Buddy Up: Make a Classic Longboard (Introduction to Woodworking)

Buddy Up: You and a friend will make ONE longboard together. At least one person must be 18+.

Design and build your very own old-school Pintail Longboard Skateboard

This workshop will help you build your own self-powered ride – an old school, hardwood pintail longboard skateboard. A longboard is perfect for cruising around and honing your carving skills. And you’ll get bragging rights when someone asks you where you bought your sweet board.

This workshop is an excellent exercise in the core woodworking skills – planing, cutting, and smoothing a rough piece of hardwood. After honing your deck, you’ll attached the rolling stock so you can ride off in style.

You’ll provide a few choices of wood for your deck, including both solid and plywood, as well as your choice of wheel color.

• What You’ll Be Making: A classic pintail longboard/skateboard

• What You’ll Be Doing: Planing, cutting, shaping, and smoothing hardwood lumber and installing the rolling stock
