Machining refers to the industrial process of cutting and fabricating metals and other materials into predetermined shapes and sizes. Machining process is controlled with the help of computer numeric control (CNC) software that guides the cutting equipment along the lines and arcs of a computer aided design (CAD) drawing.A machining process may involve the use of different techniques depending on the number of parts being manufactured and the type of material. Machining techniques may include manual machining, which is used for cutting metal sheets in simple shapes such as circular, square, and rectangular. This process is however being replaced by automatic machining systems and process

To ship a piece of glass, it needs to be crated. We build a crate around every piece of glass which we ship. It needs to be a custom fit so that the glass can be adequately protected. The following pictures are of us building a crate for a 3' by 5' window. We use the same techniques when crating a smaller window.By building a custom crate for each piece of glass that you plan to ship, you will have better success shipping glass across country. You will find that by building a crate in the following manner that you will be able to ship small windows using common carriers like UPS or Fedex.We have the stained glass panel laid out on a different table than the one we're going to buil
Target - in very general terms, this article is targeted at anyone involved in business, whether it be offline ‘real-world’ business, or online ‘cyber’ e-business.
Let’s define the title.
“jigsaw” - a puzzle with multiple parts which requires some element of skill to correctly piece them all together in the right way, making one complete ‘picture’.
“virus” - an infection which grows, replicates and spreads.
Make sense yet? No!
One of the key fundamental basics in business starts with this. Business is based on the law of ’Supply and Demand’.
In simple terms, this means that if people have a demand (need or want) for something, then someone (perhaps you, or other businesses) supply them.
In simpler terms…. Have a product or service that customers want, then provide them with it.
JIGSAW…. Now has 2 parts / pieces…. Product (or service) and customers (people who want / need it).
If YOU are the business supplying customers with what they want, you may look at other products which complement or contrast. You may also look at adding new ways to deliver your product or service, perhaps new markets / countries / demographics…..
You may also want to have different versions / types of your product…. Plus you may want to promote / market your company in new / additional ways.
Also, you may want to have added computer systems, take payments in different forms, different currencies….. translation (remember - stay with me on this!)

Workplace disappointment is a growing problem in today’s small business IT marketplace, the inability for technicians to deliver quality and timely services to clients due to increasing demands and lack of quality talent in the available talent pool right through to vendors not coming through on promises in the channel is causing the level of disappointment to rise right through the ceiling.What happens when disappointment takes over? This is a huge problem for business leaders in the small business world. When it is a small issue and not tackled in the early stages can grow to become a over powering concern which can lead to mental health issues like depression and other an overall fe

Is there really a place for motivational posters in your home office? The thought of putting these posters in your home workspace may sound cheesy to say the least. Even worse it could even remind you of those dreaded, awful days when you were tied to a desk and forced to enjoy the company "decoration" of mission statements, useless slogans and their idea of motivational posters (more like propaganda eh?).All these things were meant to make you more productive each day, to enhance your company "loyalty" and to increase staff morale. What effect did they really have? Yes they drove you a little bit more mad each day and actually made you resent where you worked - the exact opposite effect

I. Unreturned Phone CallsSoftware development is an intellectual exercise, and you are half the team. If your developer isn't returning calls, then he's working blind at best.II. Frequent MiscommunicationIf he's taking calls, but doing the work wrong, then you need to rethink your relationship. Granted, everyone occasionally misunderstands - he can't read your mind or vice versa - but if it's a habit, then you need to either change how you communicate or change who you are communicating with.III. Bugs cost you more than the softwareYou should be able to budget your projects accurately - if it costs more to get the software working then it does to write it, the

I’m not really that old. At 54, I am surely not old enough to remember communicating by smoke signals or drums. But I am old enough that while working for a huge engineering company, I was trained as a back-up for the regular telephone operator, and that meant learning how to operate the old cord switchboard. When Centrex telephone system was introduced, I learned about that as well. Back then, women – even engineers – were all expected to type. And those in the clerical field were expected to learn at least enough about customer service, greeting customers face-to-face as a receptionist, and how to run a switchboard, that they could fill in if the regular receptionist or switchboard operat

JIGSAW….. From the original (and simple) 2 parts / pieces….. Your jigsaw now has many more, even dozens (or more) of pieces. The simple puzzle is infected. It’s spreading and growing. .. It’s out of control.
The original focus you had, is now a distant blur. Even if you had as many arms as an octopus, you still wouldn’t piece together THIS puzzle.
Let’s take just one piece of a small, simple jigsaw puzzle, and call it “Advertising, Marketing, Promotion”. They all mean the same…. ‘spreading the word’.
This single piece can start like this. Put a simply poster in the back of your car, on a notice board, in a shop window.
Then, get business cards, then marketing ‘postcards’…….then leaflets, a brochure, a full-color glossy brochure….a catalogue…..CD Rom business cards, interactive multi-media…
Advertise in the local ‘free papers’, then a small ad in the town newspaper, then a half-page….full-page ad…. Full color……. Then a 10 second ad on radio….. Then 30 seconds…..
Then 20 seconds on local / cable TV….. Then 60 seconds….. And on…and on.
Get a domain name, a website, software, design, hosting, auto responders, mailing list, Flash, Audio, Video, Keywords, Meta Tags, Keyword Density, Pay Per Click, Search Engine Optimization…
Ask a few friends to hand out some leaflets for you, create a reseller program, an affiliate program, an introducer scheme, get the software, the systems, Advertising Agencies, Copywriters, Professional Marketers, International Business Promoters…..
Where will it all end?
