Build a cedar Stand Up Paddleboard from scratch

[@salenacaldwell5950]

Thank you so much for sharing! Im on a journey to build my own vintage wood paddleboard. Thoroughly enjoyed your vid and learned some things🎉

[@buildsomethingawesome]

Good to hear! I hope to see your progress.

[@dalepellerin]

Bravo! Loved this video. I so want to make one of these but guess I better start out with buying all of the woodworking equipment in this video. LOL. A labor of love I’m sure and how exciting to take your creation out on the water. Very inspiring. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.

[@buildsomethingawesome]

Glad you liked the video Dale! I hope you give it a try. The tools help but the board can definitely be built with less (or more😆) tools than i used. It's a fun toy to take out on the lake and it's even better enjoying something you've made. Thanks for the comments. 👍

[@dieToteninsel]

Looks beautiful. In the very end you spinning instead of moving though

[@buildsomethingawesome]

@@dieToteninsel yeah, i forgot to grab the fins the first time. Once i put the fins on, it tracked straight.

[@JamesWindland]

Turned out awsome! It is a special sense of pride knowing you made something. I'll bet that thing gets a lot of attention wherever you take it!

[@buildsomethingawesome]

Thank you! Yes, it draws a bit of attention at the lake. I'm proud of it. 😃

[@youcantouchgrasstoo]

Nice job

[@buildsomethingawesome]

👍thanks

[@JenkinsBoatWorks]

great video! I have the bones for one from Jarvis Boards and haven't started yet. glad yours worked out just using a plan in your head.

[@buildsomethingawesome]

Hey thanks! Yeah it worked out good, the only thing i would change is to make the tail end a little wider. Good luck with your jarvis board. Are you posting a video of it when you get it completed?

[@bigjoe8922]

The guys got a wood shop in his living room 😊

[@buildsomethingawesome]

Haha yup 😆 couches are the way to go but these cloth ones get a little dusty.

[@Aaron.deRuiter]

Nice work mate, looks bloody heavy though!

[@buildsomethingawesome]

Thanks. It's around 38 lbs.

[@thepetes8]

This is awesome! Great Job! Any chance you could link to the parts that you used?

[@buildsomethingawesome]

Sure! I put the links in the description. It's all stuff i found on aliexpress.

[@peteranelson]

3:20...very clever!

[@buildsomethingawesome]

Thanks, it sped things up a bit.😃

Браво Маэстро:)!!!!

🙂 cheers 🍻

[@delcourlaurent2304]

nice job

[@buildsomethingawesome]

Thank you very much 😊

[@davidllauberes9385]

Hello, is it possible for you to send me the dimensions of the different parts to build this super paddle. Thanks in advance. David

[@buildsomethingawesome]

It's 10ft long with ribs every 8inches. 2" on each end with a 6" belly. 32" wide at the middle. I don't have specific measurements for each part.

[@aguskastari8225]

where you can find a plans ?

[@buildsomethingawesome]

Unfortunately i didn't make plans of this as i went. Sorry. I am planning on making another one and I'll include plans next time.

[@MoBo1120]

Great job on the board. I appreciate you showing all the steps. How did you keep the epoxy from dripping on the sides when you glassed it?

[@buildsomethingawesome]

Thanks for liking my video! 🙂 I kept on wiping the drips on the resin until it stiffened up enough. Any runs were sanded down after. So far, getting a glossy smooth finish isn't my strong point.

[@РусланАхметов-л5э9ш]

What is weight if your SUP?

[@buildsomethingawesome]

@@РусланАхметов-л5э9ш it is 40 pounds, 18 kilograms. It's stable in the water.

[@hudsonfabiodeoliveira924]

Good!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@buildsomethingawesome]

Thank you!

[@britonmooney7198]

Is that marine grade plywood?

[@buildsomethingawesome]

It's just regular ⅜" plywood.

[@bitsurfer0101]

How did you make your patterns for each batten?

[@buildsomethingawesome]

I roughly drew out the size of paddleboard on a piece of wood and took measurements from that. Once i had the width of the ribs I used a curved template to mark the top corners so that they were all the same curvature.

[@bitsurfer0101]

@@buildsomethingawesomeDo you have any footage on how you did that?

[@billydengel6647]

Can I use regular plywood for the bones? I’ve got plans from Jarvis but I can’t find marine grade ply anywhere.

[@buildsomethingawesome]

Yeah for sure! I used regular ply and it works fine. If you're worried about it you could get treated plywood.

[@Barbiegutts]

How much did it cost to make

[@buildsomethingawesome]

Parts list is in the description. I think it was close to $300

[@FlavioRicardoDesign]

Congrats, bro! Wonderful work! I want to try build one of this. Did you get a plan or create yourself?

[@buildsomethingawesome]

Thanks, yeah i just built it without a plan. I watched some other youtubers building surfboards and such but that's about it. I hope you build one , it's a fun project.

[@FlavioRicardoDesign]

@@buildsomethingawesome Great! I will make you know when I build that!

[@buildsomethingawesome]

@@FlavioRicardoDesign sweet! I'd love to see what you build. 😃

[@buildsomethingawesome]

@@FlavioRicardoDesign a couple tips and things i would change on the next one are this: make the back end a little wider, it has a small sweet spot for balance from the front to back. The second would be to put two air vents in, just in case water gets inside so you can pressurize the inside with one vent on an air hose and blow the water out through the second vent.

[@koxka79]

15:45 What type of varnish do you give with the gun for the finish?

