Premium Member Comment by Daniel Witchey on November 16, 2011 at 13:10: hey im making my board right this second and i was wondering whats a good depth of concave for my mold?

Premium Member Comment by Gabe on November 15, 2011 at 20:59: O builders of boards, i wish to stiffen my super shaka with some carbon or some cool stiffening shit, maybe even fibreglass. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If someone is able to do it for a small fee or a trade for swag i would be stoked.

Premium Member Comment by Jack Glenn on November 9, 2011 at 20:15: i go to cronulla high... yep i was pretty stoked when my teacher said we could make it at school...

pretty simple making it... we knocked up a blank double kicker then you just basically make up a formwork with the blank deck in the middle creating the two sides...

heres a link to something similiar to what we did..http://www.diyskate.com/concrete_mold_02.html

just gotta make sure when your pouring the concrete in, you pour it evenly between both sides... seeing as concrete is heavy if you fill all of one side first it can cause the board to twist a little and then your left with a twisted press which is not so good.... we ran threaded rod in ours so that we could bolt it to the hydraulic press at school....
