[@lukew6044]

this is sick dude. makes me wish i had all the equipment to build one.

[@SkateparkLessons]

You probably already have some of the stuff and like I said in the video, you can use vacuum bags to press the veneers! Make some boards! 💙🛹💙

[@Skaterock408]

All you need is a jigsaw and a palm sander. 🤙 Thats what we started with.

[@liberty5565]

Harbor Frieght for tools. Best to just buy what you can because you're gonna build more than one. 🤣

[@ShawnxEdge]

I skate, own a screen print business (apparel) and build custom drum kits but I’ve never made or printed a deck lol. I always thought I had to use toxic sign ink that ruins screens. Didn’t know you can use water base shirt ink! Clean up is much easier and you can save or reclaim the screen. Nice info!

Any hope for a deck that came warped from factory? Bought a brand name signature pro model but upon set up realized it was deformed. (Hard to see with naked eye but once the trucks and wheels were on it was obvious) I got my money back but The board sold out quickly so I can't get another one and it would be great if I could maybe at least partially fix it so I could use it for a cruiser or give it to Someone and not have it just be sitting there.
