Note about Big Sky Woodcrafters...
Although they came highly recommended to me, I have never bought anything from them. However, given the opportunity, I most certainly would. Here's why...
In January or February of this year, I contacted BSW about doing some custom wooden trophies for me. Due to cost restrictions, I needed these made from MDF with applied paper veneer (cheap yet nice). This was going to be a once-per-year purchase of $500 to $600 per order.
I sent a picture or sketch of what I needed to Lisa. She spent a couple of days talking to me, and struck me as incredibly professional.
Because BSW deals in solid wood products, and not MDF, she refered me to another company. She said that these other folks were top-notch, and would take very good care of my order. In the end, BSW didn't make a dime for the time she spent with me...and didn't infer that I should buy something to help "make up" for that time. I was quite impressed with the way the whole thing was handled.
In my not-so-humble opinion, Big Sky Woodcrafters (from the customer service viewpoint) would be a fantastic company to deal with.

Hmmm...This should be interesting.
A forum member develops a product that should be of high interest to the laser engraving crowd and wants to become one of our preferred suppliers by offering a 10% discount to EE members.
From what I hear, Harvey has test driven the product and likes it.
Stay tuned. :-)

Thanks again!

Sean,
Since June is over, I'll be removing the current banner.
Looking forward to placing your future offer.
Thanks again,

Ooops! The ad I posted, for Custom Markers and Memorials was a mockup.
I've taken it down until we get the final say on Byron's offer.
Sorry. :-$

David,
Have you checked with the advertisers to see if the members are actually using the prefered vendors?

Ken,
Not individually. Sean, from Cermark says his "June Special" didn't generate much response.
We can only lead the forum members to water. :-)

Just curious, I talked to a few of them and they are saying the same as what Sean said. I was thnking about adding that feature but I'm not sure of the true value to the members or advertisers.

Ken,
None of them can say they aren't getting their money's worth. :-)
We can post the banners, but it's up to the suppliers to "sell the sizzle" in the advertising folder, to keep the forum members aware of their generous offers.

Hey David,
If my memory and my old expense account serves me correctly, most of the members here don't drink water...
Sorry couldn't resist! I'll get back to work now

Anthony,
I realize that you avoid drinking water, but I don't think you can speak for all of us.
Well, you can speak for Chuck Burke and myself. :-)
Hope all is well with you and your family.
All the best,EDITED: 8 Jul 2006 by DGL

Never mind.
Family are all good

Thanks very much-now would you mind changing it? I used an old logo.
Don't you hate dealing with amateurs.

Some people may have an interest but not quite ready yet. Or they might make a note and come back when there is a request from a customer.
There are several I may be interested in later on but don't have time to do right now. I have ideas and samples from months ago and still trying to find time to get them on display.
