btw, i still dont understand how the stencils work when your painting. i tried printing out a design, using a stanley knife to cut it out, then taping it to the wood and spraying it.
but it was all faded and smudged so i need to find a better method.
im not very good at painting so im a bit stuck, anyone have a good method for doing wrighting, like logos?

hey, the board is cut out and ready to be sanded down.
dont have a sander at my place so i hav 2 wait a week till the hollidays r over u before i can unleash limitless abuse upon the school graphics workshop. ( got the maddest teacher which lets me do pretty much anything)

the concave is really comfortable and the board has the tiniest hint of flex, but im certain that thatll be nullified once i get glass on it.

you just commented on it, if you go to the bottom of this page and look at the funny things called numbers and read from 12 to 1 look at the links, you want to learn about, but make the effort. its how steve and i did it and it works.

Then ask questions. and we would love to help but we will not repeat all the stuff on the groups page already.

just wondering does anyone know of a guide to board building

yes i would imagine so, the press to make the board would be crazy

Yes more than likely it is the concave. Especially if it was 1 1/4"

less concave will make for less stiffness given that everything else is kept the same. By how much for your specific materials is something you will find out shortly

i really like the stiffness.

scrapping the press altogether, making a new one on the other side of the base. it was just way too much concave ( 1 1/4 inches). bad miscalculations on my part. this time im going for about 1/2 - 3/4 inches concave with an inch of rocker, trying to duplicate the comet fsm's, it felt awesome when i stood on it.

btw, i dont know if it is just the concave or what, but the board is super super stiff. do you guys think that it would be the same if i had less concave and rocker????
