1/8 Scale Christian Hosoi Skateboard - (PART 3) Breaking The Mold, Shaping, And Finishing

[@Dyl-XL]

Is there any instructions on how to make a router table set up for shaping? I have a router but don't know how to make a table

[@rconcha3]

This is great. Is the HOSOI mold available to purchase? Thanks.

Thank you very much. We plan on offering old school shaped molds very soon, including the Hammerhead, Powell Ripper, Caballero Chinese Dragon, Original Tony Hawk Pro Model, as well as a few popular old school Santa Cruz shapes like The Stinger, Roskopp, and Kendall. That was the original intent of this company all along, to make collector quality replica 1/8 scale skateboards and supplies. The company has been blowing up recently on contemporary fingerboard shapes though, which is nice. We are frantically working to keep up with the increased demand of our products available online. 16-20 hours days, no sleep, lots of coffee, and way less sessions at the skatepark :(...The scope of this project is huge, as we do everything in house, from concept to completion. You can expect our old school molds to be available for purchase sometime in early June, and hopefully direct from our new website which is under construction as well. Our next video will be the documented construction of a carbon fiber insert pro model that we are really excited about, it's an exceptional fingerboard deck and we hope a must have for all pro boarders. Thanks for watching and stay tuned!

Hey I’m thinking of making a fingerboard company and I buy stuff from you a lot and I was wondering if you can sponsor me for your truck and bearing wheels since I can’t make those and I like all your videos

How much for the board he just made? Excellent job well done!

How do I get a graphic on the veneer with a way that is affordable

Bad ass

What kind of paper do you put on top of both parts of the table to protect the mold?

[@punkfingerboards6283]

Can you clarify your question? If you're referring to the step after gluing and placing the veneer in the mold (kzbin.info/www/bejne/mImxmXuLpdehmdE 3:07), it is Hobby Lobby foam sheet (www.hobbylobby.com/Crafts-Hobbies/Basic-Crafts/Craft-Foam/Foam-Sheet---12-x-18/p/EF50100) cut to size and wax paper. Hope that helps!

@@punkfingerboards6283 I was referring to the wax paper, thank you very much for your answer, I had no idea what it was called !! 😂

This mold is being sold as a complete fingerboard kit: www.ebay.com/itm/Old-School-Fingerboard-Complete-Mold-Kit-Graphic-Veneer-Trucks-Wheels-Extras/303159820674 The included high resolution printed veneer in this kit can produce extremely authentic 1/8 scale replica skateboards...but, keep in mind even with video detailing the construction, we consider this an advanced woodworking kit and some experience with measuring, centering, gluing, cutting, drilling, sanding, and finishing is suggested for best results. More SICK old school shaped templates and matching graphic veneer for this mold coming soon!
