Ideas for making stuff with old decks?
« on: November 27, 2021, 06:03:46 PM »
Curious what people have made with old soggy decks. Some stuff I've seen or though of:

Frankenboards
Luge boards
Wall art
Snow skate with plastic rails, rubber grip and epoxy coating
Coffee table?
Charcuterie board sanded and stained with mineral oil?
Old trucks as cabinet handles?

What else you got

I’ve sanded off the graphic and cut a few down to a narrow 60s style surf shape and hang them as “abstract art.” I did keep some Gonz stuff on a krooked I did this with.

But what do you do with old trucks? Coat hangers?
You know I thought these forums were a for skating not discussing fetishes

I used two old trucks as coat hangers in the garage for dirty/wet coats - they work great!

Also, I made a bench yesterday out of an old board. It looks very nice but isn't too practical, so it's just a nice piece of furniture to have or for additional guests to sit on.. or maybe as a bench to sit down while putting on shoes?

I'm eventually going to customize the interior of my 85 Vokswagen vanagon. thinking about using old decks on the walls for paneling.

I've been wanting to make an air deflector for my roof rack of my car with old decks for awhile, but I can't find the time to tinker around with that.

I have a hard time justifying spending over $100 on a little piece of plastic from Thule. I think  one made of old decks would look kinda cool.

Full boards that’s easy. Cut sideways to show grain that’s like 4+ boards cut at 3/4” wide so still really doable. After a year or so of skating you should have plenty of wood to make it

a ramp over stairs and/or pedestals to use for the hand barrow when bringing in fire wood into the basement for the winter.

Those dudes that restore old decks with wood filler and repaint them are better than porn

I'm building out a van currently, going to use strips cut from old decks to line the doors, might make some shelves too
