Click for The Handmade Skateboard!!!
The Handmade Skateboard is the definitive book on building custom skate
decks of all shapes and sizes, from the high-performance street deck to
the classic longboard to a vintage pinstripe cruisers that will turn
heads everywhere you go. When you make
your own skateboard from scratch you have the opportunity to create
something that is perfectly tailored to you: a deck that matches your
height, your weight, your center of balance, your skill level and your
intended use. More importantly, making your own
skate deck allows you to design a perfect deck to fit your personal
style, making a statement about who you are. There's nothing wrong with
choosing off-the-shelf and mass produced, but who doesn't prefer to
stand out. Be different. Be one of a kind. That's
what you get with a custom handmade skateboard. Whether you are an
accomplished woodworker or an absolute beginner, The Handmade Skateboard
guides you step-by-step through building five skateboard designs; from a
simple Hack Board built in a few spare hours
to a high-performance street deck pressed from seven layers of
high-quality Maple veneers. A design guide covers everything you need to
know about sizing and shaping your deck and choosing the right trucks
and hardware. And detailed photos, illustrations and
clear written instruction throughout provide all the information and
motivation you need to make your own skateboard from scratch.
