Drift wood from the beach makes really good sanding blocks and it’s soft enough that eventually your fingers and palms prints will indent it leaving you with custom grip to hold it in 🤙 🤙 nice little run through

[@paulzeye_surfboards]

That’s so cool! I feel like I’ve seen those on some KZbin videos and just figure that’s from 40 years of shaping. I’m assuming that’s more for contour shaping? Unless you can add a flat surround it using a planer or jointer? Either way - super cool information 😎

@@paulzeye_surfboards I had an old shaper years ago swing by my work and sell me some planers and what not. All of his blocks were drift wood. He'd run them through a thicknesser to get one side nice and flat for sanding and then just left the natural sides natural. His hand prints were so deeply embedded into them, they fit him like a glove! Granted, he's probably shaped thousands of board in his life so I imagine it took quite a while!

@@smallkinedings there’s plenty of that around the beaches I surf at! I’m going to pick some up the next time and have a go with it. Thanks for the cool tip 🍻

If you go to the tool rental of Home Depot they have big sheets of peel and stick sandpaper at really low grits. I cut a 24" piece from a 2x3 and stuck a piece of that sandpaper to it and it works REALLY good.

[@paulzeye_surfboards]

Wow I had no idea that was a thing! Thanks for sharing that. Will have to give that a go at some point. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@garyh4458]

@@paulzeye_surfboards Yep. It is sandpaper that is made to be used with hardwood floor sanders. It's pretty cheap, too. They have big sheets of the sanding screens, too.

Thank you for this helpfull video

You’re welcome! I’m glad to hear it was helpful 🤙🏽

If I only had some skill.

[@paulzeye_surfboards]

Have you had a crack at it already? If so, def don’t judge your skill after one go - especially if you’re learning by yourself! Though I do get that it’s pretty pricey to make mistakes.

At 72 and living in the armpit of America (Memphis), my surfing and board making prospects look dim. But I love the work you do, and I watch 15' barge wakes on the Mississippi River, measured them with my boat. Granite barges.

@@aliaskong1723 Memphis is a bit of a ways from any good surf indeed. Would be cool to see someone surfing a wake wave made by a barge on the Mississippi! Thanks again for watching Alias!
