To place an order or for more information, please contact me via email instead of the telephone, this keeps the order process simple and eliminates errors.   There will probably be a few back and forth emails until I get your base and engraved mirror exactly the way you want it.     If it's absolutely necessary to use the phone, then by all means do it.

Simply hit the "Contact Us" button at the top of this page.  

  

 

All etching is done with a sand blaster and a very steady hand, this is the same type of sand blaster found in auto body shops.  The quality of sand blast engraving is superior in many ways to laser engraving and I can engrave on items that can't be done with a laser, such as lead crystal stemware and awards.   

Normally I etch about 1/16" to 1/8" depending on the item being etched.   For most glass engraving I engrave on the back side so there are no unsightly shadows on the face that you would get by etching from the front.  

All work is done by me personally, so you are guaranteed the highest quality.

 The above picture is of an 4" x 8" etched mirror inserted into an LED lit 4 x 13" solid hardwood base that is meticulously hand crafted.   The base can be made of oak, walnut,  mahogany and cherry.  Walnut and Cherry are the most popular.  Each base is finished to perfection and hand rubbed using a minimum of 6 coats of Watco Danish Oil to bring out the natural grain in the wood.  This takes longer but the mirror like finish is well worth the effort. 

The mirror is etched from the back side using a sand blast etching method that gives better results than laser engraving in most cases. I then install eather a single or multi color LED stip into the base so your call sign stands out. The multi color LED strip works using a remote control and you can change it to show only one color or have it automatically change from one color to the next either fast or a slow fade.   Most owners never shut the LED's off, it makes a great night lite.

I can be somewhat flexible as to how you want the mirror etched, lets say you want the call sign straight across instead of the arc in the above photo.   I can possibly put your club logo on it as well.    I can't work with all logos, so I would need to look at your art to see if it's possible.   You can also choose from the logos that I have, simply click on "click for more art and logo samples" in the above box.   See some examples below.

  

  

Since everything is custom made, please allow three weeks for delivery, you'll be glad you did

Jim,

 

I have been meaning to reply to let you know that the package arrived safely.

 

I saw these on Ham Nation at Gordo's and Leo's stations and thought they looked good.

 

Frankly, the TV/Podcast doesn't do them justice. In person, they are so much nicer. I am absolutely pleased with it,

and am proud to have it on my operating desk.

 

Thank you for excellent service and an outstanding product.

Hi Jim-

You will be pleased to know that my mirror arrived today and it is even more impressive than I thought it would be. The lettering is beautiful. This crafting is first class and the leds are brilliant. The remote control gives you so many options. Even my wife, who takes us hams with a grain of salt said, "Now THAT is really impressive." I'm so glad I opted for the larger size and multi-color functions. Needles to say, I will be pleased to hand out your cards at our next club meeting. Please feel free to use my comments on your site. Every ham should have one of these in his or her shack!

I got my job today.  I'm completely happy with the result.

I sent Jim a custom vector graphic of a logo I specifically designed.  My logo had fine details of a map of the Earth that was etched in fine detail preserving even the smallest of islands while the curves showed perfect geometry and crisp clarity.  Jim was able to etch this design into glass exactly the way I designed it."

Your package with the 4x13 base, in cherry wood,with the world clock arrived on Saturday.  It is just the best! So smoothly finished, and the world clock adds just the right touch. It was much more than expected. It is lit up now, and sits on my desk .

  

Thanks again for all of your efforts.

  

Best regards,

Hello Jim,

  

I just had to write and thank you for the terrific job you did on my order.  The quality is first rate and even better than I imagined. 

Before I even moved it to my shack I set it up in my living room.  I find that I’ve been using the remote for the LED display as much as my TV remote. 

The multicolored LED display is a great touch.  This is a great addition to my shack and one that I will cherish for the rest of my life.  Thanks again.

Mine was a custom order because I wanted Orange led's and the script to match what Yaesu (new times roman) uses. I did everything via email, the first email to Jim was returned within an hour, and I believe I sent the email on the weekend. He told me the turn around is about 3 weeks, I got mine in about 2 weeks, I opened the package (very well packaged by the way) and my mouth just dropped, I was so amazed. He did an outstanding job with this order and I highly recommend doing business with him. Thanks Jim...   Michael Bagley KB1OKC

  

Aloha Jim,,,,

It is even more elegant than I expected,,,,,,MY Christmas present to me!!!,,,The wood is beautiful and the red letters really stand out perfect!

  

THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT WORKMANSHIP AND SERVICE!!!

73's and again BIG THANKS!! Bill KH6OO  

  

  

My boyfriend LOVED his engraved plaque! He had a big smile on his face when he put all the pieces together and plugged it in. (I had wrapped the 3 pieces individually, to make it more of a surprise). He has already taken it to his Radio Shack, no doubt debating exactly where to put it to show it off best! It's a beautiful piece, and the red lights really show it off!

Thanks again for your skill and your customer service! I am so happy to be able to please him on his 65th birthday!

Hi Jim,

  

I received the callsign plaque with the clock this afternoon.   What a beautiful "piece of art" yes art, because that's what it is.  Your attention, care and precision at creating this are really fantastic.   I love it, thank you.

  

I've left you a review at eHam .net, describing your work and attention to detail.

  

  

Thanks & 73

Hey Jim!

  

Got the mirror in the mail today and it looks awesome! It's EXACTLY how I pictured it. I mounted the tube then took a couple of snap shots. I had trouble getting the right kind of lighting so I ended up taking several shots then picked out the two best ones. They appear to be a little dark but I wanted the mirror to stand out. If you would like to use the pics for your website, feel free to do so. Anyway, great job and a big thumbs up.

