REUSE SKATEBOARD PROJECT
This was an academic and personal Project, made during - Material and Process 3 - class at university (UFRGS). The propose was to create a new product using natural materials, for exemple, wood. So i decided to reuse my old street skateboard, to produce a custom cruiser board.
Este foi trabalho com objetivos pessoais e acadêmicos, desenvolvido com assistência do Laboratório de Design e Seleção de Materiais para uma disciplina da graduação. O objetivo era criar um novo produto a partir de matéria-prima natural (madeira), escolhi reutilizar minha antiga prancha de skate (street) para fabricar uma nova prancha de menor dimensão chamada cruiser.
CREATION PROCESS
To transform the old board was followed the next steps:
. Dissassemby the old skateboard
. Draw and cut with an eletric-saw the new sillhuete.
. Use sandpaper to erase the old graphic, and to fillet the cut-edges.
. Use an engraving-laser process to create the new low-relief graphic.
. Drill new holes to cruiser trucks parameters.
. Use mineral oil to protect the wood surface
. Re-assembly the parts and enjoy the city!
