| This is by the bowl. notice the skater flying over the lip. This kid was seven years old and was ripping up. Another bit of trivia...while I painted the center logo, Todd pointed a camera at me and broadcast to the world on the internet. Everyone at the Independent Truck Company watched me paint this. Wish I had known. Don't know if I scratched in any inappropriate places. |

The picture of the skateboard deck on my truck really shows the scale of this thing.

Starts with a design...and some 1/2" plastic. I cut the rough shape out with a bandsaw and sculpted the image with a hand held grinder. I flame polished the plactic, (after plenty of sanding) and mounted it in a box. Poured silicone rubber in the box to make a mold. I made a jig to hold a t-nut in place as I poured the resin into the mold. It cures enough to pull it out of the mold in about 15 minutes. After trimming the edges and sanding off the exposed part of the t-nut I primed and painted them. These are going to be attached to skateboards and presented as a trophys. Thanks Todd for the opportunity.
