Interest in welding covers?

If you ever need another motor for the sewing machine I have 4 of them 220V-240V complete with clutch and mount.

Sorry for ignoring you Dave! I sort of scanned over your comment quickly when I replied (since I was in a hurry) but I missed your key points and questions. You're absolutely correct about finding the correct green color. Attached is a pic of the Green vinyl I have and it's certainly not a perfect match to Everlast green. The other pic is my Juki machine. It is a walking foot industrial machine that will handle anything I need to sew. I modified the stock treadle (by removing it completely and throwing it away!), and a stock Chrome Harley brake pedal now operates the linkage for the electric motor. All the mounts and brackets are 1/4" angle iron or flat bar that I welded and shot in grey primer. I made a custom "floor pan", complete with a floor hump and black carpet, but I have yet to install it. I always wanted to fab a Model A or '32 style dash at work to make it look that much more like a 50's hot rod, but again, other things came first.



That would be very cool! I would love to have access to measure every Everlast machine so I could produce covers for any model of welder, but I'm still not sure how well these will sell in the first place. I'm not looking to make 10,000 of these things, even if there is that much interest. If it's easier, you can take pics with a tape measure attached to your welder. Welders sure aren't the easiest thing to measure out with all those knobs, cables, leads, and odd shapes in the casings! My 160 STH has a slight crown to it on the end caps (front and rear panels), so I'm sure the others have unique shapes and styles to them too.

Sorry I haven't posted pics of the promised welding covers but my hands are yet again giving me nerve trouble with the cold weather, so I've been lounging around (and pulling my hair out with cabin fever!). I really don't want to find out what stitching my fingers together would feel like! I was dumb enough to leave my digital camera in the garage overnight with a low temp of 39 degrees, so I have to wait for it to dry out anyways before it can take pics (this has happened more than once believe it or not!). I've had more trouble with cameras, MP3's, and my old cell phone over the years...I think they call that being technologically challenged.

Thank you for thinking of me, but the motor on my machine is brand new (and therefore, SHOULD last quite a while...shouldn't it?).
