American made enclosures

Calling all like minded fuck ups. I don’t post here often but some in the community know me. I love building, crafting, designing, and creating. It has come to my attention that there is a serious lack of quality built enclosures in the soon to be 51 states. I just wanted to reach out to anyone that wants/needs enclosures made on the quick for a reasonable price… don’t get your hopes up quite yet… this is an offer for you to offer me ( :joy:) donated epoxies, resins, pumps, vacuums, fibers, waxes, sandpaper, and anything else that might be required to make a Fuckin jolly good enclosure. I find it’s something I am always lacking in my builds and I am willing to put forth the effort to learn and practice the arts. I will indeed try to work this into my budget without you. However things will move along much better with the gathered help of the community. I am an ordained minister in the church of dude… What comes around goes around and I have stuck by that my whole life.

I might actually be looking for a US based enclosure maker soon. I want to make some of my decks non-integrated, but I don’t want to make the enclosures for them myself. I’d like to partner with someone.

Hi

I like your style.

This is pretty awesome. Hope to see it go somewhere.

Im personally shocked we dont have any prolific US based enclosure makers. I guess it’s just a massive up-front cost of materials and time to make all the bucks and everything, as well as refining your process down to something saleable.

@Broly used to do enclosures for the NYC crew and was amazing at it. Almost 4 years on the same enclosure and it still looks fantastic! Even after being set on fire!

I think he’s too busy now with XBoard but maybe he can give you some tips and tricks.

As for me, I could maybe send you a really powerful vacuum pump for cheap af

Please not Kydex enclosures. I’ll never touch or use one again.

Super thin, you can twist the screws through, snaps in half with too thick of a battery… list goes on and on

Fuck Kydex. Never again.

I guess that makes two. :crazy_face:

They might make great gun holsters, but definitely not great esk8 enclosures IMHO.

fiberglass for the win

Interesting. From @Nacho 's build, his looks like maybe 1/8" thick.

For real. Might as well use Tupperware
