The first day of the Longboard Collective was a lot of fun. I have never used longboards before so I came into the day excited to learn about something that was new to me. We started by learning the proper workshop safety and how to use the tools. I decided to create a type of board similar to the one Wayne brought with him. I like the slim cut and how the design isn’t too complicated. We then used band saws to cut out our design and sanding machines to smooth the edges and curves. I haven’t decided on a graphic yet, but I’m thinking of doing something simple. I want the wood to be the base of my graphic because I think that gives it a nice rustic look.
