Hey Guys!
It's Mike from The Geek Pub, and on this episode I'm going to show you how to make this awesome
skateboard rack!
To make the sides of the rack I'm going to cut this piece of plywood down into two 9
inch sections, eighty-two inches long.
To make this go a little faster I'm going to use this double-sided tape, and that will
allow me to cut both pieces at the same time.
The top of the skateboard rack is rounded-over and I'm just going to that with a compass.
This skateboard rack is designed to hold ten skateboards,
but you can make yours hold any amount that you would like.
I have the skateboards set six and half inches apart from each other so I'm just going to
make a tick mark every six and a half and then every ever one and a quarter inches.
Once you've got all of the tick marks in place its just as simple as connecting the dots.
OK.
I'm going to use a Forstner bit to drill all of the centers of all of the slots and this
will leave the backs of the slots with a nice rounded effect.
OK.
So I am just going to use the jig-saw to cut out all of the slots and curve over the top.
Using a quarter-inch round-over bit, I'm just going to round over all of the slots and the
front of the face.
On the table saw I'm just going to cut out four ten inch by six inch stretchers for the
back support.
I'm just going to mark and pre-drill where the stretchers go.
And finally I'll just screw everything together with wood screws.
Well hey guys, that's all it takes to make a super cool skateboard rack.
Connor will probably come back and paint it at some point in the future, but right now
he's too excited so he's putting his skateboards on.
