    I'm gonna work with 4-5 plys of 1.5mm 3ply hoop pine =]

    wondering what grade to use... AA is a lil friggin ex
  • Ben Shane

    oh.. and as to where to get them, i'm sourcing various plywood outlets. I swear I've emailed 5 of them and the only one that replied is in NSW and QLD T_T
  • Ben Shane

    yeah, someone mentioned checking out lumber yards for off cuts. I'm assuming lumber yards DO in fact stock the ply I'm looking for since you mentioned them. hmm

    press:

  • Oscar

    Were can i buy indy plates???
  • stephen.mhsrider

    i thought you put the paris KP into your indy plates?
  • JeSSSe

    Yes but i have some slalom trucks that work better with indy plates then the original plates that it come with. And i want to use my indy plates on my indy hangers for my freeride board.
  • stephen.mhsrider

    what trucks are these?
  • JeSSSe

    Ordinary skate trucks, but i lathed them down and put spacers on them so i can have 3 to 4 different truck widths.
  • Dale

  • JeSSSe

    Started my new board, i didnt want to make the evo because i cant be bothered.

    Number 1:


    And number 2:


    Im making the slalom one because it looks cool. (:
  • JeSSSe

    Oh and its the gold invader, not the white on.
  • JeSSSe

    What you do is you get the ply, cut out the board shape, then cut out around on the inside of the board so you have a frame, fill it with foam, then carbon it.

    Fiber glass is 15 bucks a squeard metre. Resin is about 50 to 80 bucks, its the same amount as a milk carton.

    A squeard metre of carbon is about 90 bucks.
  • JeSSSe

    This is how i make every foamcore deck:
