| (OLD SHAPE) (OLD SHAPE) (OLD SHAPE) : Hey guys ive been working behind the seens alot lately on making and perfecting my fingerboard decks, and finally....... I present to you Spot Decks! Each deck is 100% hand crafted by me and shaped, drilled, and lacquered to perfection. The shape of each deck is a low kick medium low concave deck which provides a realistic shape while keeping it nice and comfy. The wheelbase is a tad bit shorter than your average deck, although nothing like a woob, enabling the board to flip nice and fast. Well what else am I to say stock one is now on so yea go ahead and get one before they're gone, BTW decks are currently $10 Check website for pics! http://spotdecks.bigcartel.com/(OLD SHAPE) (OLD SHAPE) (JUST KEEP SCROLLING)

| I agree with Jack that the drawings on the top don't look very nice but other than that all the decks look really good! Especially the light coloured decks as the dye on them are like properly dyed through so what you could improve on would be to dye your plies a bit more. Good job man! |

Uh oh.... Idk, they look pretty good. Definitely some room for improvement, but selling them for $10 each is a start. |

| Alright guys, things arent going good for me as ive only sold one deck so far! That's why i need you guys to help me out and tell me what more people would want, theres no point of selling decks for a super low price yet no one is willing to buy any while spending hours perfecting, shaping, and finishing these decks! So yea, anything you would want and i will think about it, THX in advance. |

A low price isn't everything man. When I started with Temple I was selling them for $13 shipped and I thought that would be more attractive to people. Quality is what people want more than a cheap deck. I would suggest updating us more on what you're doing. I personally haven't heard any other news from you since the start of this thread. I'd also take tons of nice pictures of your decks so we can see the quality. Right now your picture showing the deck set up isn t detailed at all. All I see is the general shape. When I look at pictures of decks or things that I'm thinking about buying in general I like to see detailed pictures that are up close. Too many things people can hide in a picture that isn't detailed. I'd suggest showing us pictures of the plies, laquer and veneer. |

What I would do is either edit your bigcartel pictures to have multiple pictures edited into one picture as the product thumbnail. The easier route to go is to make a flickr and then link it in each product description. Or link your fbhq thread. |

| I think that some kind of really unique engraved deck would be sick!
Try making some types of split plies that other people haven't tried yet.
And always, strive for professionalism.
What does it for me usually is when a company really puts effort into proper spelling, capitalization, and grammar in their descriptions. Try to makes everything including your packaging and what not as professional as possible and of course, clean looking. |

| Marketing Suggestion: In your FBHQ profile setup you should have as many of your links available as possible so that they are present with each post you make. Instagram, Facebook, company email, Twitter, but most importantly your BigCartel (either as a signature banner or at least in text form). At the time I'm writing this I wanted to check out your new BigCartel page after reading the above message about the updates and noticed there was nothing to click in your post. |

| If i was you i would focus more on perfecting your shaping and dying of the decks, before you work on graphic stuff. |

| Sorry man but i haven't realized anything bad yet with the shape (I spend up to an hour shaping some decks to make sure I get all of the flaws out after the rough shape with 180 grit and 320 grit sandpaper) neither has Q4Quack and we will have to see what Tom thinks. Also yea I realize what you mean with some of the plies but everything cannot always be perfect in the start also considering that i do not have lots of money for really expensive dyes such as trans tint. Last but not least I've had graphics prepared for a while that are NOT paper graphics so I'm not starting to be exact with them. But hey, thanks for the feedback, I'm not trying to come back in a negative way but that's all I wanted to say to clear things up a bit. Also, sometimes the picture will make the decks look shaped uneven especially the decks on the sides. |

Don't worry mate about what Mikkel says, he tries to put down every new fingerboard company out there. He doesn't put in any positive feedback, it always has to be negative when it comes to him. Then again, he bans people for just speaking the truth and their honest opinion about him, because he obviously cannot face the truth ~ On topic, these decks look ace. I'd say let them sit in the dye a bit more, so they get more color and they would look more vibrant. You could mix some colors as well, to do a "Tie dye" effect, which is rad. And I love the shape of these as well! |
