Dinosaurs + Robots

Look a picture of old skateboard wheels! Internet denizens Mark Freuenfelder and Mr. Jalopy Have teamed up to create a pdf ‘zine called D+R Dispatch. I saw it on BoingBoing where you can get the details and download the two part ‘zine.

The skateboard connection is in part two where they document building a longboard out of an old waterski. The project includes tool recommendations and how-to advice. Cool stuff your dad should have taught you, except he was too busy climbing the corporate ladder, trimming his sideburns and polishing his Beatle boots. Okay, that was my dad.

Nice photography throughout and some cool quirky stuff like a great old Craftsman tool chest they found at a garage sale and lovingly document.
