    I used to build my own skateboards out of an old metal skate nailed on to a piece of wood, this evolved to a custom piece of wood made in woodshop with skate rink skates screwed on. This was well before skateboards were commercially available. It may have been a California thing as it was the land of sidewalks, lots of new concrete everywhere...

     

    I was thinking of ice skates. like, is this guy serious? took me a bit, i've got snow on the brain.

    Any golfers in this crowd?

    I love to golf, but golf doesn't love me. We also have real abbreviated seasons here in the greatish white north. I try to go to the range 2 - 3 times a week when its open. i don't hit the ball straight enough to feel confident out on full length courses so I stick to pitch and putts until I figure out my driver.

    My roomate and I have been brewing beers. Here’s a wheat ale that we just opened up

    This is our second batch. We’re going to try to make the next batch more clear/less hazy but controlling the temp better and chilling the wort faster

     

     

    You guys give good head...

    I generally go for the mid range household stuff.. The professional versions are so so expensive. But obviously if you go too cheap then its probably going to chip your wood and not last very long.. If I am busy id say they would last me a year or so before they start showing signs of needing replacement. So for instance with routers, one of the important functions is being able to use the depth meter and the plunge.. That plunge action starts to stick after a while as dust gets caught in there. And on all of them the motors will just start to under perform after a while...

     

    Stuff like this

    And then a jigsaw, drill and a few different sanders.. Random orbital sanders are great.

     

    I would also say, start off with some cheap wood. I used an old door for my first ever attempt and pallet wood to try stuff out on.. Things like that. And I watched many many videos of people building on youtube.

     

    Fortunately, from my time in construction, I have a large amount of professional grade power tools. Realistically, I don't see why I couldn't get into this for around $600 or so. It just needs to bloody well warm up so I can actually go into my garage.

     

    Thanks for the advice.

    Do it [thumbup]

     

    I work out of my parents garage (cos I don't have one) and I use all hand power tools and manual tools... No big fancy bench tools for me (yet :) ). Its all router, drill, various sanders and lots of hand sanding.. I make my own templates from MDF...

     

    And I use and angle grinder to shape my necks :) (messy but fun)

     

     

    twist my arm a little more. What power tools do you use? I'm gonna start pricing this out.

    What do you reckon on this...

     

    Theres another guitar forum that I go to where a guy has put a design up that hes drawn for a different shape..

     

    This is what he did.

     

     

    Everyone was talking about the design and what they would do.. So I decided to have a go... I came up with this and posted it and its been over a day with not a single response [crying] .. But you know what.. the more I look at it the more I like it... Im actually thinking about building it :) What do you think?

     

     

    Reminds me of an Explorer with an added upper wing. Could be a fun project.
