Making my own Skateboards!

This is a really old video, but I just found it again and thought it was pretty cool, so I uploaded it. I loved the boards that I pressed, but sadly, the cement cracked and I haven't got around to fixing it yet..
I built the skate press with my dad in a week or so using the instructions from DIYskate.com and it came out great! Hopefully I get the time to get it working again!

[@nickjackson2910]

What's wrong with Zumies?

[@chrisjeremic9185]

+NJ STUDIOZ it's cancer

[@nickjackson2910]

Is it because people support local shops?

[@uberedteam7780]

Same u live in Canada?

feels...

[@lancebarrilleaux3919]

This dude is so smart ... He can make these and sell them depending on how much the wood cost and all but anyway awesome talent

[@GooseCrack]

ikr he can make a shop

[@CarsCatAliens]

+lance barrilleaux Looks like he needs to make a few more before he could go into production.. Looked like a lot of air bubbles when he was clear coating them.. But, with a little more time and practice, I'm sure he could

[@Heebu100]

You must have had a time machine in 2013

[@gabozun]

Tumeg lol

[@dubcoder]

Also if you're using a jig saw to cut it out.. its much easier if you flip the board upside down!

[@bl00dh4nd4]

Im not a skater but I could see myself doing this as a hobby cool vid

[@Pece17]

Alecz5 The funny thing is that in this kind of video it wouldn't matter whether it was made in 1990's or 2014, completely irrelevant. Cool video, though!

[@Alecz5MC]

[@jessederizzo4911]

Wtf u snow board

[@malyywaterr5424]

garret was just a fetus doing this

[@HyperthreadMusic]

Yeah, cause going to a skate store and buying a deck is too mainstream. xD

[@GarrettGinner]

Making the board is the fun part. It's not that fun going to the skate shop and buying a board when you could put hard work and time into making one and then get stoked when you get to ride something that you made

[@HyperthreadMusic]

***** I'm not saying its not fun, I'm saying making one of these should only be done if you really want to or have a lot of time on your hands.

[@GarrettGinner]

I agree! Thanks for watching!

[@HyperthreadMusic]

***** Welcome! Keep making great videos!

[@kapi2827]

Wow, 7 years ago. Thats a long time. (im in 2020)

[@OGCandyJack]

You are taking skating to a whole another level. What kid makes his own boards? like damn! Inspiration for real. true skater right here

[@vgvcustoms3259]

The ones that have the best kind of dad available haha thats so awesome to see him go haha!

[@ArmyBratz12]

man this is really old no cast lol

[@masikurzzz3413]

Old

[@turtleman4766]

this looks more expensive then just buying a new deck

[@GarrettGinner]

It's not. It's more fun to make your own anyway.

[@smithman013]

***** You could say that agin.

[@ytmyeti4864]

+GarrettDavidGinner how much did it cost to make that press?

[@explodingairsoft]

+GarrettDavidGinner this is awesome ever think off selling em,

[@ytmyeti4864]

***** Yeah, I was thinking of making one when I am older, but I guess in the long term it could be cheaper than buying boards. But then again buying a pro model or a fresh deck is always nice from time to time.

[@gabozun]

Vgv Customs is it going there now to see the picture of the time to go out with you and your family and friends who are the only thing that has to do with it too late for you and your mom is a second chance to win a free one of those things that are not the only thing that you can get a new one and tree.

[@KissingEmbers]

@@gabozun 😁😂wt actual f?

[@StephenDanielAddeo]

I'm impressed. Now I have to follow you and I don't even skate. No store bought plywood here! Next time you should consider laying the plys like DW drums does just to see how the finished product feels. Also, go get yourself a cheap bandsaw, you wont regret it.

[@randylandry5332]

So it takes about 10-15 minutes to make a deck, I could make 5 decks an hour, do that for 10 hours and make 50 decks, sell them for $35 each and make $1,750, I can do that everyday and make $12,250 every week, so that's $580,000 a year just by making decks in my backyard. Doctors and Lawyers only make around $200,000-$300,000 a year. Haha and my parents told me skateboarding was wasting my life, pfft!

