David,

Could you change our linkk to www.cerdecmark.com? cerdec.com is our old company's page......

Thanks! :)

Did you flush your cache? I'm seeing the right link on the trusted banners page.

BTW, did the rotating banner system change? I'm only seeing your two original banners now at the top of the forum pages. (EJ and that show)

Thank you Dave.

I guess it was a cache thing.

Speaking of a cash thing, that's why I placed "all" ads on the supplier page, with the "paid" suppliers (EJ & A&E) at the top of the forum page.

Collectively, their ads are worth thousands of dollars per year and I didn't want to diminish their exposure, by putting them in the mix with free ads on the forum page.

I made that explanation, before the separate page was developed.

I still can't get it through my old noggin who the magazine ads are worth thousands to annually. I'm sure it isn't the forum members, they SHOULD already be aware of the industries leading journals. It can't be you cause you aren't benefiting and getting Thousands from the ads for the forum in the magazines.

On the other hand, the discounts offered by the suppliers I think are far more important to the forum members than the magazine ads. The forum members will save the Thousands by using these discounts (if they know about them). If each forum member saved only $10 anually it makes it over $13,000.00 in savings for the forum members.

I guess it is important for you though, on second thought, to have those forum ads appear in the magazines for when you go to the pay site. Every new member the ads pull in will be money in your pocket. 1300 current members times the $36 annual is $ 46,800.00.

Making the link at the top of the page to the member discount ads bigger and in color would help, it is very easy to overlook.

Hello David!

The June free sample pack is valid through July also. This is a great opportunity to receive one 6 x 8 plaque in Walnut, Alder, Oak, Laserwood, Cherry & Maple. We also carry an assortment of edge details and offer stained pieces.

I look forward to hearing from Engraver Forum members!

Dave,

Laserwood is a Beech wood. It has a tight grain and from my understanding is a nice wood for lasering. I can send you some samples if you would like.

David,

Our plaques have a 99% accuracy rating. We use a state of the art
CNC router. There is a 3/32 tolerance level. We have companies we produce qnty's for up to 1000 pieces at a time. To date there has never been an issue. (Knock on wood! Which there is plenty around here!)

My opinion is that the only safe way do do multiple objects accurately is to set up an inch mark for each item.

E.G., the first one lines up at 0", the second at 5.5", the third at 11", etc.

You can easily place the objects at those marks and not be messed up by a 1/32' off.

If you do a lot of the same items it is best to make a jig to hold them in the place that the layout specifies. After that it is simple setup and lasering.
