They have the skills to make a finely crafted piece but most importantly, they have a lot of old skateboards to choose from. Wegdeck is located in Den Haag, Nederland where Sweatshop Skatepark is also located. At the skatepark, skate schools are open for kids and adults regularly and they need quite many skateboards for students to skate. All those skateboards are used for good but at the same time, they get damaged here and there to be replaced with a new deck on and off.
They use all those old skateboards for new products of clocks, coffee tables, bottle openers, axes, chess boars you name it. They also take your item turned into Wegdeck style fine product.
