The complete guide to making your very own press, used to make handmade skateboards, longboards, and cruisers. This press method uses basic materials yet allows you to add nice kicktails and lots of concave to your boards due to the high amounts of pressure that it can generate. The basic construction of the form is scrap wood, 2x4s, a sturdy board, threaded metal rod, washers, and nuts. This basic technique can also be used to add camber or rocker, and even make drops downs if you get creative. Feel free to ask any questions you may have about the press!
