Woodshop Directory 2019 Thread

[shit_for_brains]

I wish wood shops would put some sort of id on the board to indicate the shape like they do with girl/choco.

That's up to the brands to have done. Polar and baker do it but other bbs/gen brands don't. They just have to pay for it.

[roba]

euro aws is generator too. add syndrome brands (lurkville, blvd and mystery?), i asked them on instagram about their woodshop and they told me that they have their own

[sharkin]

You can add Quartet under South Central (I have asked them).
Very good wood quality and graphics, but dimensions and shapes are pretty unusual and may be disturbing for some people.

unsual how? most of the SC boards i've skated seemed pretty normal with a little more concave -- the shovel tails have more a flat bottom with a mellow edge but that fits the shape well

i had a nothern company matchbook deck when they were pressing them at SC, and that deck felt so off but it was also a red top and first board back after an injury so it was probably me

Nice thanks

Oh yes. I thought I'd checked FA already. Good look.

Anyone know who does “Send Help” decks?

[Paco Supreme]

I just picked up a couple older habitat boards, there’s no PS Stix lazer thing so I’m assuming this makes them BBS? There’s a little black warning sticker with made in Mexico on it in the front truck holes

Doesn't BBS also etch the top of the decks? I've seen this on Element decks made a BBS.

anyone has info about where antiz and frank boards are pressed?

skated my antiz several times in the rain and it's still great.

Antiz and Frank are made in a German factory called Medicin/MDCN.

Not sure who else does boards there.

Quality is ok but not Generator.

They just put the heat transfer on the boards, if they even do this in Germany.
I hate the decks from mdcn.

Indeed, never been a big fan.

I always thought for some reasons that they were made in Germany ( how naive of me).

Also, Antiz is known to change their woodshop based on their needs.

Not always. I've had a few AWS since they moved to BBS and they all just had the Mexico sticker.

I know Habitat has been doing some of their boards and PS and some of them at BBS. I got one of the exposition reissues this past spring at it was still PS, though I spoke with (on here and IRL) a few people riding Habitat boards that were BBS.

I am wondering if they are/were in the process of moving all production to BBS since they've merged with AWS again. That would rule.

[subparcurbslapper]

Anyone know who does “Send Help” decks?

Send Help is PS and they actually have some pretty sick shapes.

[smackenzie]

Don't mean to put a useless bump but just wanted to show appreciation for the directory. My go-to when searching for a new board to try.

Would like to say thanks as well.
And whine about my current obsession: flat, narrow boards (certainly by the standards of the day). Who has em? I can’t break boards, I’m super old and skate slow. Just trying to land a few more floppy tricks before I turn to dust

[SweetDickWilly666]

Anyone know who makes Club Midnite? It looks like BBS/Generator with the little round warning sticker but that’s it?

[j....soy.....]

That's usually all the info you need....

[TwisT]

has anyone ever had a finesse board? Know anything about the wood or what the shape is like?

[CoMpLeMenTs4Uonlysometime]

What's the deal with this??? Anyone tried

[Paco Supreme]

I watched a CCS product test with them last night, it’s two little bumpers in the ply at the nose and tail that supposedly make it a lot harder to chip and keep its shape longer. I don’t know how much I trust these videos but compared to the other Santa Cruz they had along side it it held up well

[tony volume]

I’m gonna start up a small board company through Clutch later this year. Anyone know the quality of them? I’ve ridden a homie’s board who rides for the distribution, and I enjoyed it. Looking for feedback

MDCN gets their boards from Excel woodshop in china who do crailtap wood and nhs boards.

I had a few runs through them a few years ago. I'm pretty sure I stuck with the S and C shapes. Good quality and good customer service. They have a lot of different shapes so I suggest spending some money and getting some samples. They also have a 50 deck minimum per graphic but you have the option to get different shapes/ color veneers (5 deck minimum per shape/ color veneer). Turnaround wasn't too long either.

I’m excited to try a few samples, I’m eyeing a few shapes already. They make an 8.75 twin tail. That looks interesting.

I’ve had a few of their boards. I generally like them, but I break them a lot. I don’t usually break boards, but I’ve broken almost every one I’ve had. I’m also a little bigger and heavy on my feet so take that all with a grain of salt.

[nosneb]

I’ve never snapped a clutch board. But I’ve seen everyeone else snap theirs. I do notice they chip really easy. I can describe them to feel like dlx board but slightly thicker but sogs out quick like a psstix board.

[jerrygurneyscream]

I heard from multiple shops/sources that Chapman is going through some issues right now. Pretty sure those companies using Chapman have switched to Generator. For how long I don’t know.

Sucks because Hopps boards in 8 and 8.125 are my favourite.

I had friends making boards through chapman and theyd consistently fuck up orders and send wrong quantities. they also had a woodshop in maine that closed down last year and i think that has a huge part of why everyone has been leaving them.

I also haven't heard great things about Chapman. I've seen kids break brand new boards that were from a local brand manufactured through Chapman. Maybe they use less quality wood for smaller brands opposed to Zooyork or whoever else they work with
