I've seen all the topics on how to, I've tried everything and nothing works. I can't forkout two hundred bucks for cnc metal one.... I can't make any even molds, and have wasted too much time

bummer

practice makes perfect is what they say

Why not just save up for a quality mold?

^^^

Because my parents won't buy me one, I can't save up either because what am I gonna save up from hahaha, yea... Nope

check out B/S/T, Mauro Cantuni is selling a NFB mold

Won't settle for someone's shape.... I make my own haha yea....

Edit: do any of you know of other materials than bondo for a mold

wood if you are a master wood cutter or resin but i dont know how

U werelucky wita your bondo mold axel, minę broke.... .

Contact someon on here who 3D prints as it may be cheaper. Once you have a custom shape 3D printed you can just bondo that. Resin is stronger than bondo but also more expensive I believe.

True ^^^ but I think something amazing just happened, I found a mold half from the one I was working on, and I think I can shape this and use my left over bondo for the other half, wish me luck pls!!

Good luck dude

And if that doesn't work out, I had someone 3D print a square deck which I used as a template to make a bondo mold. Worked great!

I'm done with fucking bondo, going to force my parents to buy me a metal mold asap, or maybe eighth grade graduation gift hehehe....

No one needs any lawns cut or any other odd jobs done in your area?

Probably not

find a way to make some money man.. the sooner you start, the better off you'll be. Use your mind and do what you gotta do.

I find that very hard to believe especially with summer around the corner but I won't high jack your thread lol.

No srsly though @ryan

If you are just going to have your parents fork out the cash for you then I wouldn't buy a deck from you for that very reason. Unless you plan on paying them back.

Haha, I was kidding about fork out the cash :p lol, if they want to get me something or I might ask them and if they buy it for me grEat, if not, so be it and I'll keep trying other methods. No, I wouldn't fork out the cash from my parents, but somethings that are reasonable for their price they would buy me, plus, I don't buy thousds of dollars of junk that some kids do from their parents, and I always make sure to save money rather than waste it. It comes to points in time, when my parents say that they rarely buy me stuff etc... So they might as well buy me whatever it is, see what I'm saying. So yea, I'm not FORKING out cash from anyone, I keep grades high and tight, so hopefully you understand.

Just save up enough cash to buy and NFB?
Maybe ask your parents to give you an allowance for a while instead of buying you one thing?

Ahh I get it then. When you are younger and don't have parents that give you an allowance and you are like just a little too young to get a job the struggle is real. Good luck on trying to get a mold or making a new mold

Honestly, the money that you spend on constantly buying bondo will sooner or later equal out to how much an nfb mold costs. Bondo will break on you depending on how much you use it.

End of that, made an amazing mold, medium-medium low kicks, mellow concave. Very even shape, and just looks superb!I'll be now making 32-33mm decks!!!
