Instructions

• Cut all timber to the lengths directed in the cutting list.
• Take your front piece and mark up the skate trucks. Leave about 100mm between each board.
• Cut out the marked section, this should be about 70mm x 50mm

Tip - Drill 2 holes in each corner before cutting with a jigsaw, this acts as a turning circle for the jigsaw blade to change angle.

• Now grab your two side pieces. We are going to cut a rounded curve at the top.

Tip - use an old bottle to get the curve you want. I used a bottle of glue and the lid for the hook.

• If you would like to add a helmet hook use something that has a small circle like a lid.
• Once all the curves are marked cut with a jigsaw.
• Give all timber a good sand, focusing on the freshly cut edges

Tip - a pencil can really help to get in the nooks and cranny’s 

• Slap a coat of paint on all the pieces before you bring it together

• Now it’s time to assemble: Start with the back boards placing the top at 50mm and the second at 200mm Attach with a line of glue and a couple of nails. Next, attach the base board flush with the bottom the second back board. Attach with a line of glue and a couple of nails.

• Lastly, attach the front hanging rail. Make sure this is centered before nailing into place.
• To tidy everything up, hammer all the nails below the surface of the timber with a nail punch
• Cover these holes with a small amount of timber putty.
• If you want to take it to the next level add some grip tape to the front rail.
• Last but not least, use some over the door hooks to hang your skate rack in any room of the house.
