hi people

hey everybody~

im trying to make a new company. can anyone give me any tips?
-how to make a mold
-where to get supplies
-and how to make stickers
-how to make a logo

hi!

for the mold, i would recommend a nicksfingerboards.com one ($65), they are truly perfect. if you want to go low budget, then a finger decks one will be just fine, and if you want to go high quality then have one cc milled which will be about 400

supplies!- i would recommend a simple veneer pack, try woodcraft! ind if they have a store near you! they have great packs of veneer! otherwise order online! (12-18) when looking for glue get non water based wood glue, should only be about 5 bucks, after that you will need a 1/16 drill bit, a 1/8 drill bit (4$ total) a drill, something to cut out the decks with, and a hole template. the whole template can be a tech deck, which doesnt work so good, i would recommend a redemption one of there site, www.redemptiondistribution.com for 30$ but for a start off, a td will be fine,

stickers!- there are two ways, homemade and machined

1 homemade- go to staples or office max and buy a pack of white glossed sticker paper, simply load it into a inkjet printer, print away and tada stickers!

2. machined!- go online to a sticker company, http://www.stickerguy.com/menu.html such as this one, and get some high quality ones.

how to make a logo!- hit up taylorT on this forum! hell make you one! his are good too!

hmmm, sounds like a good idea. ive heard hes cool

If you want a decent mold, it will have to be at least an epoxy mold. Stickers, I would recommend getting them printed by a sticker manufacturer.

Logo creation software is only limited by your creativity.

logos- me
mold- its easy, take a square sheet metal like 1/8th inch and bend it too your shape. then make the mold with two part epoxie
supplies- woodcraft has everything
stickers-sticker guy pwns

btw im not trying to spam but how do you make concrete mold?

You buy some two part concrete mix and pour it the same way you make a resin or bondo mold. The best way to do that is to get a 5"X2" piece of sheet metal, form it to a pre-shaped nolliewood plastic deck(for correct width/length to dip ratio.) Place Packing Tape on both sides of the sheet metal. Then place a wood frame around the sheet metal(so that you have NO SPACE between the edge of the metal and the wood) and pour the concrete into the top half of the frame.

Let the top half dry, then sand it if necessary. Take the top half and cover the bottom of it with packing tape. Then repeat the framing and pouring process using the piece of concrete you already made. This insures that both sides of the mold are identical. Buy a drilling template to use to drill the holes.

you use concrete instead of bondo
watch the whole thing, and just use concrete
