Probably not as much as you think, I still have a lot to learn myself. Maybe we could watch Pete and Ash at Glyde or Sakamoto doin their thing then we'd both learn something.

Great (i'm 70kg), the one with the orange wheels i just chucked extra leftover black glass on it and the glass was going hard at the time i did not want to waste it. But the green wheel one i just left it glossy, seriously who cares what it looks like, they hammer, the first one, dodge finish, has had some serious testing semi fast big 10m pendies n stuff has too much flex but great fun, the newer one diff ply, diff glass, and heaps stiffer, still waiting on grip tape but put other barrels on it and wheel bite no issue now. Cannot wait to ride it, Lime green zigs new bones reds and a great urge to go fast. Bring on the grip tape.
By the way have fun with your finishing skills flyboy. Ha

pressing tomorrow, i filed off all the sharp edges and its smooth as now.
would have pics of press but camera loader isnt working.
what do you guys recommend, when using the 4mm marine ply ( a thick veneer in the middle with two really thin facing veneers on the outside with some watertight aa bond or whatever.) how many layers should i use???
im thinking of doing one horizontal grain inbetween two lengthwise grain sheets. (three sheets) do you think that itll be stiff enough??? im worried that this wont hold up.
