- //Support me on Patreon//: / jonnybuilds In this video I’ll show you how to make a skateboard out of acrylic. I built this crystal clear longboard out of some scrap acrylic I had leftover from the side table project. I thought it would be cool have a see though skateboard deck, and the end results were awesome. Now this acrylic skateboard is going to get scratched to hell, but it will still look cool. All the shots and videos of me riding it were filmed at The Womb in OKC. Its an art gallery owned by Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips. Thanks for checking out this skateboard build, and please let me know what you think in the comments below.

Looks awesome man! Now I want to start working with some acrylic...
Thanks, Johnny! You should go for it! I know you would come up with something super unique.
+crafted workshop acrylic is the next big thing....I'm itching to try some more substantial projects with it.
Crafted Workshop was that a wooden millennium falcon?
That shot of the bit going through the plexiglass made my day.
Haha, thanks Jason!
I’d recommend some clear griptape, it’s as the name says, very clear and it works well
I have a acrylic board, it’s pretty grippy with vans
Love the shots from underneath when you are skating. It is a really beautifully simple execution. Definitely the coolest skateboard I've seen.
Thanks, Brian! It certainly was a fun build!
Could add shock pads before installing trucks to minimize stress on the holes, nice build!
The shot from underneath while you were riding it is so cool!
Hedy Irene Thanks! Shout to the Modustrial Maker for the idea.
This one came out awesome, short and sweet! It might actually beat out the acrylic table in views, just because the video is so well done. The shots with the 85mm really look great.
Thanks, Mike! By far the quickest and most fun build yet. Shoutout for the idea to throw the GoPro under the deck! Those shots came out awesome!
Looks like you're gliding on air...smooth!
Thanks, Joe!
Super cool...takes me back to my younger years!
Thanks, brother! It did for me too!
That is straight up DOPE!!!!
Haha, thanks Alec!
Man this thing is awesome. You’re killing it with these acrylic projects!
Thanks, Will!
This is so amazing I want it
it looks great mate!
100th comment!!!
Keep us these videos!!! I'm loving them!
OKC! hell yeah.
COOL!!
That is awesome! That's a really cool project Jonny!
Thanks, Tracy. It was a super fun project!
This is so awsome!! 😁😁
Thanks so much!
Cool shoot from underneath the board.. Video was nicely done. ☺
Thanks, John! Most fun vid yet!
Awesome! You should get some transparent grip so it doesn't lose the cool effect.
That’s so nice!! Well done and thanks for sharing. I love it! Acrylic doesn’t get enough recognition. You could even heat it and make a kick.
What is the thickness you chose, please?
Super sweet project! I love the acrylic! But I also like the colours in a normal skateboard, to work with haha. Great build and video!
Thanks, Jolien! Wait until you see Modustrial Maker's next vid. Talk about sweet use of sb wood!
Yes, I follow him on IG and it's very promising!
Very cool. Perhaps when it does get dings and scratches, you can fill it with gold or glow in the dark epoxy. Just a thought.
It would probably look cool with some of that clear griptape on it
Wow . That's great! ;-)
Thanks!
It would be cool to have a plexiglass type flexible material on the bottom and hard acrylic on top so you could do grinds on stuff.
Lol the end when he said but isn't that the point made my day , i cracked my bored 2day and felt so stupid and bummed out but tbh it was going 2 happen someday so like he said that's the point
good enogh to makes me want one
you could also add some discrete LEDs to the bottom and made the edges have a fresnel finish with a rougher sanding to create a glowing edge
Called your supplier today. Heading up there this week hopefully to pick up some stuff.
Awesome, Phillip! Can’t wait to see your project!
Any melting issues cutting the acrylic with the bandsaw? Cool build! And you picked the perfect spot for finish shots...looks awesome how you can see through the board!
No melting issues, although my bandsaw looks like Santa puked all over it. Because, you know, Santa vomits snow I guess... Thanks!!
Or that other word: barf. (Persian for snow)
nice man! what measures?
I have all of this stuff in my garage 😳 so u telling me I can just make one
Yeah Buddy! Nice! Nice shot through the board!
Small Shop Works Thanks, man! This was such a fun build!
Holy shitballs, that is so cool. How thick is that sheet? And can you cut it with a jigsaw?
Looks so cool id hang on my wall
That’s probably what I’ll do as well
Awesome..should have put some clear wheels on it..
What's the music? It's got a great groove.
Omg
Do you know how you would be able to bend it in order to make a kicktail?
You can bend acrylic with heat, but I’m not sure how that works with material this thick. (3/4”)
I was looking for a video like this. Gonna ask my grandfather to make it for me.
I just wanna ask how could I make a draw on its surface, like a design of the ghost longboards. Is there another machine?
Tks
So its totally okay and not dangerous to do tricks with acrilic skats ? Thanks
Hey johnny, great idea for using up the cutoff from that awesome end table build you did. ( and yes, it was truly inspiring.) I forgot. What was the thickness of that again? How much $ does an 8'x4' piece go for? Just asking cause I'd like to try and create the same table. Remember, copying is a form of flattery...lol thanks for the video. And keep on shredding man!
Thanks, Christine. I used 3/4" thick acrylic, and the 4 foot by 4 foot sheet I bought was $180. I think 1/2 inch would work okay too. Please send me a pic when you build it!
Absolutely!
I just want to know that what is the board kind? Glass?
How thick is the plexiglass
I design boards, but I don't make them. Do you know where I can buy one without the wheels and trucks? Do you sell the ones make?
Whats the borders cut machine´s name?
Hey man I wanted to know how much you paid for the acrylic if you remember cause I was looking at prices on amazon for a long sheet and it was like $200
3/4” acrylic is not cheap. I paid $160 for a 4x4 sheet, and built the acrylic side table. The skateboard was built from an off cut of that piece.
Ok Thankyou I found a 12”x24” board for $75 that I think I’ll try to make a cruiser or penny board out of
Stronger if you use Poly Carbonate
Given a choice, would have used a polycarbonate that is more flexible and durable; not as brittle as acrylic. However with the thickness used, this should be fine. Nice job!
Just came across this video and you need to do a collab with Avery Cyrus, both of you am sure can create a super cool skateboard ✔️
Alguien que me pueda explicar que es eso si es vidrio o que es y el nombre o donde se puede conseguir
I would paint it with acrylics or anything so it will look like a painting cot yes
Great video, cool longboard. But cleaning acrylic sheet with denatured alcohol is generally not a great idea. It will cause miniature cracks or crazing, which will haze the acrylic and can lead to premature wear as well as ease in propagating larger cracks.
That's true only if you flame polish the edges. I did not flame polish for this reason alone. Thanks for checking it out!
Is this acrylic or polyurethane?
Is it possible to just buy the board and no wheels
It’s the bill nye of home diy
I Sant one
Can I pay you to make me one ?!? I need sum different like that. Something I can paint ! 🤩🤩
This company makes clear longbards: Ghostboards.com
Passa as medidas pra mim por favor
Do you sell this?
Nope, sorry
How?
This time I'll use woodprix instructions to make it by myself.
Garzon Laperle An acrylic skateboard on woodprix?
wooden Jonny B :)
when did will ferrel start a youtube channel
I’ve got clear skates coming soon, I didn’t make a board though holy shit
So skitz! (Skitz means really good in negro talk)
Who is here in 2021?
Can i have it?
My problem with acrylic boards is I can't buy one yet lol
