| Cool.
But if you remember Justin's metal mold pics, they aren't just a block of steel CNC'd. They have special holes for different reasons, which is good to expirement with... |

| Yeah, I know.
Don't get a metal right off the bat IMO. If deck making is not your thing, you just wasted a few hundred...
Get the basics down, then upgrade. Thats what I have done... |

Get the basics down, then upgrade. Thats what I have done... couldn't agree more....also get some basic sanding skills down.....i can mold wonderfull decks, its the sanding i think is more important......and doing it quickly, so to make it half worth your while......its no good sanding a deck for 2 hours then selling it for $5 because you will soon get fed up with it...  |

| id say you'll be very lucky then.... you can get ready made resin and wood molds for that sort of money, but nothing customised by yourself.....most of them suck too.....just learn how to make a mold..... |
