Introduction: Transformer Skateboard!
I had a spare skateboard at home and some extra pieces of metal that I used to hold the skateboard in place while it wasn't being used as a chair. I added chains that held the seat in one position when it was opened and added a scrap piece of wood I had laying around from my gate.
Supplies
- 3 and 1/2 inch screws (2)
- 12 inch chains (2)
- pieces of metal
- skateboard
- screws
Step 1: The Base
I first had to cut inside the wood and add plates that'll hold the cut piece together. I realized once I opened the plates the wood would fall so I added a 3 and a half-inch screw on both sides to hold together the pieces and allow movement to open and close the skateboard.
Step 2: Movement
Adding 2 three and a half-inch screws on each end allowed the skateboard to open up like a chair but it still wasn't ready.
Step 3: Supports
I added two fourteen-inch chains to allow the skateboard to be opened and closed at about an 80-degree angle rather than 180.
Step 4: Final Product
This could definitely use some improvement but from what I had at home this was the best that I could do with what I had.
