Check out my latest Work

I got tired of trying to get in and out of my truck without stepping on the pained part of the running board. That little step plate is too small for both feet.
I decided to make myself some real step plates.
What do you think about these?

Sharp! Did you cut those on a CNC? You should start producing and selling those!

That looks spectacular! However, to produce them for profit, Ford has to license them because of the "Ford" logo. That, in itself, might be cost prohibitive to mass produce. Remove the logo and then you're in business, much faster.

Never intended to sell any of them, just made them for my truck. I don't really know if I want to make any to sell or even what they would cost. I had the aluminum, so I don't even know how much that is. Wouldn't be hard to put something else in the oval instead of Ford if I decided to make some. What do you think they should bring $ wise?

Excellent work.You could probably retire selling those. 500.00 a pair would be cheap! I/ll give ya fifty without the emblem.
