Re: Library of Board-Building Tips, Resources & Ideas
A soft launch of a bolt-hole template update.
Was working up some template sheets when a few questions popped up:
- What if you have a finished board and run into problems where truck base-plates, wedges and pads stick to the finish? (as has happened to me countless times...)
- What if you want to just lay the template down during construction and be done with it?
Well, for those who have ordered template sheets and have agreed to check out the answers I came up with to those questions, here goes.
Base Plate Deck Guard Template 200807140930 is a streamlined template that presents all of the information within a standard baseplate foot print. Print this onto a clear adhesive transfer sheet, trim off the extra and lay it down on the center line of a finished deck at the bolt hole spacing of choice. Using a sharp brad point drill, bore through the adhered template. When finished, you have a transparent plastic finish guard under the base plate.
The Bolt Hole Laminate Template 200807140932 is a reverse image of the template above. Print this template onto rice paper (or your semi-clear image laminate medium of choice) and trim any additional material from the edges. Using a wood glue (over bare wood) or resin, apply a thin layer to the deck at the position the template will be placed. Lay down the template image side down and work the adhesive along with any bubbles out from underneath the template. If using rice paper or something similar, wet the top-side of the template and work the adhesive into the image until the rice paper becomes semi-transparent.
Those of you with pending template orders will receive samples of the two templates listed above to try.
If anyone else is game, feel free to print these off, give them a shot and let us know how it worked for you.

Re: Library of Board-Building Tips, Resources & Ideas
Here is a general multipurpose template for truckholes, dropthrough mount, and cutouts to avoid bite. The cutouts are generous and are designed for 180 mm trucks and 75 mm wheels in the dropthrough configuration. Topmounts require less robust cuts.
