    Pretty cool.

    I did it the other way round for my CDT GCSE – I made a skateboard from an old table top. I managed to produce a lovely concave and I was quite proud of it. I sold it for £50

    Fantastic, love the end result. Pretty labour intensive!

    I made (part of) a quarter-pipe for my BMX bike in my woodwork class. Unfortunately the school didn't have enough wood available in the store cupboard for me to finish it, so it rotted away (unfinished) in my parents garden for about 6 months before being burnt on a bonfire.
    My family home was not a very 'kiddies drawings stuck on the front of the fridge' kinda house.

    Good end result but why skateboards? Far easier to start with fresh wood, paint and cut.

    A Paul Smith Signature Stripe (style) conference table made from skateboards!

    How much cooler can you get? 😎

    I’m planning a kitchen table for my house refurb project which will have a top made from laminated scraps of old broken doors/frames and other scrap wood which I’ve been saving as the project progressed. I love stuff like this!

    You can find a lot of inspiring videos on YT when you search for 'table top epoxy'.

    You need a lot of glue and old skateboards as well!
