Thats sick! Do you think a homeless person might have been pissed that you jacked their sleeping spot? 
Yeah im that homeless person dude im pissed
Haha I go down there occasionally to clean it. People have started doing little graffiti on the obstacles and then the city comes and paints over the little tags. It’s pretty funny.
Haven’t been as active on here recently because I’ve been trying to launch and grow my fingerboard company. Been sponsoring events and trying to network offline a bit.
Here’s some process photos:

Thanks! Since sending you one I’ve improved my production and output quite a bit. I’ve also redesigned the compression mold a tiny amount to alter the leverage point. I find all of the detailed design element of creating the perfect fingerboard very interesting.
Here’s some fun behind the scenes CAD renderings while working on the last mold design:

Onshape!(I think.)
Currently working on building up some website stock. The new graphics will be arriving in the mail very very soon! The website is www.chknfingerboards.com and the Instagram is ChickenFingerboards. Leading up to the website drop I’ll post stuff on the insta, but I’ll also post on here if anyone becomes interested.
I haven’t tinkered with squarespace really in depth but I think it would be cool to have a discount code that’s yoyo related so yoyoers get a deal.

I wish I had a cool little drill press. Mine is just a cheap full size one. That said, I’ve been looking into replacing it with a mini drill press for no other reason than I think it’s fun.
