Hey everyone, recently I have been planning on making a few decks with a custom press and some Canadian Hard Maple or bamboo depending on the deck. I am not great at drawing so I taught myself how to make longboard templates that can be printed at life size. If any of you need any just ask and I can do it.
Here is a picture of some I have printed: Landyachtz Topspeed, loaded vanguard, and I also have done a jet spud that is not shown.
Hey NickTheDude, you just use photoshop and then resize to the dimensions and then export as a photoshop pdf. Then open it in adobe reader and print it as a poster. Just offering my service because I have photoshop and some may not.
I just thought seeing as though its only a template which you will draw around, and with ink being so damn expensive, it may be better being a template just with the make/model in the middle of it.
Stilla great job though and a super idea (both you who thought of it!) i had considered dipping my toe into having a go at a skateboard deck but my printer would die halfway through that
Thanks a lox897 the template was very good!!
i could´n test it more than 5 minutes today, it was quite wet the road, but the flex and the feel it was great!!
Tomorrow i will give it some sandpaper and transparent griptape.
lox897 could you make for me some templates? i would like to have Crownboards royal tribe,Landyachtz hatchet map,vecter 37,valhalla sho stopper…right now at school om making a big research work and in practical part i need to make longboards…i have been making many templates but all of them aren’t symetrical,so i would be realy thankfull if you could make me all of these templates…
