Final Design on Skateboard

Coming back from the winter break I was one of the fortunate students whose board had not been damaged. We were assigned to create 5 different stencils on the winter break, which I had: For my preliminary deck I choose the one which had the Canadian flag on it. After consulting Ms. Cockburn about it I was told that because the Canadian flag is a logo I would not be able to use it. For that class I was planning to start the preliminary decks but had to go back to brainstorming.

Process of Building the Board

Image
#1 Special glue was poured on the top side of the layer of the board #2 Rollers were used to spread the glue out on the board face #3 The second layer of the board was put on the first #4 Glue was poured once more and steps 1-4 were repeated #5 The last layer of the board was aligned on and this process was completed #6 The board was placed on styrofoam that was the same size as the board #7 A red piece was put on the board to make sure the board would not compress too much. The board with the red piece was placed in a plastic bag #8 The bag was sealed #9 The air in the bag was pumped out so the board could harden Once the board was left for 24 hours it was ready too take out of the bag. Then we were ready too carve and sand it.
