Premium Member Comment by Adam on June 29, 2011 at 10:07: Jack it will cost you between 50 and 150 depending on what you pit into the build. Read every page in this group take notes read between the lines. Then ask questions. Early on I asked heaps of questions so did matthys so the answers are there already. Crew get REALLY sick of answering the same questions.
Now get on the phone with the yellow pages look up plywood and hardware and start asking around for costs.

Comment by Jack Wroe on June 29, 2011 at 8:21: So what's the actual price?

Comment by Jack Wroe on June 26, 2011 at 20:16: Be realistic. How much money?

Comment by Jack Wroe on June 26, 2011 at 20:08: I'm going to be making a board with my friend next weekend and I need to know this.

Where can I get the materials? Where in Canberra?

What do I need to make it?

How much will it cost?

Comment by Max Heaton on June 24, 2011 at 18:51: soooo.....dermott and i started our press today, finished the final touches...aaaannddddd........it didn't work. DUCT TAPE WORKS! we wrapped a whole role of it around the mould and 2 sheets of ply. tomorrow sometime we will add the other 2 pieces so we have a full board. now we wait to see if it actually works.
