  If you have not read Step 1, go back to that and read it. To complete this step first you must have the trucks, look at the page that says how/where to buy the trucks.
For this step, you must line the trucks up with the center line on the deck. Draw lines to mach the holes of the trucks on the deck.

Step 1. Making the wood

wood/wo͝od/

Noun:

The hard fibrous material that forms the main substance of the trunk or branches of a tree or shrub. Such material when cut and used as timber or fuel.

  The wood that was used in mine was baltic birch, not birch! Birch has less layers per inch, making it much less sturdy, and way more flexible/brittle. 1/2 inch birch will only hold a maximum of 125 Lbs. 1 inch birch is very heavy wood to make a longboard out of. I assume you are NOT wanting to lug around a 10 pound board everywhere you go. This is why 1/2 to 3/4 inch BALTIC BIRCH is the best, it probably won't be found at your run-of-the-mill Menards or Home Depot, so you may have to go to a lumberyard. It typically comes in 5 foot by 5 foot sheets, so it could be shared with a buddy, or make a few boards! This high quality wood will be priced from $30 to $50.
