Check out this fascinating woodshop tour of Douglas Street Manufacturing, narrated by Rodney Mullen.

Their multiple decks but one-at-a-time press is pretty cool.

The absence of work ethics is staggering.

RM is compulsive about perfection. I used to like the no. 1 world boards when a order would come in I tried to get the ones with the most concave the top deck

Cool video indeed, but I bet the workers got all the (poor) safety-gears specially for the movie.

I'm sure they thought about it, on the last Globe shareholder meeting.

I love how Dwindle makes this huge ado over "resins", yet independent studies have found that the very best resins on the market are only about 92% as strong (read: 8% weaker) as the most mundane wood glues out there.

When presented with the options of believing Dwindle's marketing bullshit, or independently verifiable lab tests, well, I think the choice is pretty clear.... but then, I'm an engineering graduate. Not, a 14 year old kid.

Still, it's really kinda funny what people will believe.

Itīs not what people believe, itīs what they tell the people to believe. They have a mass produced product and too much supply, therefore they have to create a demand, for shit you donīt need or want.

Looks like they know what they're doing to me. Any company that does well for themselves seems to get hated on by some , no matter what! These type of people that can't seem to be happy with anything should just make there own decks. Rodney has his own thing going on and I for one am glad he's still in the game. Keep up the good work Mullen, you are Almost there!

They aren't just a company, they are a corporation. Their goal is to make profit, regardless how.
