Longboard bench chair DIY

Here is the first project that will be for sale at the local swap meets and flea markets. Follow us on Twitter or Facebook for updates.

I made a Long-board and Skateboard bench stand. Welding project DIY.

See how i made the wood skateboard and longboard bench tops

Here is my process for making legs for skateboards or longboards to turn them into a bench. I made the bracket fit new-school and old-school skateboard bolt patterns.

I start by cutting the skateboard brackets

I made several…

I used a skate spacer to mark the holes

Then a drill press, small bit then large bit

6 holes, for new-school and old-school bolt pattern

To check my alignment… perfect

Test mount to my mini skateboard (See my other article)

I was estimating the height

I settled on 14 inches high

Now to pick the leg length

I think 12 inches should be stable.

I plasma cut a channel for the square tube

Looks good…

And it fits!

I made 2. (Other leg designs soon)

A test look at how it will come out.

I marked where the round pipe will sit.

All the pieces ready to weld

Everything is aligned

I attached the plates to my scrap long board to align for welding

Now to tac weld it

First few welds

Now its all filled in.

Test… It felt right.

A little grinding on my welds.

Then some black spray paint

The paint has dried

Ready to install onto longboard

The hardware I have: Nuts, Bolts, and square tube caps.

Bolt inserted

Nuts added, and tightened

Now the square tube caps

Caps added. Nice touch!

Sweet looking bench.

Even the dog approves!

He is dreaming of carving down the road

Please check back soon, I am working on my own design for wooden tops for the bench with a skateboard and longboard design.

I will also include a printable PDF template to make your own!!!
