Here I show off my longboard skates I've made. All of them we're made without epoxy (I don't like the stuff). Only with D4 wood glue.
The Zeppelin pintail is my daily ride for almost a year now and I love carving and dancing with it. The Pink Cat is one I made my daughter of 6. The Barbapapa is my trickboard.
If you've got any questions how I did things don't be shy to ask.

What is the length of the pintail? I have a pintail-ish board that I made from stock five-ply cut fairly narrow to give it a little bounce. However, I am considering making a more standard three-layered design.

What was your method of make, lamination? Carving?
I'm planning on making one so I'm looking at different methods.
What wood was used?
Thanks :D

Thanks! It should be a couple months before it's done; for now I have yet to source the material though I think it should work out ok; I'm doing it in a wood tech class at high school so I've got a fair bit of help with this.

I´m a teacher in arts and crafts in a secondary school. I love to make things. Especially out of nothing, worthless materials, garbage and cheap stuff.
