Whats the timeline on this? Is shipping included in the price? More pictures? What are the risks with this production? What happens if you cant deliver? Whats the maxload(kg) on these boards? If I want both, is there a discount?

Looks great, just needs abit more info :slight_smile:

Wow I hope I can keep up with all of you :slight_smile:

@sofu check the link that @Bor.inc pasted and just have those pics at the moment. IMG_20190116_222741 IMG_20190116_223020

@Winfly it’s flatcave/gaspedal shape and it’s cnc’d from flat plywood. Please be more specific what do you want to see and I’ll take those pictures tomorrow.

@DeathCookies One big compartment with dimensions in first post.

@linsus a lot of good ones :slight_smile:

  • please open the form and there’s some kind of estimation
  • no it’s not included because you all are in different parts of the world so I need to check all that and that is why I’m asking about country in the form
  • I’ll try to do some more. Ideally I would like to show finished board but mine is always in prototype because I need to check different options with it. I might finish my son soon and will post that for sure.
  • the biggest risk is company that is doing cnc job but like I said before it’s a third or fourth one and this one is good
  • my initial plan was to finance it 100% but development took a lot of money and I’m still able to do it but that would freeze my other projects so I decided to collect money for some part of the whole production. I took my time to be sure that I can deliver but if something happen I’ll refund everyone and just cancel my other projects. Payment through PayPal and I’m not asking for F&F.
  • heaviest person that ride on it was around 100kg. I have one friend that is 140kg and I’ll try to do destruction test with him and one of the prototypes. I couldn’t break it and I have tried to do it on purpose.
  • I think it’s possible :wink:

I’d personally like to see some pictures showing the concave better, if possible

Personally, I like the shape and size but not so much of the choice of wood. Milling a flat cross grain ply for that concave edge makes it really easy to chip. If I were going to buy one, I will have to coat it and paint it. also not a big fan of that ply showing on the top. I will wait till you finish your son’s before deciding if I like it.

And that is why I’m waiting for prototype with veneers laminated from top and bottom. I think it’s doable without increasing the cost :slight_smile:

The riser pads might not be worth the hassle, when these exist:

They are great! My idea is to have a switch and charge port in it. Also when I make front one in aluminium I can put high power LED in it and it will act as heatsink.

Why did you change from maple to birch and oak?

Cant remember if I filled this out or not, can you please check?

2 Likes

Yes you did :slight_smile:

@briman05 Maple was in plan just at the beginning when I thought I will make it just by milling. Than I did some research and tests and best combo in my opinion is birch and oak. Deck is super strong and light. Those materials are widely available for me (I have 2 or 3 backup suppliers) and I can source them with high quality and ok prices. I have a lot of different veneers and it’s very interesting how different they can behave. It’s almost like different carbon cloths with different thickness and weave of fibers. This deck is a wood composite with core and outer layers :wink:

At this point in the group buy, what kind of rough timeline are we looking at?

1 Like

@landonkun I’ll start collect money in couple of days and from the time that payments are done about 3 weeks to start shipping.

I want to ask you all about something. I think I found a good way to seal top cover and still make it easy to get inside. At the beginning I planed to just put grip tape on without any cut for lid and that would seal everything. Of course that is perfect scenario when your build is so good that you don’t need to look inside. Reality is that we, builders will always tweak something. Take a look at this and tell me what you think… IMG_20190126_165540_HHT IMG_20190126_165832 It’s a big velcro type material. Lid is cut and grip tape will be applied to velour with adhesive. This way we’ll be able to take off and put on any grip tape countless times and it will act like a seal for the lid. I have some samples of this material. Can’t test it as it’s -10C here but this is industrial stuff and I believe it will work perfect.
