Make: Online : Skateboards for schools!

Skateboards for schools!

Javier writes "Cool idea for enabling kids to actually make something usable in shop class: from the website: "The fact is, kids have always wanted to make skateboard decks in their woodshop classes but teachers and students never knew how to put the concave shapes and turned up nose and tail in the wood. Decks cut out of plywood and pine stock just don't work! And where do you drill for correct wheel placement in order to get proper flex and balance? Well, Skateboardsforschools.com has taken care of all of that for you!" [via]. Link.

Heh, for the last 3 or 4 years, building a deck has been one of the projets our shop teacher has for us to build.

The Roarockit kits are cooler, in that you actually laminate the plys yourself, rather than cut out a pre-made blank:
