I was just wondering if any of you cab builders have a trademark, something that you put into every cabinet (besides time, money, hard work, quality, etc...those don't count). Mine is that I always try to use at least one piece of crappy, used lumber where it isn't visible, like for a brace or support or something like that. I am a carpenter by trade so this trademark extends beyond just building arcade cabinets.

I hope you weren't involved in building my house. :laugh2:
-
Oh and I should specify that by "crappy" I mean in appearance only, not like a termite-infested piece of wood. For me, it's all about recycling. Hey, at least I'm doing my part ;)
-
I initial everything I build using either a marker or pen. Of course I'm the only one that knows it is there.
-
Yeah, I always screw something up.
How's that for a trademark?

I do this too!
I sign and date (month and year) everything in an inconspicuous spot... usually before the poly goes on.

I guess my trademark could be crooked cuts or them annoying little marks the blade makes when I overshoot my 'cut here' lines. :cry:

Wait a minute, I thought that was my trademark...infringement :soapbox:

My trademark is that the machine is never done because something is always going wrong. (See all my posts)
I just have really :censored: ing bad luck.

My trade mark has to be wood putty. There might more putty then wood on my cabinet! ;D

My dad actually builds custom furniture, and I think what he does is one hell of a cool idea. He drills a hole somewhere hidden (Not very deep), and he glues a penny in there with the year the piece of furniture was built. I guess it increases the value of the work by 1 cent. ;D

Unless of course he's drilled out a penny or more worth of wood. :P

My trademark is metal and lighting. I'm big on custom led lighting and I integrate a lot of metal into my designs. brushed aluminum sides, chrome rings, stainless steel joysticks, black/chrome tmolding. Blue light and metal just make me feel like the future.

I sign and date any wood burn paintings I make, but I generally just hope anything else just plain gets made. No one is ever in the mood to help and I'm bad with measurements so a lot of unneeded parts get bought and a lot of time gets wasted.
-
I sign other people's work and claim it as my own.
I actually never thought of a trademark but I like the idea.
