Build your molds from concrete or mdf
Concrete is used because of its ease .
cnc very much dollars
mould good cheap and easy. get an uncut blank with the shape that is made to
float big fatties.
Build a box that is about 2 inches wider and longer than your uncut with
walls that are around 5 inches high flip the uncut and screw it to the
bottom of the box so as the base is facing upwards .
fill the area around the uncut with blocks of wood and shit polystyrene
whatever to take up space
then fill the excess with space invader ( its a foam that builders use to
fill in holes it comes in a tube you squirt it in and it expands and sets as
a foam I dont Know the brand name in the US)you can shape it with a knife
and sandpaper. when you have finished the bottom of your box should be the
oppersite shape to your bottom mould. get some reinforcing mesh from your
local building site ( you will only need offcuts ) fill the bottom of the
mould with about 1-1 1/2 inches of concrete put the reo in and fill the
rest of the mould with concrete screed it off and thats one mould . the top
mould is made by flipping the blank and repeating the process. Note you want
ot shape the area of the mould that dos'nt touch the veneer so thet the glue
can ease out.
fucken americans I am sure the factories are over there why won't those people help.
On that note I was going to say If you by china made you might as well spit on everyone who has been a genuine skateboarder and lick the ass of a chinaman.
