ChemBright · « **Reply #3 on:** April 19, 2011, 07:18:03 PM »

No, I will pass. Send it to Joel. I owe him some cleaning solution.

Dude... you have got to start warning me about these funny posts.

Joel can have it.

After I am dead, it may be worth big bugs.

damn phil, thats really cool!

find out if items like that can be shipped to other states!

Infamousdave · « **Reply #8 on:** April 20, 2011, 09:38:51 AM »

Wine is shipped all over the country every day. I know a gal that belongs to a Wine-of-the-month club that ships from California, we live in Minnesota.

I can ship it Micky.

I wanted a way to get into more salons, hair schools, groomers etc that was different. Engraving, seemed to me, to be very different.

Not so much the idea but the fact I will be able to do it on-site. That was crucial to me since these girls can drop off stuff at the Mall to have done.

so I had to be mobile which means by hand. And since I am doing 'carving' I might as well go ahead and do other things too.

I learned from carving the rugs how valuable hand-made, personalized items can be for acquiring a new client.

Many folk use Thank-You cards... these go way beyond that. They hare personalized, hand-made and delivered, by hand. to the person right during the busy time so they get bookoo attention.

VERY powerful.

and few things say thank you like a good bottle of wine.

micky navarro · « **Reply #10 on:** April 20, 2011, 01:22:27 PM »

yes, i know wine can be shipped to everywhere, i just was not sure if my uncle phil can ship HIS product, specifically to joisey

gimme an idea phil how much lead time ya'll need to do the engrave, pack that puppy, and ship it on up to me.

thanks

c spot stop · « **Reply #11 on:** April 20, 2011, 02:34:18 PM »

I just need a day.

The issue will be how to pack it so I will take it to the local 'fed ex' type of store. UPS Store went out of biz so all we have is the fed ex version.

Micky, I can engrave anything so keep that in mind. Unless you want wine or a plate-glass thingy.

And for Micky, I will drive it there.

Lemme know what ya need and when ya need it.

Might just want to drop ship it.

Phil, i want to do something for my wife for Mothers day. have any ideas and can you get it to me by then?

PS.

This involves engraving so no jokes about the comment above.

c spot stop · « **Reply #13 on:** April 20, 2011, 06:38:22 PM »

I can get it to you by then.

When is it?

(really)

No jokes about wives man. I am all in for joking about YOU but no wives, kids, mothers or dogs.

Dads are safe.... cats are a shoe in....but never ever ever never a wife nor a kid nor a dog.

ChemBright · « **Reply #14 on:** April 20, 2011, 06:49:33 PM »

I think Mothers day is May 8th?

c spot stop · « **Reply #15 on:** April 20, 2011, 06:50:59 PM »

I'll leave now.

ChemBright · « **Reply #16 on:** April 20, 2011, 06:56:58 PM »

Dont forget your shoes.

They might be by now.

Odd... no one who got one even noticed they were wine bottles....

Burtonblue75 · « **Reply #20 on:** April 21, 2011, 12:36:56 AM »

After reading this, everything I look at I think about how much cooler it would be if I had it custom engraved. My 175 with flames engraved on it ( so people think its hot water extracting ) , or how bout a big "Dyson" engraving on my pro team vaccuum so house wifes stop trying to get me to use there's, or maybe a baseball bat that reads 100% Lead, maybe even front doors to houses that say "Welcome" ?

Jon, here is an example. This one is the Thank You but you get the idea:

It is hard to see but the flower is carved deep into the glass giving it a 3-D image. Like having avatar in the room.
