I think what he does is he assembles complete builds together for others as a “service”, but in a much more rudimentary sense than many others here who create works of passion and art. It’s really tough to run any business, and even more so in a place like the German side of Europe where everything is insanely expensive and more so to hire anyone. So while I’m not buying anything from him no do I ever plan to because it won’t make any sense (I’m not in Europe), I find his videos entertaining and enthusiastic, and emerge much happier watching them, instead of all the doom and gloom news that’s everywhere. In fact, I think it was one of his videos that led me searching for some unknown thing thus ending up finding this forum.

I only watch his video in incognito mode (maybe every half year or so i look him up to see what he claim to have done ^^ ). I don’t want him, Justin bravo or Ronnie sarmiento near my Recommendation feed.

Ronnie’s fine too - I wouldn’t have discovered some of the latest pre-builts from China if it weren’t from him. Different strokes for different folks I guess - you’re all too advanced for poor Fabi!

One thing that i can say is positive is that he shows a vast variety of boards. not just meepo,backfire,ownboard etc. I saw multiple boards where i thought “huh, i’ve never heard of them” Those were no brands that revolutionize boards or have dope new tech, but a different angle on the design and parts they use.
The 3 are in my opinion for “basic people.” (Sounds worse than i mean) Beginners and not experts. Fun to watch for experts - possibly.
But nothing i can identifiy myself with.

Anything that gives ek8s exposure is positive in a way. I think I first realized ek8s even existed only after watching Ronnie review a Backfire (yeah, I live under a rock) wich was my first board and he seems pretty honest in his reviews imo while Fabi just feels like an over-the-top salesman.
I know to come here now if in need of advice, but any starting point is a starting point I guess. Maybe he’ll give the forum a shoutout in a video

Still gotta stain the bottom, black out the edge, clear coat, and drill back through the top to get the Davega wires coming through so it will look like there are no wires at all going to it. Should be cool. And clean.

Routed like that adds some expense for sure. It is a PITA.

About how much? Would it be possible to just drill a hole through the deck for the Davega wires?

Yeah drilling a hole is drilling a hole. But you will then need wires going out the front of your enclosure to said hole. Which is fine of course.
Or I route the top for the wires dropping it into the enclosure for a cleaner look.

Another man taking my profile pic and faceapping it into a woman is disturbing on another level, but hey, we all get our kicks in our own unique way! Enjoy!
