Right now I just want to get some built to see if there is a market for it. The idea is really simple. The materials are almost free but the labor is intensive which makes it hard to do and not a lot of people would want to do it. But I enjoy hard work and working with my hands so it's not that bad for me. If I can sell a few to neighbors and what not I'll look into patenting it. Honestly I'm not sure I need one. The product is very general. I have a notion to make this into a business. Its something I can do On my own in my spare time so I guess for now it would be a venture.A fundamental question we have to ask, which route are you intended to go?
Licensing?
Or venturing?
