The Secret Behind World Class Volumes

[@severin2004]

Ive been actually wondering how volumes are made that was a awsomeee insight into the process thanks for taking us along and thanks to banana for their prestige volumes

[@bananavolumes4653]

Thanks ❤

[@kavali6320]

I appreciate any kind of woodwork, the thoughts behind every piece, the haptic experience. This workshop is like a candy store for every setter and climber ;)

[@Theboardbro]

Wow, these videos just keep getting better and better!!

[@Nyitemare]

I love thet you're just painting them whatever colours. They look so fresh, so cool!

[@M4tht3r]

Super funny. Just saw Johannes (not the founder, the other one ;) ) two days ago in the gym and was talking with him about the new volumes and now he's popping up this video! very nice! If you are ever around in the area of Saarbrücken again try to visit RockTown in Kaiserslautern. World Class Setting!

[@bananavolumes4653]

See you soon!

[@hidden_sense9839]

Awesome, thank you guys a lot for the Insight! I hope bananavolumes will continue to grow and innovate :)! Regarding ideas: I'd love to see basalt style volumes (haven't seen them so far), so these long and thin columns. Ideal for some interesting crack boulders ;). Apart from that I'd wish for more small but modular volumes mainly for home walls. So basically small volumes that you can put together to a single large volume or put separately to have diversity. Home walls gain a lot from volumes, but you usually either buy some small ones that don't do all that much... or one big one and then there is no space. Something that gives you options for your creativity at home would be awesome. Also, awesome that you have volume kits for very reasonable prices! (Please more :)!)

[@aaronstark9692]

I guess the price is reasonable just not affordable

[@hidden_sense9839]

@@aaronstark9692 the kits are small volumes that you can build yourself. They are 15 - 30€... I'd say that is very affordable...

[@AllegraClimbingPsychologist]

Lovely video! I love looking into the process that makes what we love into reality. Good stuff!

[@matenw.9530]

We have been building our own volumes for our gym for a couple of years. And we mainly have a problem with durability of the coating. We use an aquarium sand and a one component resin that is normally used for boats. But we don't have an airbrush for applying the sand. And the coating wears of quute quickly. I think I might send them guys an email. Thanks for the coop and the cool video. :)

[@ziah_7246]

These are both beautiful but also look so nice to hold/use. I should suggest them to my local gym 👀

[@bananavolumes4653]

You should 😉

[@andreseichmann5984]

Really nice video and volumes, I would love to climb on some of those shiny pieces!

[@marekfrisman7908]

Would it be possible to make round volumes? Those could be interesting to climb on.

[@bananavolumes4653]

Hi Marek, that can be done, we will think about it 🙌 However, it is difficult to put holds on round volumes.

[@marekfrisman7908]

@@bananavolumes4653 Yeah later on I realized that in order to put holds on round volumes they would have to be somewhat round themselves and all of that together seems a bit impractical.

[@deslomator]

Can't wait to climb on glitter volumes!

[@bananavolumes4653]

Maybe one day, who knows 😉

[@fabienpino5711]

So cool how do you cut the plywood? Should be really complex with a saw!

[@Ryuchimichin]

5:00 what kind of sandblaster do you use? do you use quartz?

[@alvaromendivil6263]

Hey guys, great video. Thanks for info!!. I have a question, what grain size of aluminium oxide do you use?

[@PiotrWojnowski]

It's always great to see this kind of people :) How did you find them? :)

[@justindoss3701]

Does banana ship to the USA?

[@jonascoenen8670]

does anybody know which 3d program he is using?

[@doemaeries]

Looks like Rhino 3D

[@Kuba.Sablik]

any chance for the name of the sand and paint?

[@derrollmops]

Don't think so lol

[@IngoHerges]

Maybe Look out for sandblasting sand.

[@khakicam5400]

Just use sandpit sand and shake it through some fine mesh.

[@frictitiousclimbing4991]

Silica sand

[@bananavolumes4653]

Hi Kuba, we use aluminum oxide and a paint that is based on an epoxy resin 🍌

[@zamazqui]

4:49 is that glue?

[@MrJackPuddle]

What can be done to differentiate holds/routes, beyond colour… for the colour blind % of people?

[@moonti6820]

Patterns ! Polka dot volumes would be superb.

[@giesskannenbauer]

Would've been lovely to hear about how that sand is sourced and what thoughts are put into sustainability aspects during production! Would be cool to know how sustainable e.g. this kind of perfect sand is or the paint and glue they use, where does the wood come from. Maybe a bit boring for some people for a video, but I'd like to know :P

[@khakicam5400]

Compared to the monster plastic holds, these would come out sooo far ahead.

[@giesskannenbauer]

@@khakicam5400 jep, probably right :) but would be cool to know the ins and outs of it!

[@juliusremmlinger6868]

We just launched a new sustainability projects where we want to inform about those aspects on our website / instagram! So, stay tuned and if you want to know more about this topic we are happy to discuss with you :)

[@giesskannenbauer]

@@juliusremmlinger6868 oh nice, sounds good!

[@noahgreger1359]

What the size you use

[@meapz]

😵 I hope they use respirators with air filters when they aren’t just doing a little work for a tour!! Sanding and spraying paint and sand will surely wreck your lungs without protection!

If you wanna win banana volume get tf out of here

[@PiotrWojnowski]

Someone is trying to pretend Eric 😔 and sending message about package.

[@Johnny-zs6vo]

Wow, interesting

Waiting for the Banana Board

[@upurbanclimbing8247]

Can’t wait for Re.Grab! We desperately need it! 🤩 #ekbxbananavolumes #upurbanclimbing @upurbanclimbing

[@berlin_bouldering]

First?

[@EricKarlsson]

yes :)

[@berlin_bouldering]

@@EricKarlsson Crazy that it's actually sand blown onto the volumes giving friction... Never would have guessed.

[@tjromero3195]

Second?
