Pretty much the simplest, fool proof longboard press you can make.

Very cheap and effective, though limited to concave only. No 3 dimensional shapes.

For a video actually showing a board being press with a similar setup, check this out: http://vimeo.com/5294000

  • how long do you keep the board clamped?

  • @zerofunk01

    overnight.

    and then I usually don't stand on it till a few days.

  • will this give even pressure all the way across the board?

  • @njw2137

    No.

  • @OtherPlanetsSkate so wont it delam?

  • @njw2137

    Its even enough for 1/8" baltic birch, but if you're trying to do maple, or formica, or 1/4" bb it wont work.

  • really cool

  • Will this work with maple?

  • Nice Video! This press is really simple. We just released a making-of video from the POGO Longboard manufactory in Southern Germany. They use an old Ski press. Works really good, too! Check out our YouTube channel to see how they build a Longboard from scratch with snowboard technology!
