Yep. I told her that after she checked 100 cells we could go for a skate.
We went for a big skate (by her standards) 8.5km, and when we got home she went straight back into the workshop and said ‘Can I check more cells now?’

Hahaha during craft season basically yes. So end of summer through Christmas. I had to upgrade the breaker in my house because the 6 3d printers and heat press would trip the circuit if I tried to preheat too many at once. My wife makes so much other ornate shit I can’t even begin to describe.
My useless chunk mitts are garbage. I just move all the heavy stuff before and after shows.

Bruh you could make a killing doing personalized wedding stuff~ i see so many similar things at weddings i work. Personalized wine/shot glasses are huuuuuge as party favors.

Oh yeah, we’ve made the favors for a few weddings now and it’s great. We generally never work with the brides and only the maid of honors so no bridezilla issues so far.

Industry secret: the brides are usually chill. Its the mothers of the couple you gotta watch out for

Aww 
do you think she likes esk8 and will become a builder as if this is her passion or she’s doing it to spend time with you? In general, it seems like kids tend to adopt what their parents are doing/the people around them in an act of mimicry, monkey see monkey do. I wonder to what degree this action is mimicry and how flexible that mimicry would be, like what if your job was something different

Have you guys ever though about replacing the peli case with something more… sexy? The board looks so damn nice, but the case kinda sticks out imo.

Yes and we are working on it and running prototypes at the moment.
It’s really difficult from a business sense to move away from something that is fully waterproof, incredibly strong, allows quick swapping batteries and can be had for £50 + VAT. Any other option is gonna add ££££ onto the BOM and end sale price. Some like the case and others dont, I do get it though and I’d like to see a viable replacement on there.

Yeah, the scale of economy involved in trying to keep up with Pelican’s investment in tooling is nearly impossible. Would be an Everest climb even if that was your sole product/focus.

Nice, good to hear. I don’t think you have to match the pelicans though, no one is gonna submerge their board for hours on end, so something more light duty is going to be fine.

I think we will offer an option, if you want the super sexy enclosure you can choose and if not then go for the peli to save some £££

Could do the same for the ESC enclosure as well 
Although I bet yours makes the assembly process much easier
The ESC enclosure is fine imo.
