DIY boards/graphics

[finknoos]

Here are some boards that a couple of my mates did for me so i can put them on the wall







Im fuckin hype on all of em, especially the approach she took with the last one. Scratching into the graphic so you still have my original wheelbite marks

[Hercules Rockefeller]

love the last one.

[sweatercuff]

yeah all of those are really cool, but the 3rd one is my favorite because its a style and approach I haven't seen very much.
plus the zippo is a fun 3d element.

Your lawn looks pretty well kept too. Good shit, Flik!

[tangar]

3rd one is definetely my favorite too. but i love the double nostril piercing on the second one. i used to have one and i miss it a little.

[JamesNtheGntPch]

wow that must take a while to do then.  do you access to a belt sander?

Yes it does take a while, but I don't really mind the extra work. I used to only use handtools when I was a kid, and I still don't trust electric drills with my mounting hardware.


and sadly no, just a handheld electric. but she's done me just fine thus far.
One day, when I own a home, I will have ALL THE TOOLS.
(I almost picked up a bansaw from the Habitat for Humanities store today for 40 bucks, but I couldn't afford to spend even that meager amount of loot on anything what with my big trip back east coming up on tuesday. Hopefully it'll still be there when i get back mid-July)

Ah yeah I guess I'm lucky to have my dad's garage to go to whenever I need to piece some things together.  I know what you mean about doing it by hand too.  I did all the sanding and refining of the edges with a metal file after I cut the last board I posted. 

Where are you on the east coast?

Have been working on this badboy for the past couple of days, and now it's finally done! It was an old, used DGK board before I decided to cut it into a cruiser, erase the graphic and handpaint it. Pretty happy with the result!

Ah cool, I've never been further north than New York.  I should take a trip up to see the wonders of New England sometime soon.

New board for the shop is coming out tomorrow


I went subtle with it. the text is actually scrambled like a composition notebook. I think it'll look good when all set up.
and to think those images were once on my phone.
Man, I cant wait till my next handmade project, this whole computer bullshit doesn't even feel real.

Glad I'm not the only one appreciating that fine Festool.

Yeah I met the whole crew during my stay this time. My good buddy is Alex, the kid that always rides the giant orange cruiser wheels at shitpark. he built the weird lumpy quarter and lumpy smokestack/lighthouse bank. They're all good dudes, Rice knows how to cultivate greatness and keep the kooks out.
But I'm back in the desert now.
Moving back east hopefully in less than a year though.

[tangar]

it's pretty bad, I know

at first i was gonna let your cruiser board in the "set-up" thread slide, but this clearly belongs in the "griptape art" thread. so go delete your cruiser from the set-up thread and put that in the cruiser thread where it belongs after you delete this and put it where it belongs.

[killerkhole]

Sweet saw this this thread and thought I would contripoop. This is the start of my recycling skateboard decks program . used two broken decks to make this backpack board . just broken newshcool Popsicle type decks reshaped .

[sweatercuff]

nice killer. real nice. awesome shape, cool concept for rails
how wide is that? I've noticed recently there are more and more small trucks being brought to market with all these minicruisers that everyones putting out now, thats probably the cherry you should top this sundae with when you get the chance (even though those ones you've got on it now are pretty close).

I really like that this thread has started to cover everything from graphics, shapes, concepts, completes (and yes, even stealing the occasional grip art job from THAT thread)
Keep it up everyone. MOAR.

^ I just checked for tracker mid-tracks to recommend because of your post.  I bought a pair when I made my bananaboard.

Then I found that because of Penny Boards popularity you can now get Penny trucks for a bit less.

[chillout]

the diy clothes thread sucks so im posting here.

started making a few for myself, then people started wanting them, and now i cant keep up with orders. having fun and making a little cash

[sweatercuff]

ooooo I don't like it one bit. I might have crossed some lines with my pocket cruiser, but still... outright softgoods now?

They do look pretty chill though, Chill.

I come to the thread with a board not my own. This is found art.
And I realize on the surface level, it might just seem like a sticker job, and a dull singular one at that...but I think given the subject matter...there is something incredibly perfect about it.

[sweatercuff]

Just bought a Roger, the shape and size are perfect (as the other Roger I had before was), but I'm gonna be doing a little re-working to the graphic over the next day or three. Something about the bright primary colors with white...it's like that Dill board i made into my arm contour line drawing...it just looks too "little kid-ish / Lakai mid '00s colorways" for my personal tastes.
Find and follow me on instagram to watch my process, I'll be starting after I eat some lunch today.
I'm sweatercuff on there too.

[sweatercuff]

Here's the alteration for those of you that don't instagram









and when I started to set it up, I realized it matches my new wheels too.

[codithou]

wowowow

[MrMello]

That looks great man.
I was feeling broke and bought a blank board so threw this on it:
