| I've been wanting to make decks for a couple of years now and i am going to make the effort now. I'm going to make a square bondo mold, to get the shape of the fingerboard you will be making onto the mold you get a thin rectangle sheet of metal and bend it into the shape you want. Where do I get the metal to do this? thanks |

| I'm pretty sure that I've seen sites that send free samples of aluminium sheet, not sure which type you need though man |

| Really thin thing is it'll be super hard to bend the aluminum to the right shape :/ Just get a rough estimate using the aluminum for kick hight/wheelbase etc. then sand the concave out |
