Diving Boards | How It's Made

The earliest recorded diving competition took place in 1871 at the London Bridge. The flexibility of the diving board allows the diver to execute complex maneuvers before entering the water.

[@brianlam257]

Looks like a simple board. Didn't expect the making process is so complex and much of it is hand-made!!!

[@Nova-yi3cp]

I know😂

[@mayelaine2]

I love this show. I've been watching it for years,

[@kevino1489]

Me too

[@reggie7bush]

[@dayanajvalles6460]

Omg yes

[@Danger-ff6rk]

[@Slassive]

Filthy is the only other person who gets it’s not a joke. Personally I eat 1 a day.

[@princesslayyy101]

[@jedidr4918]

Talmage Caceres wait wut

[@dylandreisbach1986]

So much fiberglass. I can’t imagine them being able to go home splitter free.

[@whitewolf9817]

Interesting, I never knew it was this much to make a diving board!

[@Rogere805]

i had no idea that making a diving board had so many steps.

[@karen_boomer8603]

Trippin I thought it was just a plastic board

[@mackk123]

the high dive has even more steps

[@sarahcarpenter8161]

“Impregnated with resin” lol

[@celestepittsley9586]

Love this show.watch it every Sunday afternoon with my dad and twin sister

[@austenoliviawheeler3993]

I’m thankful for my five hobbies which are games, music, movies & TV, books and toys

[@austenoliviawheeler3993]

They allow me to entertain/distract self at home, they also help me keep active/busy “Every preposition” my pictures/drawings/pics/artwork/masterpieces

[@austenoliviawheeler3993]

Within my creative/imaginative play stuff

[@austenoliviawheeler3993]

And i can think of special people of special things i have in my life using my creativity, imagination, talents, architecture and other fun stuff to enjoy the best

[@austenoliviawheeler3993]

They can think of me as well

[@kimbratton9620]

Time to dive right in!

[@Rationalist101]

Wow I thought it was just like a plastic plank lol

[@savagecomments9195]

Some are, I broke my uncles cheap plastic one doing hella backflips one day

[@octobounet7253]

The whole time I thought I was watching them make a surfboard

[@jessi5944]

That is so cool.

[@WarHero56]

did not expect the sand part!

[@christina7242]

2:02 impregnated with resin????🤔

[@frank3manuel]

You see, when a resin loves another resin very very much..

[@dhaniaz9026]

Your videos are so interesting and informative! I love your series . Thank you so much

[@Justin-uc8sc]

Thanks man appreciate the support!

[@suesue5882]

@Candy Panda Yes, i do too!

[@jacobjones5247]

Anyone else annoyed how wonky the sticker was put on 😂 3.46

[@legoman8960]

[@Aakash_Javed]

Please make a video on fiber glass sheets and strings and laminated wood too

[@MikeCee7]

This appears to be the backyard pool (non professional competition green Duraflex) type diving boards. - Where was this production/factory located? Is there a great demand for new diving boards to be made daily? (like at a typical production/manufacturing factory?) - Since the late 70s, most backyard pools would not have a diving board (due to crazy homeowners insurance costs, & shallowness of most recreational pools only being at most 9 feet deep)

[@fevley]

I miss swimming so much

[@stonks2929]

I love swimming

[@bubblebaath7840]

Same dude!

[@AaronFleshner]

Now we should tapk to duraflex and see how an Olympic diving spring board is created.

[@InfinFox]

Thanks for the recommendation , KZbin

[@judesantillan]

thx for sharing, i shared twice

[@abdiali8016]

I used to wonder what material can bend to different measures but won’t break ....my first guess was steaming/boiling wood so it can bend but never would I wonder it being this process

[@nicnackspops3637]

I love it when he says “to make the daving board” instead of diving board right at begging of this video.

[@james_fisch]

i love it when you say "right at the begging of this video" instead of beginning in your comment.

[@nebulaa7776]

This is my favorite sigment well not a sigment but whatever i love it HOW ITS MADE i give you a salute thanks for the video

[@DreamerSeeker]

*Sees the “decorative paint.”* ........ but why?

[@leahflops9425]

Lmao

[@TheElvenKeys]

For decoration

[@GolDGreg]

This episode goes 0 to 60 in two seconds

[@Ramblingroundys]

So, it's resin, with resin on resin coated with resin and then resin used to glue sand and then more resin.

