Pallet Skateboard

Hi !

In this intructable I'm going to show you how to make a cheap and nice skateboard out of pallet wood.

I'll try to write it without faults even if I'm French ...

Tools You'll Need:

• Saw
• Wood Router
• Sander
• Sandpaper of different grits
• Claws
• Clamps
• Drill

Materials You'll Need:

• Palet
• Some skate stuff (wheels...)
• Varnish
• Skateboard Grip

First, you obviously need a pallet... You can find some in or behind stores and construction sites.

You can use a crowbar or a metal saw, but if you're using a metal saw, be careful to remove all nails.

But don't forget to clean them with sandpaper or a sander.

Spread glue on each plank and join them on the width with a clamp.

Wait 24 hours to dry.

1. Cut it to make it thiner.

Make sure you let a drop at the back what's going to become the tail of the skateboard.

Keep sawing it until you reach a good width (around 1,5 cm)

I've made a pattern on paper after having designed the shape of the skateboard. Really helpful.

And don't forget to soften the drop of the tail.

Use a round drill on the wood router.

Sand it until you get a smooth touch.

Enjoy !

(N.B. :On the last picture, the wheels are on the wrong side... don't reproduce my mistakes !)
