Sonny Clarke Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I remember when i started a sort of craze in year 7/8 by making a little tech deck out of perspex, bending the tips up, and whacking on some grip tape.Was quite fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely a perspex one (even if it didn't immediately break) would be rubbish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbara Logan-Price Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 (edited) haven't tested it yet and to the guy who asked how i made it 7 thin sheets of ply pressed down with clamps in the mould i made. the nose and tail are a little un curved but meh it wont lose me marks and it will give me something to write about int the evaluation edit: and pete former nwbt Edited April 29, 2008 by Alex_davies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 edit: and pete former nwbt you're such a bitchLooks good stuff though, what else you got to do? Do you have to complelty build it up too and test it?Good method, I used the same to make a partz tray which turned into a coin tray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWOCI WVS Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 has it got any concave to it at all? is it supposed to be a skateboard for skateboarding or for cruising like a longboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Logan-Price Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 whats concave lol ?it made for proper skateboarding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) Skateboard decks aren't flat, the entire deck is concave.Good example there after a few google searches.Ignore the fact the laminate is splitting, we're talking about the fact that the edges of the deck are higher than the centre.I assume it is, because of the blocks of wood you have in the centre of the press.