[@cindysaetern]

2:00 impregnated with resin. Interesting word choice lol

[@abri5466]

I know right

[@cy5279]

That is literally the technical term

[@HomebrandFishfood]

Can’t wait for how it’s actually made

[@T4cticalBruh]

That's dope

[@elianna9722]

So what do you do for a living? I make diving boards…

[@zzaacchh]

Anything to pay the bills

[@andromedarayne]

Someone's gotta. Besides, they aren't cheap depending on what you see as expensive

[@TheElvenKeys]

So?

[@snatchedsixgaming752]

I guess diving boards are part sand that is why last time i went swimming i left as if id walked a mile barefoot on the beach. I LOVE DIVING BOARDS!!!

[@LilyKittyCatto]

i had no idea it was this complex. i thought they were just chunks of plastic 😹

[@woefulwarlock6381]

I always wondered how diving boards don't snap like a KitKat

[@shadowcubing9936]

I should be doing homework, why am I here?

[@greatestever4386]

Shadow Cubing hope you finished your homework

[@miguelmorbius2250]

Was your homework about diving boards?

[@MikeCee7]

Nice video, but this appears to be home, backyard pool diving boards. Can you make a video on the professional Duraflex (green) Diving boards, (with the waffle like holes in middle)

[@dillxdough]

They couldn’t let a film crew into that joke of a plant.

[@MikeCee7]

@@dillxdough is it top secret government security proprietary information?

[@dillxdough]

@@MikeCee7 no it’s a bunch of crusty old dudes in a crusty old filthy building.

[@dudevinci]

In the intro they wield the plate which already has screws. GENIUS

[@juza915]

Now thats a lot of fiber glass

[@elle-mx2cm]

Am I the only one that’s never been on a diving board?

[@2verysnowyyy]

TʜᗩᴛᘜIʀᒪ nope no local pools besides the ones at the high schools have. diving boards where I am

[@gasengineguy]

Yes

[@TMWill-fi5fy]

So you cook surfboards. Interesting.

[@eyesack2546]

WHAT IS THE THICKNESS OF THE BOARD!???

[@jamiezyt7644]

it is an honor to be early

[@fieonshakespearenut]

Why do so many diving boards break on AFV?!

[@james_fisch]

they aren't impregnated with resin apparently, those ones played it safe in the factory and left an air pocket in them

[@Newberntrains]

Bolt on or not installed correct

[@mephistosprincipium]

I would actually pay money to build one of these 🤣

[@katjoe1974]

Spoken like someone who has never worked with fiberglass. Couldn’t pay me to do that again

[@pqrstsma2011]

1:28 what's the difference between 'laminated wood' and plywood?

[@rawbacon]

The grain is running the same direction with those laminated pieces...........Plywood usually alternates 90 degrees between layers and sometimes better grade plywood can have layers with more angles than that.

[@MegaEmmanuel09]

I got about three splinters every time he said fiberglass

[@closinginonclosure]

0:27 What? They have diving fans working at the factory to blow on the diving boards? They must really love diving to work on the boards and stand there blowing all day. Those are definitely fans.

[@anythingrandomlytaped8288]

I have only ever been off of a metal diving board

[@wumboqwark]

Why does it feel like the video starts several minutes into the episode?

[@wumboqwark]

Like there's no introduction at all

[@AR-fd1kt]

Impregnated with resin?

[@CherryFlapLemonade]

Diving board😃

[@TheOaklandBoy]

my friend tony died on a diving board in 1979

@@TheDBZ_KING7_Official yes

[@eilois]

trust me, i really curious about the making of diving board said no one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@vmob7039]

My fellow citizens, what brought you to this video?

[@brandtfj]

but in the old days..it was just a board....

[@eilois]

but honestly i didn't know it was made with Wood instead of full metal or plastic or polymer

[@austinburke5949]

Sticker is crooked...

[@uriituw]

It needs more resin.

[@poppabear3730]

I dont think ive ever been on one im 37

I was married to a very successful diver. I was hoping you would be showing the process for a true competition ("cheese grader") board. Oh well. Maybe next time.

[@JohnnyBooi]

Was? Divorced?

[@whateverdv]

this is so fucking fascinating

[@imchangingaccountnoreason1103]

You will if they stop your welfare checks.

We miss you Obama

[@lukeWiz44]

ulysess oliveras no, we really don’t. LOL

[@Penguin_of_Death]

Whoever writes the scripts for the narrators needs to stop focussing on the people and instead focus on the process The constant references to he/she/they in these programmes is so irritating...and wrong...

[@hhgnggnjngnmnnh5291]

wack

[@robloxpathe9296]

Did you guys seriously ran out of ideas 🤦‍♂️

[@dayanajvalles6460]

How its made is running out of ideas

[@thomassalto9758]

Very hard process for a useless thing!