[@estebanromero7058]

And if you have a friend who is good with art he can paint sick art on it and double the original price of the boards.

[@wonnie]

What

[@lols221222]

You cant test yourself if you're full of test in the first place

[@wonnie]

***** It takes at least 3 hours to glue a board together.

Snacky Dog oh ok thanks

[@blaineb23]

you could do one of two things or both if you really wanted to #1 you could keep making home made boards and sell them to friends or other skaters in person or online #2 you can go work for a company that makes skateboards and do that for money im just saying those are good ideas I would do that if I knew how to make them

[@MrJonathanSBS]

Anyone else thank this kid should open a shop when he gets older??

[@amayabowman5034]

Garrett runs through boards now that he doesn’t have to make them😂

[@carlosrivera-carano9957]

So your gonna make me one right?

[@BEAR-]

Mr. Ginner can make a better board than Wal-Mart.

[@BEAR-]

+Taco Kid From what I've seen outta Wal-Mart, I think you're totally correct on that one! Take care, have an awesome weekend!

[@nutman3698]

I hate seeing people make "skateboards" out of ply wood. It makes me cringe

[@nutman3698]

***** not this

[@hunter20011]

I met him at Woodward Week 7...

[@Mrboltsful]

Congrats

[@edan]

back when dubstep was cool

[@explodingairsoft]

dub step was never cool

[@gabozun]

we have a great time and place in the afternoon and I will sk8 with the girls and boys and their kids and the other kids and the joy of being a little bit of time with the girls and the kids and the other kids and I will have the money for a few minutes to spare you the best of luck with the kids and the other kids and the joy that is so much fun.

[@mackenziedaw2353]

Also.. R u guys just using sand paper for the top of the deck?

[@j-9403]

Ofcourse not, it's griptape.

[@ZeldaMaster500]

LOLOL what a question

[@calvinenzo7042]

WHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHAAHA

[@mackenziedaw2353]

Sorry I just know people that say that if you dont have grip tape, use sandpaper :P And I know its a stupid question :D lol

[@TallyMark]

is this cheaper then buying boards?

[@elanosvonhasselholf4782]

Probably, but you wont get the same quality

[@TigerN7]

Elanos Von Hasselholf But manufacturers make it the same way so as long as it works who cares about quality :D

[@zmt1010]

if you go through boards quickly it's worth it otherwise it wouldn't be worth it

[@MattMcConaha]

boo man1010 I'm thinking the opposite. It would be a fun thing to do a few times, but after that it's just a hassle. If you value your time at all, then I would say that making your own boards is not cost effective.

[@demmery1160]

probably not, well definitely not if you dont own a single tool then your looking at about a lets say $500 for the tools but if you own all these or can get access to them then yes it would be cheaper and the feeling you get when you see something that you made in use cant be bought. but if you have your heart set on making you own try making 3-4 at a time and selling them to your friends you will be able to cover the cost of the tools in no time and if you truly love making them its a great way to use up your spear time and can make you a few dollars

[@wtfkwqdhwdwd]

hey garrett do u live in lv cuz u look like this kid I always see at desert breese skatepark

[@liamrumble345]

are they good decks

[@elskepode2]

+Ethan hill He asked if they were good decks.

[@tonycheney9614]

He said he loved them but his press broke

now this is grinding man. putting in work to get something done on top of everything else you do. keep up the good work kid. much respect to you

[@jamesmorley.1904]

[@GarrettGinner]

Why do you say that? All skateboards are made this exact same way, just with higher tech machines. Before I got a board sponsor, these boards are all I would ride.

[@Pen1980IM]

+GarrettDavidGinner could you tell any difference in the boards you made vs the boards you`re currently riding for?

