Introduction: Skateboard Rack
The Story
My son has couple of skateboard lying around and one long board that I made (you can see my intractable here: https://www.instructables.com/id/Longboard-From-Scrap-Wood/). This situation is becoming dangerous because he is leaving them every ware. So I needed to make something to organize them and keep them away so nobody will step on them. I saw some ideas on internet and decided to make my one.
Materials:
- Wood planks
- Wood glues
- Philips screws
Tolls:
- Jigsaw
- Orbit sander
- Table saw
- Router
- Screwdriver
- Sending paper
- Drill press
- Carpenter angle gauge
Step 1:
So after selecting my wood planks I decided to go with slots for six skateboards final dimensions are 17cm x 83 cm
Step 2:
I used carpenter angle gauge to copy the same angle for all slots. Slots are 2cm wide. I marked one line 4 cm of the edge that is my guide was the slots ends. As you can see from the markings I made mistake when marking the slots.
Step 3:
After I marked all the slots I used a drill press with 20 mm drill. The center of the hole is on the line and end of the circle on the lines marked. I used tape to hold the planks together so that slots are symmetrical. With wood file I roughly smoothed the inner ages of the slots.
Step 4:
I used my table saw so to make slots for vertical wood plank that will keep them together
Step 5:
Using a round rooter bit I made smut edges. My rooter bits are not so sharp as you can see from the burn marks but it is no problem they disappear with sanding
Step 6:
After everything was sanded it is time to assemble the shelf and test.
Step 7:
I did not like the last slot so I decided to cut it and left with six slots
Step 8:
Final step: protecting the wood.
Step 9:
I added two hooks for hanging a backpack and helmet.
