who ever takes 6 hours to make one deck has problems lol . cut and shaped 2 decks in about 25mins today , but i have a shaping template also so yea.
I don't think he meant literally 6 hours. I think his point is that people work well under minimum wage to make a quality deck that might not even sell. I don't know about you but I've made a stock of decks that never even sold. Clearly that's a risk I'm willing to take because I don't rely on selling decks to make money.
exactly how i am now, i dont need to sell decks to pay bills. its pure fun now. i have had many stocks not sell lol

I could easily put 6 hours of work into a deck.
Picking out plies, dying, split work, alternative plies, designing graphics, printing graphics, applying graphics, custom shaping, fine sanding, lacquering.

All things that takes time.. Can be done in 5 minutes or 1 hour depending on how careful you are.

I'm sure they put so much work into their decks. Must be hard trying to figure out how much you want to buy in bulk.

Sorry for kinda double post, but people who got Ambitions said they had certain flaws to them. Flaws that could have been prevented with a little extra time.
Also, almost no one got their products they ordered or a refund.
