Announcement concerning project updates

I've been using Facebook for a while as a place to update potential customers to my business.  Due to the number of members on Facebook and the unique way users interact with one another, I have decided that all my future updates will be placed on Facebook.  It also allows my current customers to easily communicate with me and I get instant notifications via my iPhone.  In short, this will allow me to get faster feedback than before and give better service that before.

You don't need to be a member of Facebook to view the updates but if you want to interact with me you would need an account.  You can always maintain correspondence via email if you prefer which is basically the way this blog was working.  So in short moving over the Facebook is not changing anything and adding lots of benefits for you and Custom Dart Cabinets.

This page will stay up but I don't intend to update it any longer because it doesn't offer the same benefits as Facebook does.

Have to stop running jobs for a few days

One of the parts on my machine went today and I just ordered a replacement.  It should hopefully arrive this week and I'll be back up by the weekend.

Pack's Inn is going out ;)

Wrapped up the backboard I've been working on. Got some new light strips that are quite bright and do a great job of lighting up the dart board. As always, light directly overhead will work best with a dart board that has recessed wires. My prop board has the wire web floating over the bristle so it does cast shadows on the lower numbers.
