How are you pressing your decks? Is the vacuum pressure not enough clamping force by itself? Beautiful decks btw!
Iām keen to see what you come up with.
The decks from West Coast Standards look pretty wide. I follow them on Instagram. Wodering if I can buy only a deck and enclosure?
I used a band saw, a jig saw should work also.
The bag is more than enough but if you are doing a 9ply+ layup you may need to make multi presses.
IE 9ply deck do half the stack of veneers lets say 4.
Let that cure, then press the other 5 to that cured 4.
This will get you a great bond and better shape.
Now if your mold is flat with no curves like some longboards, you can just
slap all 9 plys into the bag. This really depends how complex
your shape is and how thick you are making your deck.
He talks about a PayPal link there but do you know how much it costs?
You sourcing veneers from those guys, or found a wholesale option yet?
Iāve seen a couple places that will require a call so havenāt gotten around to it yet, but all these DIY board suppliers pricing seems pretty high to me.
Edit: Wow NM just checked their ābulk pricingā, literally almost half price on the veneer kits if you buy 2 or more.
Iāve always wanted to build a deck from the ground upā¦ This is going to be interesting.
Lol. Let me check. I have no idea.
I know I should have contacted the guy to ask but I am not set on buying anything. It is still good to know the price tho.
That actually makes lots of sense Iām dumb thanks dude.
What type of trucks would you need to run on the Khymera deck?
Deck has 35 degrees front. 20 degrees rear. Ideally channel trucks or low angle rkps Iād say.
@davidbonde recently made a 47" inch (119,2 cms) long dropped racing monster deck in his native Denmark .
Deckās wheelbase is 42" inch (106 cms); is 11,2" inch (29,5cms) wide; and has a 28" inch (72cms) long platform.
It also comes with a nice radial concove and a huge enclosure big enough to acommodate. 12s10p battery!
