After my first failed attempt at designing my own laser cut acrylic longboard, I've decided to try anew with a new resign that focuses on rigidity and durability. 

The redesign features a below-deck aluminum frame that adds support as well as hardwood features for asthetics.  

I'm not sure how far the project will actually progress, but I've already obtained the acrylic and the design has become surprisingly refined after only two weeks of in-class doodling. The next logical steps seems to be generating an Autocad of the peices to be cut and etched.
