pricing "projects"

Why are you making these "wooden things"?

1) If for profit, read the book!

2) If for recipient's pleasure, forget the book.

3) If for YOUR pleasure, Throw the book away!

Happy New Year:D

China Again???

Yes the original subject has altered. The shift was relevant. Every one may comment as they deem important to them. I APPLAUD SS in their tolerance of this (and others) thread. Back to original subject. There are both "good" and "bad" fabricators of everything. Their geographical...
