Nah. It just shows ya got more flame than you wanted and jumped ship on the plot. It would be nice if you didnt think of every kid and fber that buys from you as a statistic in your marketing plan. It makes you look as if youre in it for the money. All of your posts have been about business. I like business, i study it, but i also know that im one of the people who buy a deck from my company. Im on all the forums shooting the shit with the community as i have since it started. I also shoot the breeze with whomever on FB. Fingerboarding is personal since we're all so close to one another. However looking at any of your posts, honestly, fingerboarders are just a number for you. Its gross. Forget the NC thing. Your approach to the community is horrible. |

| i don't know what you're trying to do now. i dont care about your fanbase and give-a-ways, i just want a viable explanation rather than "i was framed". And i want you to stop selling china/ and or mass produced products, that is all. And if it is the case that you were framed, haven't you tried to find out who did it? looks like you just let it happen and didn't really care about clearing it up.. EDIT: True dat Deshawn |

| Brian, Feel free to purchase a board, perhaps even with your own custom design and I will be glad to send you pics of the process... Heck, you can even come and visit my workshop! lol.. I certainly don't need to prove anything to you. How I make my decks is proprietary information. Meaning, I don't need to share my trade information and wouldn't appreciate that information being shared with my competitors, UNLESS I PERSONALLY choose to share it with them. However, if you ask around, you will find I gladly share my fingerboard making techniques and information with other folks interested in making their own fingerboards. I even sell veneer and molded, unfinished fingerboards on my website to help folks who want to make their own. Like I said, I make every board in my Palmyra, Indiana workshop. If I didn't, since I publish this information on my website and even in various other forums (on the News, on facebook etc) I could be charged with fraud and goodness knows what else. Long story short, I stand my by word and my products. I have no need to prove anything to anyone, however, I'm always happy to accommodate a customer's request! Regards, Jim ps. If you ever want to make your own board and need some help, don't hesitate to give me a shout. Having made 20,000 boards already, I've learned a few things along the way! My email is Jim@prowoodfingerboards.com. |

| Well stated. Gotta admit I got a prowood caution graphic and it was pretty good. I don't mind the decks. I guess the only struggle is to find out which information is real or not. |

| Youre like a web-bot, always trying to sell someone something. Loophole; "i make my decks in such-and-such" meaning... "i wont specifically say i do everything to cover my tracks later." Any process can be "making", in this area. You want be called a fraud for not making every deck. No one outside of fingerboarding would know or care if you dont make every deck. In fact, they would look at you strange and suggest you mass produce them. Whats more... you making all your decks by hand doesnt change the possibility of your decks sucking.

| Jim you're not getting it. A majority of the peopel have a problem with you not your decks. And if people are buying them from you then yeah we do have a right to a certain extent to see how your decks are made. Brians not asking to show what glue you use all he wants to see is that you actually make the decks yourself. |

| @Ryan, so you are saying I am not legit because I won't post pics of my workshop. Can you tell me that if I do that, this will end? I doubt it. However, I am willing to take you up on it! Or is it more like DeShawn says, even if I make my boards, I am still not legit? I don't think there is any way to win here, and you know, that's cool. I have stood up for myself and my products. You may like or hate my boards, that is up to you. You are also entitled to your opinion, but I can tell you that Brian C, I find it highly amazing that you will post here that your deck fell apart but wouldn't bother to message me in person about that? Ask for a refund? Take advantage of my guarantee? So, you just have money to toss around? I don't and if I have a problem with a purchase I would definitely let the maker know.. First, so if there is an issue (a bad batch of glue or whatever), he can fix it. Second, so I can get what I paid for or get my money back. Just sayin... Have a great night, I have to get back to the workshop for a few more hours.. Again, if you really have a specific issue, feel free to email me. ANYTIME! Regards, Jim Vickers, Prowood Fingerboards, email: jim@prowoodfingerboards.com. |
