well although maria liked the gumball machine she didnt really care for the sinclair h c globe!"the edges look all messy"(caulk on outer edges)so i changed the globe and opted for pure.since i had a pure repro sign i figured i would see if i could roll it.heres what i did..... 1st taped off the front to avoid scratches  By oldnfuelish then i went to my shop so i could use my roller.(nice having a sheet metal shop sometimes)  By oldnfuelish did a little at a time tighting up the roller a little each time.got a nice curve  By oldnfuelish few edge chips  By oldnfuelish alittle touch up and done!would i do this with a 100.00 sign?no,but for my little project it worked.

Yeah Mick, Maria is right. It looks alot better with the blue walls. What I really want to know is how do you change a globe with only 1/2" clearance? Do you have to tip the pump? And when are the gum balls coming? Happy New Year to ya. Scott

Mick nice touch. I see you have been watching TLC to do the decorating thing. Who knows what could happen  Sorry could not resist  PS-The sign & pump look better. I have to agree with the boss
