Ten of the Very Best Things You Can Make and Do With Old Skateboards

I might be older, and weigh a lot more nowadays, but back in the day I used to be rather good at skateboarding! Flips, tricks and grinds anywhere and everywhere. This post has come about because the other day I found my old skateboard in the garden shed, tried to get on it and fell straight off. So it is time to hang it up permanently, I don’t want to give it away, so I fancy turning it into something…

With the shape of the main deck of the skateboard being much like the blade of a ceiling fan, this does kind of make sense. Please note that if you should decide to buy a set of these just make sure you understand that you only get the blades, not the fan itself.

Certainly one of the strangest things I have seen made with a skateboard, but I also kind of like it as well! With the glass middle deck, it might look much better in the dark than I think it is. No need to make it as you can just buy these, but they are rather expensive.

It might be a simple idea to use an old broken skateboard as a coat hanger/hook, but it is none the less very creative. The only problem I can see is cutting out the middle bit, but it could be a  great for hanging things in a garage or maybe outside hallway.

Did you think these were really just modern comic style kitchen tiles? Nope! They are nothing more than pieces of old skateboards put together to create something simply incredible. Sure you would need a lot of skateboard decks to make one, but it would be well worth asking friends if they have any just to make it!

Using the decks as steps have been done a few times, but a set of stairs is still one of the most amazing things you could possibly make with an old skateboard, but needless to say you might well want to make sure that the decks you use are as strong as possible.
