Introduction: Longboard/Skateboard Rack

About: I'm a Texan living in South Africa as a missionary with my family working along side Samaria Mission

I want to get into making longboards, so I had some cut outs made onto some ply wood (instructable coming soon) and I decided before I make these longboards let me make something to hold them so I decided to make this rack.

I didn't take any measurements I just eyeballed it to see if they were the same.

Step 1: What I Used

  • a drill and a wood bit size 22"
  • jigsaw
  • speed square
  • clamps

Step 2:

I started by drilling holes where the boards will go with the depth that I wanted.

Step 3:

Then I used the speed square to make a perfect line from the hole the end of the plywood.

Step 4:

Next I got the speed square and clamps and used them as director for the jigsaw by clamping the square down where I needed it.

Step 5:

Once I had the lines cut out I used some screws cant remember what size they were but I put the two pieces next to each other and screwed them together. Once they were together I got the speed square and made a slight angle and used the jigsaw to cut it (sorry don't have picture for it).

Step 6:

Then I got a square piece of plywood and and put it at the bottom and did my best to get the screws perfectly inline with the rack (this picture is not the wood I used because I don't not have the holes lined up properly).

Step 7: Finished Product

I did not use a stain or garnish because I like the way plan wood looks I've don't that with a few of my wood working products for my room.

P.S. This is my first instructable to write, I'm hoping to get better
