I built my own skateboard once. It was made of the finest maple 2 by 4 I could find. To it I nailed the metal-four-wheel roller skates complete with the leather starps to the bottom – one at each end of the 3 foot board. I was done with roller-skating. The ride was a bit rough along the concrete sidewalks but I enjoyed every moment. When the nails were new it was tough to make a turn as they held in the skates pretty good. But after a while as the nails loosened up, you could probably bank that baby a good 8 to 10 degrees in both directions. It wasn’t long before I was doing a slalom course. Of course when the nails became too loose, look out! After a while I learned to travel with spare nails and a hammer.
Cheers.

Picnic table looks great Sonnie. I would love to see the finished product and I definitely think you should make your own skateboard. I’ve made my own and I really enjoyed the process and satisfaction that I got out of making it. When you think about it the process of making things is similar to the process we go through in climbing.

I remember once reading a quote from Eric Pehota that said something to the effect of: “why the hell would someone pay money for something they could do themselves?”
