I should get something up there but the tooling is not my focus any more, the engravable Items I sell are almost my entire business! <br /> Most of the tool and die work for lapel pins, brass awards, badges, and jewelry have all gone overseas. No sence trying to compete with overseas merchants, there raw material Brass, Copper, Nickel,ect is cheaper than here. <br /> At one time I was manufacturing 300,000 pins for HOG which is now in China. When I talked to the customer they told me I could give them the item for FREE and I would still be too expensive, the packaging and finishing is what killed the project!<br /> Frank<br /> <a href="http://www.chewbarka.com">www.chewbarka.com</a></p><hr /><a name="a5968_35"></a><p><b>From: Carl (CSEWELL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5968.35">#35</a>]<br /> 19 Feb 2007<br /><b>To: Chewbarka</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5968.31">#31</a>] 19 Feb 2007</p> Frank;<br /> <br /> Was the site hosted by an ISP?

Some web editors have it built in. But there are others, such as "Web Miner" that are designed specifically for capturing an entire web site.</p> <p><br /> Yup, the "archive the web" project is an amazing resource. If you forget the name simply Google for the "Wayback Machine".
