And the cruiser series is finished. These are the 3rd, 4th, and 5th boards I have cut and painted into new cruisers. I’m pretty happy with them.

Some skating from Delaware! Yesterday at 7th Street.

Latest cruiser deck I made from an old board.

Deck Specks.  Sun glasses made from used skateboards.

I made my first Instructable today!  It’s a guitar pick from a museum badge. 

This is my recycled cruiser.  A new shape, new paint, and new wheels has it looking pretty good. 

Newspaper earbud amplifiers.

Sometimes I want to listen to music without dealing with my laptop. 

Newspaper is free and these were easy to make.

A “door desk” — the latest reuse project of friend of Unconsumption Will Holman.

Want to make one? Check out the tutorial/how-to details at Startwoodworking.com.

Will’s work in repurposing a variety of objects is impressive. For earlier Unconsumption posts on Will’s furniture and fencing made from old traffic signs, bowls (formerly license plates and real estate signs), a table made from cardboard tubes, and lighting, look here. 

[Thanks, Will!]

I’ve actually been meaning to do this with some spare Ikea legs that I found.

Groton Skatepark found in Groton, Connecticut.  Described as rough, but looks so smooth.

I’m working on a skate spot.  This is the first draft.  I’m going for something between street and transition with some rhythm.
