From what I understand they're actually pretty tough to fully DIY, you need a big press and tooling to get the shape in a way that's actually strong enough to hold up. You can buy pressed blanks though.

When I was a kid, skateboards had a front and a rear. Outside of the kicktail, they were flat. Easy to DIY. Getting high quality thin-ply plywood for your own deck is gonna be a pain though. Making it would be even worse.

I don't think premade ply would cut it, even for an 80's style deck (I remember them having a subtle bowl to the top). I don't think laminating your own would be particularly hard if you had a press & forms ready to go though.

from stuff ive seen, the mold doesnt need to be very precise. people are making serviceable boards out of insultating foam. pressing the first one tonight out of some veneers found on ebay. been trying to get in touch with a place that sells veneers locally but theyve been elusive. trying the basic symmetrical pattern for the proof of concept before getting into old-school deck shapes and experiments. will update when boards are pressed and paint is passed through screens