[@buildsomethingawesome]

It was a spar urethane to keep it from yellowing.

[@yospankyyo]

Very nice board and video! How does it track? (With the fins on). Just wondering if after using it you are thinking about a keel. I am thinking about building one since the junk plastic one I have tracks poorly even with fins. Again very nice!

[@buildsomethingawesome]

It tracks very nicely actually. Three fins are plenty, I've thought of removing one to make it easier to turn. With a little bit of paddle angle i can paddle straight without switching from side to side. I hope you give it a try! It's a great learning experience to build one. I'm planning to build another one sometime but a little shorter. Probably 8 or 9 ft instead of 10 ft.

Linda magnífica ♥️🔥😘 mulher

[@buildsomethingawesome]

😊 thanks

[@nicolaschoternasty4845]

Plans?

[@buildsomethingawesome]

Next one i do will have plans.

[@melanietaylor990]

What plans did you use for this? Thinking about making one myself but not sure if i should buy plans etc

[@buildsomethingawesome]

I just guessed. I was too cheap to buy plans....and it paid off.

[@Aaron.deRuiter]

Hey mate, check out the plywood paddle boards at www.vintageboardco.com.au. Our boards are super light! This board is 12.5ft long and weighs only 27lbs! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGOcl5lor7qknrc

[@coreyhayes8259]

Very nice! What kind of plywood was that? 3/8” CDX?

[@buildsomethingawesome]

Thank you! Yes, just regular 3/8 plywood. It makes it simple and inexpensive for building, then there is no need for a special table to prop it up (it holds its own weight up and doesn't flop around like thinner ply).

[@veggimite2]

That’s beautiful!!! Do you happen to know how much it weighs?

[@buildsomethingawesome]

Hey thanks, it weighs around 38 lbs. It's definitely on the heavier side of the paddleboard spectrum. But I've found the only inconvenience is when I'm carrying to the lake. Once it's in the water, the weight makes it really stable and i prefer it over a lighter one.

[@veggimite2]

@@buildsomethingawesome thanks so much for the reply! I’m looking for my first board and my husband found your video, he was thinking about getting the plans. You did a gorgeous job!

[@buildsomethingawesome]

@@veggimite2 Awesome! I wish you guys the best of luck building one! The one thing i would have changed about mine would be to make the tail end a little wider.

[@veggimite2]

@@buildsomethingawesome thanks so much again! If we go that route I’ll definitely keep it in mind about the tail. Have a great day!

[@JohnDavid-kc9kt]

The most unconventional part of the build was how often you had your pants inside your boots... when I do that woodworking I end up with a pound of sawdust in my socks 😄 Looks like a fun project

[@buildsomethingawesome]

Haha yup! It bothered me too. 😄

[@nivaldocarvalhoservafilho1316]

Good night, I want to make a Stand up board like this. Do you sell the project? my name is Nivaldo Serva and I live in Brazil. Thanks

[@buildsomethingawesome]

Hey, Nivaldo from Brazil! I'm glad you are interested in making a paddleboard. Unfortunately I don't have a plan to follow, I built this with just a couple rough measurements in mind. This is about 10 ft long with the ribs spaced apart every 8 inches, the widest ribs are about 30 inches wide and 6" deep. Hope this helps.

[@paulblase3955]

Pattern?

[@buildsomethingawesome]

Hey Paul, i didn't use a pattern to build this. There is a quick part at the beginning that shows marking out the general shape.

[@paulblase3955]

@@buildsomethingawesome Maybe you could sell the pattern? For those of us not so artistically inclined.

[@buildsomethingawesome]

Next time I'll show a little more of what i did and hopefully it will be enough to copy. It's 10ft long with ribs every 8inches. 2" on each end with a 6" belly. 32" wide at the middle.

[@kristoffer-robinlotze7273]

Demonic sounds roughly at 8.50. 😂😂

[@JDGage]

Loved everything you did but I gotta say… Gorilla glue?

[@buildsomethingawesome]

Yup, gorilla glue to fill any larger gaps in the wood.

[@makenchips]

You need some dust control, your young today but in 20 years is when the problem come knocking and they do!

[@buildsomethingawesome]

Thanks for the concern, I'm always striving to do better.

[@joedirt22222]

Im pretty sure you used the gorilla glue the wrong way. Regular wood glue would have worked when glueing up the frame. Gorilla glue needs water to activate.

[@buildsomethingawesome]

Thanks for the tip, i didn't know that about gorilla glue. I used gorilla glue because it foams up and fills gaps a little better.

[@joedirt22222]

@@buildsomethingawesome spray the wood down with water first. It will expand more.

[@johnfurr8779]

@@buildsomethingawesome gorilla glue will obtain all the water it needs to activate from the atmosphere. It just may take longer than had you dampened the wood prior to gluing. What plans did you use?

[@buildsomethingawesome]

@@johnfurr8779 that makes sense. The gorilla glue seemed to work fine. As far as plans go, i just winged it on this one and hoped for the best. Aimed for a 10 ft board and whatever felt right.

[@sergedery7136]

Beautiful object and hard work but sorry, it seems very unstable on water!!!

[@buildsomethingawesome]

Thanks? 😄

[@kevywilliams3304]

A nail gun and no glue wtf!!!

[@buildsomethingawesome]

11:43. It's glued, i just didn't video every strip getting glued.😆 Sometimes people will use staples to hold them in place till the glue dries and then pull the staples. I might try that next time.

[@kevywilliams3304]

Well that’s an annoying video

[@buildsomethingawesome]

What do you specifically find annoying?