  

Thanks again,

Hi Jim,

  

GOT IT!!  All I can say is; it was the best purchase of a ham accessory in my short 5 years in amateur radio.  I have been fighting sickness on top of moving, so I hope you will forgive me for not e-mailing right away! 

  

One person said they want to get their tech license just so they can have a sign like this. Another friend of mine has the money, but is very....shall we say frugal...cough, cough... but he will give in and get one after he comes to the house a few more times and drools some more.

  

You have a great product, and I really enjoyed talking to you in Milwaukee.  GREAT JOB!!!!!!

  

73, David 

  

Hey Jim,

Sorry to bother you again, but we got the gift just in time for my dad's birthday, and I just wanted to give you a big HIGH 5!! It was even more beautiful in person than in the pictures online, and my dad was blown away by the whole thing!! He thought it was absolutely amazing! He asked about where we got it and I told him and gave him your website. He was interested in what else you sell. But I just want to say thank you very very much for helping make my dad's 72nd birthday such an amazing day!!

  

Thanks again so much,

JoDee Justus

 

Jim

Satisfied is an understatment!

I want to let you know that I am beyond happy with your work. The whole package is very impressive to say the least. The lighted sign will be the centerpiece at my operating position. The coffee cup is perfect. Unlike many of your competetors who use tradational methods of stamping/printing that wear off over time, your engraving will be there forever.

  

The entire process from beginning to end was nothing less than professional. It is a pleasure to do business you. As soon as I finish this email I will be sending pictures of my new treasures to all my friends. Rest assured you have a happy customer/friend in Cincinnati.

  

Thanks again,

Hi, Jim--I  picked up the parcel from you this morning.  Actually, it arrived Sat. A.M. but couldn't pick it up then because of no  window service.  Then Monday the wife picked up the mail--she had a parcel, so they left mine sit, thinking hers was the only one there.  Anyway, after all that, I opened mine just now and am well pleased with everything.  The LEDs were white just as I wanted.  The cup is a real eye catcher.  You did a terrific job packing those fragile pieces.  Thanks so much!

I received the plaque and the cup in the mail today and what can I say? WOW!  Superb craftsmanship and I am drinking my first coffee in the new Mug.  These items sure do add to the shack.  Keep up the beautiful work Jim.  I will be ordering again after Christmas

Jim,

Very very nice product, great quality and workmanship. I will be ordering more.  I have sent pictures of mine to many people already.

As many of you know, I am the winner of the engraved coffee cup on the Ham Radio Help Group.  Jim worked with my logo and made the cup look excellent, I can not say how happy I am to have this.  I received the cup yesterday (1/8/09) afternoon and early this morning I had a hot cup of coco to warm me up on a cold morning.  I have posted a photo on my blog, you can view the blog at http://tinyurl.com/7fxtch.  This man is an EXPERT!!

Great Mug!  The crisp contrast of the white letters on the black mug look great next to my radio gear.  The matching espresso cups are a real treat.

Jim, the mugs arrived today.  I could not be more pleased.  They look fantastic!  73,

My cup arrived today after being lost in the mail.   It is beautiful and i'm proud to display it.   I sort of expected a painted on piece of art work, but this is deeply engraved into the ceremic, great work Jim.

Jim K6JMG

  

Jim, I finally got hooked up with Bill after our club meeting last night and he gave me the mug you made for me--WOW -- your an artist my friend.  Next month at our April meeting we will have the mugs and publicize them prior to the meeting and I am sure will get some members who would like one..  will keep you updated.

Steve W0SJS

  

Hello Jim,

I want to commend you on your very fine attention to detail on my cup.  It's the first mug or anything of the sort that i have even seen done like yours.  The engraving is a very clean job and the coloring over it is very smooth color of gold.  Very well crafted indeed.  Not many people pay attention to the fine detail as you do.  It's the only way to do it.  

Being the mug is all new and finely crafted, I have put it up for show in a glass case in the shack.  I am sure any Ham op, new or old would be very proud to show one off as I do.  

Thanks again for the time you took with me on the mug before you went to work on it.  It shows in the work.

Because I was the lucky winner of the cup done by Jim Thibeault, I want to thank Jim personally and Don for coordinating this, and have a few comments.  

I am so highly impressed with the generosity of Jim, but also the beautiful craftsmanship he puts into his work.  

This cup is a thing of beauty, beyond my hopes for sure...  The cup arrived, promptly and safely and it is something to be treasured... It is beautiful.   

Give Engraved Memories consideration should you desire something to treasure..  

Thanks,  

Ken

  

MAN!! Do them look nice or what...You did an outstanding job there Jim, I am so pleased, that I don't know what to say.  After the great communication, and continued effort on  your part to make sure what I ordered, I got.   There are few words that  can describe the fine work that you do.  Along with your customer relations is OUTSTANDING!!!!  I am going to let ALL who might want one of these fine pieces of art work to go where I did.  "ENGRAVED MEMORIES".  When asked, where did you get that?  They will want one also.  Thanks very much Jim

Hi all.  Recently I purchased some of Jim's fine cups, and posed a serious challenge for him.  I wanted the MARS symbol with my MARS call on one side, the ARES logo with my ham call on the opposite side, and finally, the HRHG logo in the middle opposite the handle.  He told me he had never did a three before, but gave it a go.  I have posted some pics of my shack operating position with the cups on display.  WHAT A GREAT WORK OF ART THESE CUPS ARE!!!  Jim, a public congratulation on a fine job you did!!!!
