ahh nice design, it seems as i just finish my prototype everyone else is like lets make a deck!!
but anyway how would you attach the top plate to the square tube?if you used a bolt would it go all the way through, that would ruin 50-50, feble, and smith grinds. just some things to think about.
Everybody is making decks, Including me. Ive been designing mine for a while now but I havent had enough money to buy all the alumunim yet. soon though.
One problem I see with your design is all the holes in the square tube. Every hole creates a weak point and with that design there is alot of them.
If they are eavenly distributed, you'll just have eavenly distributed weak points. What im trying to say is that there wont be one point weaker than the other but the strength of the tube itself will decreased. I dont think that stalling or grinding is what will brake a deck. More like gnarly drops and huge airs.
the closed back wheel would make manuels a living hell...... unless you made it a wheelie bar or one of those sparking things that i thinck are called tail devils that go on the tail of skateboards and spark when u touch the ground with it.
Bolts=hole=weak spot.
Welds. I think the back wheel being surrounded would be cool, you could do some seriously new tricks with that. Blunts and new stuff.

use carriage bolts and cap nuts for the bolts. and i would use square spacers for in between instead of round it mite make it stronger. and for the top rivit it
nice. keep working on it, has potental. i like the closed back. what cad program is that?
and with all these ppl puting out part designs, im gonna be hella pissed if i open one of these threads and see something similar to what im designing. then some dickhead is gonna say "great minds think alike" and im going to kill myself
ima prematurely post my designs/concepts within a week even though there not done. aaaaaaaaaaaaaagh
IMO i wouldnt have the deck held together by bolts. its just not the best thing to use. weld in some solid flat bar or something like that. its much stronger and more reliable.
but other then that, that looks pretty awesome. btw, what programe did you use?
