Hi everybody! New Pcut owner and want make recreations of old skateboards!

Hi, my name is J and I just bought a PCut. Im very excited to get into the world of making fun stick on things, and I could use some guidance. Here's why.

I love skateboards. I started when I was 12 or 13 and Im 38 now. The boards I rode when I was a kid are either all gone, or arent on eBay, whatever reason. So, I got resourceful, and bought some vinyl, and cut a few out by hand, but it takes forever and its far from perfect!

My PCut came with Signblazer.  What is the best way to import a photo of a logo, then trace out that design, remove the photo and then resize and print the image in the right size and color? 

I can probably figure this out, but I'm hoping for any guidance. 

These are the 2 I made by hand.

Thanks again everybody! J

ps. These are for my personal consumption and not to be making fakes to sell. I just want the ones I had as akid on my wall!

Haha! That's awesome! I had the Ziggy board when I was a kid! I am 37 now, if I tried to get on one of those I would end up in the hospital...

Well, youre among the elite if you had a Ziggy, and yes, the Sims Hosoi is one I wanna make since theyre priceless now...

I actually tracked down Mike "Ziggy" Siegfried and he was super cool- he sent me hi res pics of his board so I could photoshop trace it.

Nice to meet you both. Any suggestions?

Thanks JHW

Here's a picture of my husband's first skateboard, I think he still has it!

my first skateboard was 2 old roller skates (the kind you strapped to your shoes) nailed to a board. If you had 2 more boards, you could make it into a scooter.

5th from the right! Man, I have skateboards in common with lots of you!

Welcome from Melbourne Australia.  The young guys here are still very active in skateboarding with some of the local councils building Quarterpipes, Halfpipes & Ramps in the parks.
