New Project (reason for absence)

I have started a new project recently (couple of days ago!)
I have this skateboard that was my cousins old board (its really old) she is AsheryW sister by the way.
Well its really old and  kinda deadish its also really dodgy for riding so i thought i would fix it up, and i thought i would upload photos of the progress of what I am doing, me being the stupid idiot i am though i forgot to take a photo of it before i started ripping the grip tape and the trucks off but i took photos of it apart.
so the proces will be updated here but as i forgot to take photos earlier i will just explain what it looked like:

Stage 1: Sanded the bottom about two years ago but i had no idea what i was doing and didnt know how to get the trucks of so i just sanded around them unknowingly weakening the board and screwing it all up

Stage 2: gingafoxx.deviantart.com/art/S… <--Two years later decided to pick this project back up and in the meantime i have actually bought a longboard and know how to skateboard somewhat, also know my way around a skateboard now and know what to do, so i removed the trucks and the rusted in bolts and sanded it back PROPERLY (with the grain instead of all over the place like a spazz like i did two years ago)

Stage 3: gingafoxx.deviantart.com/art/S… <---- Pulled the grip tape of and used acetone (Nail varnish remover my mums that i used almost all of XD) to get the glue off, then sanded it back.

Stage 4: gingafoxx.deviantart.com/art/S… <---- Came up with a design for the board

Stage 4.5: gingafoxx.deviantart.com/art/S… <----- digital design

Stage 5: gingafoxx.deviantart.com/art/S…  <---- sketch first design onto

Stage 6: gingafoxx.deviantart.com/art/S…  <----- re-do design and edit it

Stage 7: gingafoxx.deviantart.com/art/S… <---- Paint design on
