- 1). Trace the shape of your skateboard onto the plywood once, and the shape of the four inches on the front and rear ends of the board once more each.
- 2). Cut the skateboard shape with the jigsaw.
- 3). Cut the end pieces by cutting around the pencil outline of your board, then completing the cuts with a horizontal cut. The end pieces should resemble D's without the centers cut out.
- 4). Using the liquid nails, attach the end pieces to the underside of the full-board piece of plywood and leave to sit.
- 5). Cut a 1-inch-wide strip of plywood to fit snugly between the two end pieces.
- 6). Attach the strip to the underside of the board, between the end pieces and running along the center of the board, creating an H-like shape on the underside of the board in conjunction with the two end pieces.
- 7). Use the lathe to carve a 1-inch-deep, 1-inch-wide groove around the center of the cylinder.
- 8). Lay the cylinder on the ground, and place the bar on the underside of the board into the cylinder's groove.
- 9). Stand with one foot on either side of the cylinder and attempt to balance without either side of the board touching the ground.
