I guess those crickets chirping in the background means no. I'm wondering if anyone out there has experience with Custom Made as well. I have work posted on Etsy, but I'm convinced that it's just a dating service for crafty people. Reckon I'll just take the plunge with Custom Made. If I end up with an intelligent opinion on the matter, I'll post it. Don't hold your breath.

Now that FW has committed to being not committed, there is mostly wind and tumbleweeds around here, especially as far as professional dialogue is concenred.
There is a good thread on Woodweb regarding CustomMade, and an even better one in a professional woodworking group in Linkdin. Both dialogues feature responses from principles of Custom Made and great dialogue.
Sort of what used to be here 3 yrs ago.....

Roughly two and a half years ago, I opened an account on Etsy and, within a month or so, I sold something for $20.00. After that? NOTHING!
Needless to say, I ended my account and since then, I've seen a number of folks end their accounts. It's more of a social site, I think, like Facebook and Twitter.
I haven't checked out Custom Made Furniture, though. Guess I'll have to take a peek!
