25 Useful Products Made From Repurposed Skateboards
When a skateboard breaks, throwing it in the trash is the wrong thing to do. Getting creative and turning trash into treasure should be your top priority. Since skateboard decks are very well manufactured, they’re able to withstand high stress and impact. Using them as building blocks for something crafty is a wise decision. Plus, there is no better feeling than enjoying the fruits of your labor.
Today we collected twenty-five examples of repurposed skateboards. These awesome outcomes should get those creativity juices flowing inside your head. You can even start selling your unique hand crafted products on Etsy like Dave DeWitt. He sells sunglasses made from recycled skateboard decks. How awesome is that?
DIY computer desk with the classic ‘infinite effect’ optical illusion
The classic ‘infinite effect’ optical illusion has always enticed us geeks with its mind bending scope of continuity. However, one geek among us has gone forward (rather than just gawking at the ‘Memento’ poster) and contrived his very own computer desk that perfectly employs this illusion of infinity. Redditor JacksRagingHormones has utilized mirrors, a glass, a Raspberry Pi single-board computer and a focused light source for his personal version of the optical illusion. The end result is a pretty normal looking computer desk, with one difference. And, that is the ‘abyss of uncertainty’ beneath the keyboard section, which is further illuminated (till infinity!) by Tron-esque red border lights.

High school kid builds a fully-functional one-man submarine
Justin Beckerman, an 18-year-old student at Mendham High School in New Jersey has built himself a fully-functional one-man submarine, which he has taken up to six feet underwater. Justin has been building miniature jet-engines, remote controlled cars and vacuums etc from household scrap since childhood, and his fascination for subs has got him to attempt it twice before, but this one is perhaps his best attempt at it. The submarine is made out of grooved plastics (used in piping) and uses some other readily available scarp items, and it largely lightweight and sturdy.
