144. What things we make | Skateboard

Some time ago Charlie was a skate punk. Or maybe punk is the wrong word, but she definitely skated. Maybe even skated is the wrong word.

Reset: she went about the streets on a board with wheels. Fast forward to the present day and we are buying decks by the bushel on eBay for our hijinks. Knowing of my love for all things paper clip, Charlie did this one up for me on Valentine's.

Paper Clip Skateboard - Day 80

It only took me three months to get it skateboarded (now I know that's the wrong word.)

Paper clip deck

No paper clip skateboard is complete without pencil wheels.

Pencil wheels

For the curious - that paper clip is indeed to scale.
