Skateboarders are always thinking of creative things to do with their rides: etching their own designs into the grip tape, adding stickers or artwork, even buying cool-looking skateboarding board decks to hang as wall decorations. For those blessed with snow in the winter months, another creative idea is to make your skateboarding board into a snowboard.
Remove the trucks and risers from your skateboarding board. Most of the hardware used on skateboards requires you to hold the bolt in place with a screwdriver, and loosen the nut with a wrench, or vice versa. Put your trucks and risers away after removing them.
Take one snowboard binding and line it up over the holes on the top of the skateboard deck, making sure it's even and not lopsided. Hold the binding in place with one hand as you carefully turn your deck over and use the pen or marker to mark on the binding where the holes are. Repeat with the other bindings.
Use the power drill with the 1/8-inch bit to drill holes where you marked them on the snowboard bindings.
Line your snowboard bindings up with the holes on the top of your skateboard deck and push the 1/8-inch bolts through the holes.
Attach the 3/8-inch nuts to all the bolts. Hold your board sideways, keep the bolt still with the Phillips screwdriver, and tighten the nut with the 3/8-inch wrench. (You can also tighten the bolt while holding the nut in place.) Tighten all of the nuts evenly, one at a time.
Use the bolt cutter to strip off any excess length of bolt still sticking through the bottom of the skateboard-turned-snowboard.
