The Handmade Skateboard, Revised & Expanded 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 the vintage pinstripe cruiser. When you make your own skateboard, you can create a deck that is perfectly tailored to your height, weight, center of balance, skill level, and intended use. Whether you are an accomplished woodworker or a beginner, you’ll be able to build five skateboards with these detailed step-by-step photos and instructions. Start with a simple hackboard built in a few hours and finish with a custom street deck vacuum-pressed from maple veneers. A design guide covers sizing and shaping your deck and choosing the right trucks and hardware. The section on decorating your finished board, along with the gallery and maker profiles, will inspire the perfect finishing touches.
