Homegrown Skateboards on Maritime Made

Homegrown skateboards was established in 1996 as an indoor skate space. It continues to serve as a place to skateboard and host music events, as well as being a retail shop, the space includes a woodworking shop where skateboards are manufactured from scratch using east coast Maple and designed by skateboarders. Homegrown also silkscreens t shirts, hoodies, stickers, posters and other related products.

[@diamantops2972]

Hello, anyone know whats the importance of that much pressure? and whats the minimal to make good decks?

[@Zombie-TV]

It's to make the deck have concave.

[@sk8fyshbyk923]

the deck should maintain the shape of the mold correct? it popped up and off the mold in the video.

What is that type of router head called? The spherical part, thats great for skateboards!

[@HobysVid]

I think it's a roundover bit for routers.

[@pressureflipin1992]

It's called a bullnose router bit

[@ulikb6530]

is there an answer for this router head? Thanx!

[@lukeamato2348]

I'm amazed there arent boards made in the great lakes region considering Canadian maple from the great lakes region is upposed to be the best for decks

EMPIRE SKATEBOARD MANUFACTURING. we've been doing it for 10 years.

[@dw1572]

I'm working on it, I'm still figuring out how to make the press for the board. Its only a mater of time

[@flatpedalswinmedals7274]

​@dw1572 how's it going?

[@user-mx3uk1yy1w]

Is it water-based ink or oily ink? Which color is better?

[@empiremfg5478]

Solvent

[@johnman5698]

what type of board is used for making skateboard dah what kind of glue, can I recommend it?

[@williamkroll7928]

john man try titlebond wood glue

[@kanescrimes4848]

3 years ago I ordered some "environmentally friendly" glue and pressed 3 decks that all de-laminated within one month. I'm not sure how far it's come by now, but I DID hear they're(enviro-glues) MUCH better now. PLUS: The other glue makes you feel neat after a few verniers are coated😵😵😵😵🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮...still fun though.

[@kanescrimes4848]

Don't forget to open windows while using😉

[@empiremfg5478]

Bro Bond Skateboard Adhesive. Not titebond

[@ricklowe6353]

What is the dome attached to the trim router, and where can I get one of these?

[@diegosublime]

Same here, i think is costum mede, it is brilliant.

[@empiremfg5478]

Not necessary, I've made over 20000 skateboards. Don't need no stinkin dome :)

[@theautisticowl7153]

@@empiremfg5478 any videos you can recommend for the best outcome doing this at home?

[@sk8fyshbyk923]

SKUL SKATES!

[@caliber-do1cp]

that looks like a hot press to me

[@empiremfg5478]

Yep and weakens the wood in the process

[@empiremfg5478]

Ok Lol WHAT!? We've been manufacturing skateboards for a decade now and this lady says "It takes (1) 20KG pail of glue to make 90 skateboard decks. 1 Gallon of glue weighs about 9lbs. So you're telling me 5 Gallons will make 90 skateboard decks? If so, please sign me up as I would like your magical unicorn fairy glue. 1 gallon of glue if you're hand spreading like the guy in the video would make 5-6 skateboard decks, if you have a glue machine and spoiled like us you can get 7.5-8 decks per gal of glue. There is 100% no way with 5 gallons of glue you would make 90 decks. Just not possible no matter what. Delam city.

[@unnipa8525]

Bro send me a skateboard deck plzz . ... very expensve deck in india . please give me a duck for me

[@Dulara_ud]

[@logela]

youtube is not the skatepark. you may get a "free skateboard" if you meet your local community, not asking companies for freebies.

[@borackc22]
