laugh2:
Thanks again.

George Lucas' first movie. Anyone that's watched it will know what I'm talking about; large portions of the film take place in a vast, endless white and chrome world.

Thanks,
I have contemplated painting the door but you know how silver stuff not painted properly can make things look cheap??
Well, thats what stopping me doing it.
Maybe I should just do it?
They are made from a cast so chroming it is out of the question.
I might buy some Silver Metallic car paint while I am buying the black cloth, LOL. Anything else I should add to the shopping list while I'm at it?

not 100 % sure, but i think you can chrome plate cast metal objects...
