Fall Break

I've been working on my personal project a lot over this fall break.  I've gotten A LOT  done.  I chose my mentor, bought all the supplies I need, put my wood ply's together, designed the shape of my board, and cut it out.  I drilled the truck holes for my board but they were to far apart to put the trucks in so i have to re-drill.  I also found out that my wheel cut outs weren't big enough so now i have to cut those out bigger.  I've also decided that this is only going to be a prototype board.  I'm think I might actually make two or maybe even three more boards.

Mentor meeting

I am meeting with my mentor today.  He is Mr. Greer and i'm really looking forward to working with him.  We will be discussing the whole process of making the longboard and how to make the press.

The Beginning

My names Emerson Miller and I am a sophomore at SMMHS.  So we have this personal project thing that we have to do throughout our sophomore year.  It's supposed to be something we love to do, so we don't get bored with the project.  I decided to make a longboard because I love to longboard, and I have always wanted to build one.
