Eric, I was wondering if you Cubicdissection artists would consider posting news about your upcoming products earlier. Posting preliminary information earlier would be like watching movie trailers - it would be great to have something more concrete to look forward to. Right now there seems to only be one or two day's prior notice to a product being available for sale. I understand that you can't pin down an exact price or sale date until you're done, but you could probably get an estimate within 50% of the price and 1-3 months of completion date. That would certainly help people with a limited puzzle budget like myself to know when to save our pennies.  -Jeff |

Hi Jeff, Not a bad idea, I think the best way would be to informally post a "blog" here in the forum. As far as pricing, I never set a price until everything is 100% done, because until then there's always a chance to screw things up  Anyway, I'll start it off with a new post...hopefully the other guys will follow suit. |

Nice one Bernhard.  How did you get it in the ball shape? Was it assembled and then you make the ball or what? |

Hey Jeff, I also think that this is a great idea. We can think of this as window shopping |

Hey, in response to Jeff's original message, can't everyone see our shop schedules on the forum, or is that hidden. Seems like if we just kept up with that and maybe added pictures, everyone would know what were were working on, how close we were to finishing and some idea of price.
