How Do You Make A Homemade Snowboard?
Making a homemade snowboard requires a little wood working skill but can be accomplished with a few simple tools. Snowboards are made with very sophisticated presses, saws and high quality woods, but you can make one using birch, pine or other woods, and fiberglass you can buy at a hardware store. Creating real, effective edges is going to a real chore, so to make it simple, we will leave this out. This requires using small pieces of metal edging and setting them into the board. You also have to have very precise cutting tools to create the groove. Step 1 Trace the design of your board onto a piece of poster board and cut it out very precisely. This is your template. Now trace this design onto several sheets of thin birch, pine or maple plywood. Stack them and secure with a C-clamp. Step 2 Cut out your snowboard design using a jig saw, be careful not to cut beyond the line you drew. After you cut the design, use a sander to smooth the edges of your template to the exact shape you want.
