How to Make a Tech Deck Funbox

Rather than tricking off of several different ramps and obstacles in your Tech Deck skate park, create a funbox to house multiple tricking opportunities in one location. A Tech Deck funbox combines ramps and rails in one obstacle to open up the number of possible tricks. You can build your own Tech Deck fun box using craft sticks to customize the different obstacles of the box.

Things You'll Need

  • Craft sticks
  • Hand saw
  • Wood glue
  • Ruler
  • ¼-inch square dowel rod

Instructions

  1. Center Area

    • 1

      Create two stacks of craft sticks with each stack containing 36 craft sticks. Glue each stick in the stack to the one above it.

    • 2

      Place the stacks about 4 inches apart and parallel to one another.

    • 3

      Line up six craft sticks across the stacks so that the end of each stick reaches the end of each stack. Glue the sticks into place to form the center area of your funbox. Allow the glue to dry completely.

    Ramps

    • 4

      Lay a craft stick so that one end protrudes slightly over the center area and the other end angles down and touches the table.

    • 5

      Apply a small amount of glue to the underside of the craft stick end that protrudes over the center area. Allow the glue to dry and secure the craft stick into place.

    • 6

      Line up another craft stick directly next to the first and apply glue. Line up at least three craft sticks to complete a ramp up to the funbox.

    • 7

      Add ramps to any or all of the other funbox sides.

    Rail

    • 8

      Make two stacks of 12 craft sticks each. Glue each piece together.

    • 9

      Glue one stack to the upper-right corner on the face of the center area of the funbox. Glue the second stack to the lower-right corner of the funbox.

    • 10

      Measure and cut a 4.5-inch piece of the square dowel rod.

    • 11

      Glue the dowel rod onto the stacks so that one side of the dowel rod is on each stack. This will act as the rail for the funbox.
