Madwood? Lol Probably not...... Also the mad part means more of mad scientist not angry I just thought I'd clarify that cuz I'm a peaceful people
Thats exactly what Todd planned/said the name of Lab Wheels meant. Will they come in test tubes? |

Thats exactly what Todd planned/said the name of Lab Wheels meant. Will they come in test tubes? This is precisely what I said, and the whole idea behind the concept.... Awesome originality for sure.....great work! Mad Cow Lab Wheels.....Mad Cow Lab.....Mad Lab Wheels....Mad Cow.....Mad Lab....lol My ideas are significant enough to have people borrow the concept/idea/name....honestly it's been that way for a long time... If I had to guess, and you are not 28 and live on your own, and you know, you don't pay all the bills, your "laboratory" is actually "dads" workshop, out in the garage..... |

| Umm actually I hadn't heard of anything lab until like 2 weeks ago since I do not go on ffi much. No I'm not 28, and no I don't pay bills, no It's not my garage It's my ginormous room, my basement and my garage, I make decks in my room, sand and drill and lacquer In my basement and my lathe is in my garage. I make buttercrete ramps in my 10x12 closet. Sorry if there is any hate From you todd but I have already put some money into this and I'm pretty sure I had a MadLabfbs website designed more than a month ago before I ever heard of lab wheels. |

| Sure thing....and I can say I never heard of something until 3 days ago, and who can argue that.....
So if your crete is made in a closet, how is that a laboratory? lol
Are you sure, or pretty sure, or not really sure when you put the site up?
It's all good, I don't have to rag you about it, people are smart enough to make the connection on their own. You can call it what you want, I'm just pointing out that people other than me, IE people who may consider buying your products, will put two and two together.
A little business advice. Someone contacted me about wax for fingerboarding they were going to call Curb Snot. Which I had out for a while. They made the decision on their own, a smart business decision at that, to change the concept, because they knew people would ride them about it. They didn't want to shoot themselves in the foot, before they got going. He and I talked, everything is cool, he even sells my products on his site now.
Moral of the story, smart business, is smart business...no matter how you slice it. It's your call, but I do my research before I come up with anything, to avoid situations like this. The last thing I want to do, is ride on someone else's coat tails. Which is why I'm over 4 years deep in No Comply. That mentality, will take me 4 more, without a single problem.
I do like this though....
"no It's not my garage" "my lathe is in my garage"
Carry on as you wish....I suspect more "lab" inspired products to start popping up as time moves along from other people as well....lol |

| Todd, I sent you a message on FFI I'd Appreciate a reply. We can all stop spamming this thread now and me and Todd can work this out. I have a great deal of respect for Todd and his company and do not want to piss off someone with your powers.

| I don't have any powers dammit...lol...I'm not super man or thor or some crap. I'm Todd, 38 year old who lives in the middle of nowhere....just thankful people like what I do.
I'm giving free life lessons that's it. People always try to get help in fingerboarding, while some one can whore out all the secrets to make the products, what's wrong with someone giving out real life advice about what to do and what not to do relating to business ethics? |

| I can see both sides of this, It makes no difference to me but since when are you a mod foamy??
I didn't know thats what lab wheels was the same Concept but I do like the concept in general,
But what's the end goal here, do you want him to stop with the lab thing Todd? I think it woul be a good idea seeing as you are a more establishe company..
