Default Building a board

Building a board is not complicated. Does not mean that it is eazy. You need patience, a few good tools, a Radio Shack store, a metal shop, for the playing field, or a composite material if you prefer.

To me, painting is the trickiest part. I did my first board with spray paint. I won't do it again. I will buy myself a small but good quality spraying gun.

Tweaking is fun and I don't master it yet. It is the same thing for building a board. Now, I'm playing with the board to see the quality and what needs to be improve on it.

Hours of fun ahead of me.

It is a rheostat, it sets the speed of the board. It cost something like 5 $