[@isaacsamano8697]

+Pen1980IM I can, ones a blank and ones has some colors and some letters. all boards made with the same wood.

[@aksel.paksel1608]

[@LilGooey]

2020 Monday oct 19 this was in my recommend

[@Alamar1]

I'd get a router with a bit that has a guide and use a production board as a template. You might even be able to find a bit that produces the right edge curvature as well to reduce sanding time.

[@Bucky93]

Who else is here from 2021

[@statykelektro4690]

Anyone who seen Happy Gilmore, tell me he don't look like Happy Gilmore's Caddy 😭😂

[@statykelektro4690]

Wow, man. I bet you could do body work with that skill you've got. Excellent video. Subscribed. I'll be Making a Skate/Drift Channel soon! stay tuned!

[@aserta]

Instead of cutting the board with the saw (which is a PITA) just get another board, screw or tape it on top (double sided tape) get a router (rent or borrow if you don't own) and a flush trim bit with a bearing. Adjust it to proper height and cut the new board by following the old one. Goes super fast and you can even use this method on existing boards if for say some reason you like narrow boards, but don't wanna pay 100 $ extra for stupi..err i mean exclusivity to your local company made in China. You just take a regular board and glue it offset on the board you wanna mod. Then flush trim it to new spec. Also a router is excellent for cornering edges round.

[@swiftbunnyOG]

Well good job doing something constructive with your time, props to you...But....For the love of god 2:28....Don't saw your friends arm off...

[@wommybro6423]

It's amazing how simple it is. Not saying it's easy but exactly what you would think. What's that stuff you sprayed it with? I really want to try this out.

[@themikeymikechannel2947]

ok now make a 7 ply plexiglass board but use the press in a medium sized oven and compress/melt them all together so it forms a skateboard. can't be too hard to make bc you have a press machine and all you need now is a medium sized oven to put that press into.

[@theATkid]

Make a video on how to build that press

[@PenutButtahnJelli]

I know this is old but Garret you should keep a Key-guide...like a board you already made to your specifications solely for the purpose of drilling the holes for the hardware. Instead of using a board that is already heavily used and inaccurate. Kudos to you though young man.

[@janpietermanteleers6938]

Why don't you make another video like this? I think it would be cool because it's something else then your vlogs and stuff (wich are very fun to watch btw).

[@smolix100]

Great job.You can balance your board on two needles at the required wheelbase. Then mark this two points and make a straight line between them with a ruler.Mark the plate holes properly and then drill.Yoy have a perfect truck aligment.

[@BrennansPCTechReviews]

dude I clicked on this thinking I was gonna see some shitty board... but it turned out awesome you can go to the skate park and literally have a full custom board

[@MrJohnnyboats]

I have to tell you, you bring that type of stoke to anywhere and you'll be a success. That board you shaped and worked looked great. I hope you're out skating and not reading this.... Smash yer dad, he's raised a great kid.

[@daspunkbob]

sick I should try making my own too

[@tristanramsell7907]

Hey garret, I'm currently in the process of revamping a old skate deck of mine. I like have it sanded but I have no idea what kind of finish to use. What do you recommend

[@amandarobles8223]

Wow you are a really talented kid...No body appreciates handcrafted things anymore. I think you have a bright future ahead of you.

[@JPTHRICE]

why is there over 60 dislikes, quit hatin on dem yung hustlas, yall people cant do shit like them so you hatin on dem yung ass ballers

[@cgoncsplash]

crazy I watched this video so long ago and now just watched it again knowing it was you..been on your channel for awhile now ..hope u get ur MTV deal

[@erikbreaman9124]

But how does it compare to one you buy with tests like hydraulic tensile and compression? I'd actually invest in this if I could get a method down. The goal is the be equal or better in those two tests but be lighter at the same time. The best boards use maple and composite every other layer.

[@wolfhawk9876]

what kind of wood do you use for the board

[@thinkthinkthinker]

We're did you get the press and mold
