I do like the sound of a well made pool curb but I think you should recess the mini tiles into the wood so they don't stick up as much eo they look more professional and won't get annoying

where should i put the mini tiles?? i didnt quite understood that. i think im gonna make two of wooden pools and two made out of concrete, the only problem is.... the shipping :/

Yeah I dont see a lot of people being able to afford that. Dont take this the wrong way but maybe you should try perfecting what you've showed us now?

Put the tiles into the wood so they don't stick out and yeah shipping is always a problem, try flat rate boxs

wtf?! i cant understand, maybe im too tired but what do you mean? what tiles? and in those curbs??

Well obviously there's still more room for you to work with on these curbs. They aren't perfect. Everything can use more work man. I think you should really get some cool designs down and do what Concrete said. Possibly even get some different colors going and what not.
Edit- Maybe even offer different lengths. Concrete means to make them actually go inside the wood so they're flat, not sticking out.

What ever you used on the pool curb, put them into the wood so they don't stick out

should i start making like some sort of u curbs or like ~ wave thing?

yeah like dip in kinda, i would do it but like i said they are not attached yet so...

That could be pretty fun to do tricks out of grinds and mannys on like a kicker

so should i?

Yeah, I think that might sell but get some other opinions

you need a thing called a router tool. what it does is it creates an indentation that goes along the edge of your material, so it almost looks like a clean square is chipped out the entire length.

You really need to paint them at least. Otherwise its a hunk of lumber with angle iron pooped on.

you should also sink the pool coping down a bit unless i cant see from the pic

they are not attached yet! im going to sink them soon

I think you need to just have more fun and experiment more with making boxes... You need to make something unique and original that someone just couldn't make on their own. That or you need to sell those boxes for like less than $4 with shipping if you want anyone to buy them.

Put it this way.


(excuse the horrendous image quality but it's an Aphlikshun Box 1)

If I can get one of these for $12 USD why the hell else would I buy a piece of wood with some coping on it? Maybe try to make the boxes look more like skate boxes or maybe make some cool shapes or take a hint from everyone and make some pool coping ledges by cutting a small part of the ledge out to make room for the pool coping.

If you've got the passion to do it than be like the nike swoosh and just fucking do it but you need to actually do more than the basics before you expect anyone to get excited.

should i color this up https://i.servimg.com/u/f40/17/20/62/38/dscn6914.jpg

What wood is that? Pine?

I actually like these to some extent... Try using a harder wood like oak, and paint them all a solid color. If that is pine, then it is way to soft to use as an obstacle.

Yeah, I have a wooden box but I don't know what wood it it but it wears away when you do feebles and smiths, so you would have to use a hard wood

Also dude if you are honestly going to put art on your stuff don't just doodle it yourself... It looks like crap (I'm sorry).

If you really want art on your pieces of wood that badly get somebody who at least knows how to draw.

At least give him props that he didn't screw it up! That is what would happen with my stuff if i tried to draw anyway!

I will give him props for not screwing up.

I see potential in his company I think he just needs to work on refining his craft before he brings it out to the public.

I remember a company like this before who made not so great decks who is going on to make way better decks now... You just gotta keep at it!

Yeah i know what you mean but your first message was a bit harsh.

Just saying

It was a bit harsh but frankly it was the truth dot take offence from it the guy was trying to help you sell a block of wood..

That's all it is A block of wood, what's stopping me from selling my own block of wood for cheaper and under cutting you..
Get creative an try to make something new an original that no one has seen before.

Good luck with your cOmpany
