Quoted from too-many-pins:Two of my favorite things about watching your post here are: You think "outside the box" and you are willing to "take risks". If I were a betting man I would venture to guess 4 hours labor (or more) into doing those legs (or over $200 or labor risked) on trying to do something different.
I think part of the issue with something like those legs is looking at the machine in person with that addition is going to be different than looking at pictures of the machine.
So in the end it really all depends on what the owner thinks but I love it. My only concern would be putting those painted leg bolts on - I know I would mess them up in the process even if I was super careful. Maybe a small bottle of touch up paint should go along with the machine just in case? Or at least some "spare" painted bolts if you still have the paint in your gun?
Thanks Skip
The great thing about legs is that they are easy to use or not use if the results don’t meet expectations.
In this case they will be optional
The bolts stand very little chance of surviving just one installation but were done for effect.
Black will be fine though and much less fragile.
I really think once installed though it is all going to fall together. I normally have a pretty good eye/sense of those things.
Tough to convey with just one non cleared leg thrown on one corner but that is part of the fun.
