| I've been thinking of making decks for a while, but I haven't got a mold, does anyone know where to get a cheap mold?
Also, I won't be doing/making a company out of this if I do. I would just be making them and selling a few probably and maybe giving some out.

| I've really enjoyed learning on a Gator mold. Planning on developing my own shape and building a wood and concrete mold, much the same as you would building skateboards at home  |

| Gator molds are ok. I have one. But yeah if you have the extra $$$ invest in a higher-end one. |

| Make a bondo mold, it's actually really easy and you can get the exact shape you want  |

| yeah i would just mess around with bondo molds. but after a while, bondo molds tend to warp, so you will start making warped decks. if you still want to make decks after that, i would invest in some new mold materials, or just a get a mold done by nfb |

| 2 Tech Decks wont provide the proper pressure, but the presses will be fine for practicing |
