The Challenge
The challenge of transforming Apple’s $700 wheels into a skateboard was daunting. Not only did the skateboard have to meet the high standards of Apple’s engineering, but it also had to fit into the Apple ecosystem and impress the likes of Tim Cook and Johnny Ive. To make this skateboard a reality, I was limited to only using parts and pieces that were already in the studio.
The Chassis
My search for parts and pieces led me to a replica chassis that was made to look like a Mac Pro. This chassis would serve as the base for the skateboard, and I was confident that it could handle the weight of the wheels.
The Wheels
The wheels were the most important part of the skateboard. I pulled out one of the wheels from the box and inspected it closely. The wheel was incredibly smooth and rolled in a way that only an Apple wheel could. I knew that this wheel would be the perfect addition to the skateboard.
The Deck
The next step was to find a suitable deck for the skateboard. I searched through my toolbox and found a piece of wood that was the perfect size and shape for the skateboard. I sanded it down and stained it to give it a classic look.
The Final Product
After several hours of work, I had completed my skateboard. I had taken Apple’s $700 wheels and transformed them into a beautiful skateboard that was worthy of the Apple name. The skateboard was smooth and rolled with ease, and I was proud of the work I had done.
Is the axle, now the axle is the part that connects the wheel to the board.
Building the Skateboard
The task of constructing a skateboard from Apple’s $700 wheels was daunting, but I was determined to make it happen. After examining the wheels, I noticed that the front panel was removable and the pre-drilled holes could be used to secure a screw. I removed the front panel and set to work gathering the necessary hardware. I found screws and washers that were suitable for connecting the wheels to the deck. The next step was to remove the studs on the front panel, as they were not necessary for the skateboard.
Testing the Wheels
To ensure that the wheels would be able to support my weight, I tested them by placing them in the box one by one. I was more concerned about the axle, as it would be responsible for connecting the wheel to the board. Fortunately, the axle was strong enough to support my weight and the wheels were securely attached to the deck.
Finishing Touches
The final step was to add the finishing touches to the skateboard. I used the washers as spacers to ensure that the wheels were securely attached to the deck. I also added a few extra screws to ensure that the wheels were firmly attached. , I added some grip tape to the top of the deck to provide a better grip for my feet.
The Result
After several hours of work, I had successfully created a skateboard from Apple’s $700 wheels. The skateboard was surprisingly sturdy and was able to support my weight without any issues. I was pleased with the results and was confident that even Johnny Ive would be impressed.
Apple’s $700 Wheels
Apple’s $700 wheels have been the talk of the town for quite some time now. The wheels are designed to be used on the Mac Pro, but their unique design and threading have made them a popular choice for skateboarders looking to customize their boards. Despite their hefty price tag, many have taken the plunge and purchased the wheels, eager to see what they can create.
Creating a Skateboard
Creating a skateboard with Apple’s $700 wheels requires some careful planning. First, the correct threading must be found in the tool box. This can be a difficult task, but with some patience and a bit of luck, the right threading can be found. Once the threading is secured, the next step is to choose the correct location for the wheels. It is important to distribute the weight as evenly as possible, as the wheels have a slight curvature on the inside.
Assembling the Wheels
Assembling the wheels is a relatively straightforward process. On each side of the skateboard, one black washer, one small washer, and one big washer are needed. The screws should be long enough to secure the washers, but not so long that they protrude from the board. Additionally, the washers should be placed on the flush side of the board, so that the wheels can be pushed out towards the edge.
The Perfect Fit
The perfect fit of Apple’s $700 wheels is almost unbelievable. The threading and washers seem tailor-made for the skateboard, and the wheels fit perfectly into place. It is almost as if Apple had intended for the wheels to be used for this purpose all along. The hardware store may have provided a shorter screw, but the washers are necessary to prevent the nubs on the bottom of the wheels from grinding up against the front panel.
The Final Result
The final result of using Apple’s $700 wheels to create a skateboard is truly remarkable. The wheels provide a smooth ride and the perfect fit ensures that the skateboard is both stylish and functional. The hefty price tag may be intimidating, but the end result is worth every penny.
The Challenge
The challenge of creating a skateboard out of Apple’s $700 wheels was daunting. With the wheels being so large, there was a fear that they would not be able to spin freely and would hit each other. To ensure that the wheels would not interfere with each other, a black washer was used to secure them in place.
The Creation
The skateboard began to take shape as the wheels were tightened. It was a unique sight, a skateboard made from Apple’s wheels. It looked like a piece of art, albeit a very expensive one. After the wheels were secured, the screwdriver was used to finish the job. The skateboard was now complete and ready to be tested.
The Test
The first test was to see if the skateboard could hold the weight of a person. To the surprise of the creator, the skateboard was able to hold the weight with no problem. The next test was to see if the skateboard could actually be ridden. The 360-degree wheels were put to the test and they performed surprisingly well.
The Result
The skateboard made from Apple’s $700 wheels was a success. It was able to hold the weight of a person and was able to be ridden. The creator had achieved something that even Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, had not been able to do. The skateboard was a testament to the creativity and resourcefulness of its creator.
