I just made [this](https://imgur.com/a/SLRX3sw) longboard. I made [this](https://imgur.com/a/LRMNYbi) board for my son a couple of weeks ago, and used the same basic method to achieve the drop. I have no idea how these will hold up under stress, but for now they’re doooope. What kinds of projects have you been working on? ps, ignore my typos on Imgur. I posted from my phone- it was petty and difficult ---

Really cool, been years since I’ve been on a longboard ---

You should get back on it! It’s so much fun cruising and carving around ---

Really neat! I’ve made a few scrap wood boards before but nothing anywhere near as proper as yours; these look great! Be sure to use clear grip tape if you plan on gripping them, you wouldn’t want to cover up that nice wood grain. ---

Nice looking boards! I’d love to have a go at laminating my own deck someday. How long is it? I just ordered a D-street drop through Stag longboard. Looking forward to some carving when it arrives. ---

Thanks man! the first one is 28.5" long and 7.5" at its widest. The second one is 35" long and 9.5" at its widest. I haven’t gotten the hardware for my son’s board quite yet, but I’ll be getting it soon. I hope you have a blast cruising around when it comes! ---

> [@smileypants707](#): > > I hope you have a blast cruising around when it comes! Ye, I’m looking forward to it. I used to skateboard when I was younger and lighter, so I’m looking forward to getting back on a deck. Have you ever tried laminating layers of wood? ---

Nope, but I’ve considered trying it in the future. I don’t have the time or the money to set up that whole process right now.
