Rrrramps!!!

Sign in to disble this ad
I've considered starting a side-project/business: Making ramps out of ceramic (or the traditional wood type),and putting them up for $ale. I've never seen a ramp made from ceramic. The finish options are ENDLESS! Marbleized,wood-grain,solid colors,etc....
Yes,I know ceramic isn't a common material to make a ramp from. It would be different,for sure. That's the whole idea,though.

Opinions?? Do you people think there would be a market for someone producing ramps (wood or ceramic)??

Ceramic, as in pottery? Being from the "Pottery capital of the world," I would buy one! Just to have one!

I wonder how they would hold up compared to straight wood. They be heavy, and easily breakable.

Now I'm not referring to a material like the old reddish clay pots that archaeologists find in Egypt. I'm referring to a ceramic,VERY similar to what a toilet or urinal is made from.......I know,I know. Bad example! But,that's all I could come up with,off the top of my head for an example.
VERY durable materials,IMO. And the finish options?? You'd be very surprised. Endless finish options.

I know what ceramic is. My dad is the computer tech for one of the biggest potteries in the world, and my hometown produced the most pottery in the world up until lately.

I know what youre saying.

I play pick mainly but, if I had a ramp I might use my fingers more often.

I would pay $20 for a wooden one and maybe $40 for a cremaic one.
