Greetings all. I’ve jumped across from Esk8 news because I’ve still got a few minutes to spare in the day after the hours read over there haha
I’ve done a few DIYs but still learning. I’ve had a crack at custom enclosures (usable but not great looking), skinning decks and have battery building next on list of skills to learn. Battery maybe later in the year for a little hub build.
It appears there are several familiar user names over here too 
Good to see you here my man 
Cheers. Was good reading through your thread on the enclosure and deck u did for me. Brought back memories of that excitement wait period and reminded me how much work went into it again!!!
I’ve glassed the bottom of the other LY deck and will do top once I get inserts in after enclosure made. Will probably just grip tape top unless I come across a print i like.
Welcome! Good to see you here and I’ve matched your level from esk8news.
Cheers 
Pleased to meet you 
Hey man welcome to the forum. Nice arm too. I used to arm wrestle a little when I was a trucker trying to get my sons respect.
Haha thanks I think. You’re a hard one to gauge the seriousness of 
Looks like I’ve found the super-duper esk8 forum where all the cool shit happens…
I’m just a regular Michael…… I used to skate heaps with my neighbor as a kid, we had a half bowl across the road from where I used to live and we spend a full two summers fucking around there until the local council ripped it out 
.
Fast forward a few centuries later COVID hits, my job is dead, local laws have us in and out of lockdowns for months on end, can’t leave my house, can’t ride my dirt bikes and I needed something to fill the gap of adrenalin my life was missing and also needed something to do with all this newfound time at home I have.
I’m two builds down and thinking about my third…… Flexy Deck, Small Carver……
For me, the best part about DIY is the fabrication, sanding, spraying, making something from nothing. This is the shit the keeps me going and keeps me sane.
Anyhow, I’m going to go back to lurking. Think I might have a go at some glass frit as my next endeavor……
Wait come back. . Nice board.
Just a 39 year old Norwegian who just found pure joy in esk8.
Have 2 kids. Boy (minime) 12 and girl 17. Engaged to a 10 year younger beauty. I’m a carpenter. Went from bulding houses garages and cabins to furniture. Built my workshop on the cabin property, and now i go to work when i want to. Wich is quite often in the summertime.
This is me! 
Edit: And this is my very first build.
Evo with boardnamics m1 helicals, 270 hangers with 34 rear 54 front, 6384, acido 10s4p 40t3, stormcore 60d+, forged carbon enclosure by bigben, abec11 107mm, hoyt puck. Really really stable.
Very beautiful build, how do you like the abec 11 107mms with the M1 street drives? I have a very similar setup with the same wheels.
Can I please see that forged carbon enclosure too?
I like them. Though not as comfy as they looked. If i could i would go for pneumatics for the rougher asphalt areas we have here. But not bad. But not awesome either. Then again, i have no reference to other wheels. 
Sure. Here it is.
That’s a dream build. What are the new boardnamics heli GD like now. I have an early set that are constantly coming loose.
Thanks! I’m very happy with it. Had no problems so far. Couple screws came out a little because of vibration. Of the 3 inside ones, but loctightened them and no more loosey for 100 kilometers. Think Kevin forgot the blue goo on them. 
If my math is right, you or lets better say your better half started early 
Welcome here!
Workshop threads are not mandatory but a thing here. Maybe you get around to start one from your workshop as well.
Honestly one of the nicest first builds I’ve seen.
Hahaha no. Shes not the mother.
Thanks alot! That’s really cool to hear.
