That’s pretty much all the one I used consisted of. We used some large C-clamps to force the wood together. Harbor Freight has great deals on clamps, but in a pinch, you could jack up the front-end of a pickup truck and set one of the front wheels on a home-made wood-press and achieve the same results. Also cutting your own would give you better control over rocker, kick-tail etc.

Of course another method is to hit garage sales and thrift shops, and cut down an old wooden water-ski, but where’s the fun in that?

Back in high-school, I made several skateboards using an old waterski-press. I used mahoghany veneer, and gripped them in astro-deck. Cal-Skate had original OJs at the time for $8 a set, and I set the boards up with old Indys. Super fun rain boards.
