All artists here! Bill has a Masters from Penn State and used to teach there. I used to teach K-12 art and our kids...well, what choice did they have BUT to be artistic!?

We HATE chrome but on the few occasions that we have HAD to use it for a customer that insisted, we told them ALL of the problems with it. Then they know and can't come back and say "well I didn't know it was going to scratch up like that!" yadayada We usually try to layer it onto of another...

Well the trick is you have to make it glaringly obvious and an easily changed item! That is a fun challenge in itself! Like I say we use it all the time and it works so well. The customers feel so justified in correcting us and we apologize so humblily for our glaring error.... :Oops:

Here's Bill's advice that we use on a REGULAR basis! "When I announced I was going into business, my dad told me I should know the secret of the "clamp" trick. When he was a young machine designer he worked under an engineer who was extremely hard to please. Dad was determined to do his...

No logos, no exceptions. All they really need is to know WHO sponsored the hole and if they want it cheap, no logos, no exceptions! NOW if they want to pay EXTRA, we can do logos! :-)
