Hey FB'ers,
Just wanted to share a couple of things I created and normally use, first is my own bushings which are 100% rubber and impact resistant:

Sharing some FB creations Bushin10

Sharing some FB creations Bushin11

I have made them in red and light gray, they seem to wear super well and don't flatten like vinyl bushings. I have compared them to the common brands and mine still seem to have more performance :-) I only haven't tested Witchcraft bushings, but don't like them cuz they are soo tall using a washer(s) doesn't seem to fit on alot of setups.(No offense, think it's a unique product that has alot of style and can't take anything away from the craftsmanship involved)

I also made 'pivot cuffs' instead of pivot cups, the neoprene I use sit on the point of the hangar and allows it to have max flex but still supported from popping out of the base-plate.

Finally I tracked down some 'tuned' parts through my own research, found Phillips king pin screws that perfectly fit trucks of the Asian persuasion. Also washers for the axel, along with very tiny ones to use as bearing spacers.

Sharing some FB creations Tunepa10

I'm certainly one of those people that feels it's crazy to pay over $40 for a pair of trucks for a tiny performance difference.

Finally shown in the picture above also, I learned to make my own water graphics that I can apply to blank boards. They are applied with water and are made permanent with lacquer. You can see the last picture above is a Berlinwood 29mm old mold, but I 'skinned' it with my graphic so it covers but is still opaque to show the grain or in this case the original green dye job underneath.

The bushings and pivot cuffs are cool, but the water graphics are awesome! I've never heard of this, nor seen it before.

Thanks i haven't either.. you apply them like the temporary tattoos you get out of the vending machines. Lacquer makes it perm, that deck I still use on the daily, been going strong for a couple of months without the graphic coming loose.

Took an Extra week to tweek the designs and the sizing to get it to scale right when applied to the board. I'm happy with them all, I was able to get all 4 decks water graphic'd, lacquered and cleared without any major issues.

Here are all my decks except the bamboo before applying:

Sharing some FB creations 9320773158_6a3e27443f_b

I like making the Green Berlin 'Old Mold' into a red color scheme seems to look the best:

Sharing some FB creations 9346554825_aac9999283_b

I saved the brightest deck for the lightest design to show full color:

Sharing some FB creations 9349644596_7207df523b_b

I REALLY wanted to do a fade design, an already dyed orange deck was the best candidate:

Sharing some FB creations 9349341178_3a4bd57866_b

Finally the 'code of arms' color scheme I'll be continuing to use, colors look great on this board hard to catch it with the camera:

Sharing some FB creations 9349340266_8b090f5fa0_b

The only design I bailed on committing to was this one, the blue seemed to completely fade out when sitting on a board with Cherry veneer, a board like the Bamboo would look best so pulled it and replaced it with the Black fade:

So far I only setup two of the boards, still chiseling some china hangers for the other two. Thanks for looking!
