Handcrafted Ping Pong Paddles - Why Not?!

Everyone in this comment section is either an admirer of his woodworking or a triggered table tennis player and I love it cause I can relate to both.

Made out of at least 85% natural wood? Check Faces thinner than 4mm combined? Check

At least 3 times now, I make something at home that I wanted/needed. Then about 2 months later you post a video of the exact item that I made. Only difference is you make it a whole lot nicer than I do. I made some ping pong paddles sometime during spring break when I got bored at home. I didn't have wood enough to finish the handles so right now they are just flat boards in the shape of a paddle, but they still work fine.

[@LutherBuilds]

Most people would press the easy button, myself included, and use a spindle sander to refine the shape, while you take the road less traveled and use hand tools to give it that handmade feel and look. Outstanding as always!

[@pipelinerusa6605]

You like woodworking, baseball, and table tennis. I do too. Probably in that order too, maybe swap WW and BB when white sox lineup is hitting.

That's the best hand made paddles I ever seen . Great work .

[@stikdik]

FANTASTIC USE OF THE CAPTIONS, really unique way to use them. Love it

[@giovannol.9481]

This racket might not even better than YE, however when it comes to handcraft, it means more than any racket that you could see on the market. Well done Rawls!

[@FixiT-Rick]

Ohhh, you DID make a ping pong paddle video! Ha! When I get a table, I’ll definitely want you to make me some!

[@mc4kvb]

I have to say first WHAT A SANDER!!! That thing is a beast....like the band saw! Great video, your editing is spot on and the whole transgression from beginning to end is superb!! Thanks so much for sharing and keep these videos coming....PLEASE!!!!

Great work Andy! You are truly a craftsman.

[@physicsguybrian]

Nice build and soothing to watch. Your shop is awesome! Now the paddles need a rubber or sandpaper surface so you can generate spin.

Nice shop. What a great place to relax. A few questions. What are the woods used to make the blade and the glue mix you use to laminate them together. On the handle it seems you used a simple wood glue instead. A beautiful product. Thanks for sharing.

[@CnJpCaUs]

good job, it could be better if you pick up the correct combination of the materials. the materials for ping pong paddles are not just those random woods..... and your paddles need rubbers.

[@kauvik_]

Ah yes, we don’t want them getting female paddles pregnant

[@racketman2u]

you have no evidence that those "random woods" aren't in fact the perfect combination! but yeah, some rubber would be good.

[@tristann1885]

racketman2u are you dumb? He is saying that because different woods are different feeling when playing with

be still my heart that band saw.

[@CoupleofBunkies]

Hi, I loved your shop and the video making your own veneer to make the material for the paddles is probably the right way to go. my shop just made 4 hardwood ping pong paddles made of cherry and maple with walnut grips. mine ended up penhold style and were on the heavy side. going to have a video out on it at the end of the month. I loved this video and I subscribed to the channel thanks for sharing.

[@thisismyname2591]

Have you ever tried to work with old skateboards? They usually have really neat colored plys put together. If you go to a skateshop and ask if they have some used decks they will probably give you some for free. The skateshop i worked at had a huge stack of probably 100 old decks in the back room. We gave some to a guy that makes weird art. He made some super sick frames out of the old decks.

Hey! I'm happy you used my suggestion of captions that I gave a few months back! And great video!

[@Alpha_Donk]

Can you do something meta like reclaim a old table and turn it in to wooden utensils, platers, plates, table top decoration. So the old table that may have so many memories an still be admired in a new way... I think about all the memories I’ve had sitting around a dinner table with family and friends who some have passed. To me it would be priceless others may see the table as complete trash. Just a random thought.

[@faseehnagi9008]

What u use for finishing? Can u link me?

[@jackbarbour6911]

This is so awesome, you have inspired me to woodwork, and it has become a passion. Out of curiosity, how do you keep your chisels so sharp. I have a grinder but it doesn’t seem to get the anywhere near as sharp as yours. Maybe I am holding them at an incorrect angle?

[@fisherofmen3336]

I think the trick is to sand them with sandpaper using something like 100 and working your way up to like 7 or 8 thousand. The grinder is gonna be pretty rough and leave those little imperfections that take away from the sharpness.

[@legotechniccreations6630]

What finish did you use?

[@cmc7106]

Excellent !! 👍

[@georgetsavdaridis7261]

Other than the anatomic handle, seems like a perfectly fine table tennis racket. Don't know what people are on about.

Do you change blades on that bandsaw for resawing vs. cutting relatively tight curves?

wow. i love to have one of your racket blade. . .

The lighter coloring looks better imo but the darker one has an awesome pattern in the wood so I still favor it.

Now all you need is the rubber pads that go on the paddles so you put spin on the ball.
