Make your own skateboard?

Use the metal class to weld up and make a jig that can be used to press the wood while glued/resined and forcing it to curve and have contour.

I did a few longobards and still ride one thats a little over 5ft long. I used wood to build a curved bottom and top part for a jig then used my truck to press it by driving up on to the jig. A metal one with a few bottle jacks or bolts downt he sides would be cool.

Just an idea lol.

I used canadian maple veneer and can't remember exactly how many layers plus tried a fiberglass layer as the core once...it was all fun experimenting and could do any shaping you wanted to it.

I think theyre pretty neat. When the water runs down your crack as you let one out... its like shitting in a crockpot.

That's a good idea, my teacher said we could mess with fiberglass

A simple one would be square tubing with bolts down either side maybe every 3-5 inches and just build two halfs that have matching curves. Place however many layers you want plus resin or glue and fiberglass if you plan on it..and get the mold tightened before anythign starts to cure..you should try to use stuff with longer setup times to make it easier. The 5ft board I use was made from veneer and tightbond 3 LOL...and its so flexy its fun with some of the widest trucks I could find and some big wheels it hauls ass downhill too..I use to be into longboards and carving the biggest hills I could find.
