1. Under water cameracase
2. Carbon fiber Handle
3. Mould for bottom or flat deck(+fixed 4track)
4. Pink Punk dubbelburger
5. Black Beauty (only top deck)[/b]

thanks...

the bis are made from 3 pieces of 4mm ply for each "level". For the upper piece Ive just made another mould as the one seen above. Then you just need alot of clamps to get the right presure. And the first one snapped since it did not have the right presure, but the "new batch" works very good. And It is NOT worth the time or the money to make one. But if you think its fun, then try it out.
The handle I had some kind of fome that I shaped the handle in. Then I hade som carbon fibre (expensive, but my friend got me some for free ) Smile

. I used epoxy with a normal paint brush. You should vacuum it, but it works any way. I think I made myn too thick, but at least it wont brake... Cool

it is darn light anyway. And that one was not woth the time or the money either. But now I have a good confidece in building things. My latest project is a 2-peice surfboard, since I have to fly to surf..

The tennis balls are for that extra Bjorn Borg feeling! harder pop, higher pop.. Rolling Eyes

no seriously, they decrease the preassure on the top deck so it won't break. Works amazingly well! But I've gone over to rubber tubes now, for the preassure to become more even. Maybe I'll post a photo of that later on....

Thanks for the compliments, guys!

I was thinking about attempting to make a bi level but the main thing that was holding me back was i dont have any risers or anything to attach the two decks. Did you already haqve a bi?
