Possible box building business. [make some money]

[PSturmer 10+ year member]

Guidelines:

BOXES:

1 1/2" DRYWALL SCREWS for enclosures consisting of 3/4" MDF.

3" DRYWALL SCREWS for enclosures consisting of 2 sheets of MDF glued together making each board 1 1/2"

ALL Screws will be measured equal distance apart from the insides of the wood.

ALL encloures will be fabricated with fabric provided by myself.

ALL screws will be glued in.

A caulking will be used to airtighten all "cracks" of the box.

How are these revisions?

longer screws provide much tighter joints without the screws stripping. caulking should never be needed on a box that is carefully cut.

so why do you think the person that designs the box, and the person that actually builds it deserve to get paid the same...

There is alot more time involved in building a box, unless it if some tiny sealed box that can be done in 15 minutes.

from what i read, this dosent make any sense, why would somebody only take 30% of a box they built when someone can make a box for full profit, just dosent make sense to me and unless you have hundreds of people wanting boxes it wont work out. someone sitting behind a computer and draws something up in about 20 mins compared to working outside cutting wood and doing all the manual labor, just dosent make sense to me.

stupid idea. not much profit, especially between 7 people.

just wait until one person drops the ball or stops pulling their weight. or runs away with all your money.

awesome so your gonna be losing money when you get paid via paypal and then again when you pay the builder/designer with paypal. If you id get it working in a large capacity you will lose more money than ud think. IMO try doing it yourself or with one other person that is local to you.
