How to build a Wooden/Fiberglass Longboard

[@dogmandan79]

Minus the music, one of the better how to videos for longboards.

[@marcmanuzon7616]

this is by far one of the best diy videos on youtube great build

[@LinnysWorkbench]

Thanks for watching!

[@damianjang3766]

Finally someone with skateboard knowledge AND wood working skills

[@Greysonszokoly]

Finally someone that can longboard and has a helpful guide

[@cavukovic]

This is one of the best diy longboards I've ever seen and you actual know things about longboards unlike a lot of people who have built longboards on youtube

[@LinnysWorkbench]

Thank you, more cool projects coming soon!

[@devin4560]

Beautiful choice of wood. Nice build and finish.

[@danielmuska6068]

this is got to be the best longboard diy video on youtube because everybody ive seen on youtube who made a long board they made it maybe too wide or too narrow or made it short well not that short its seems like they made it short and this one seems like the perfect one well its my opion on it so thats what i think about this video

[@LinnysWorkbench]

Damn that means a lot, thanks for watching!

[@LeHaroun]

+RealityCrafts can you please provide us with the exact dimensions. The board looks awesome. Great job with the fiberglass

[@danielm739]

what an awesome way to longboard. Just Kidding, I like it a lot, good job.

[@eriksk1999]

this video is actually great so helpful since I'm probably going to do exactly what you did, btw how did you get the curve/concave shape?

[@jamesmurphy5478]

Nicest DIY board I've seen

[@jamesnelson6884]

Wow that looks really great!

[@Luftbubblan]

Really like the finish you got on the board. Looks really good :D

[@judepickford4744]

Any recommendations on a lacquer/ sealer?

[@_OldGuard_]

looks great man... congratulations

[@itoweeb]

Work of art 👍🏼👌🏼👍🏼

[@mohikaanimarsu2374]

Good job man, gotta make my own!

[@tanjakimmel6147]

Looks awesome. You skipped the shaping part in total. How did you create the mold for the press etc?

[@sal123ps3]

tanja kimmel the press is commercial if you would want to do it yourself watch every third Thursdays video on how to make a press

[@elwindewitte]

Could you maybe provide a link? I can't seem to find the video anywhere.

[@poultonprojects]

i like the way you did the logo!

[@kyleboyer1074]

I must of missed the part you fiberglassed it?

[@chatterbox8445]

Great longboard !!!

[@LinnysWorkbench]

Thank you!

[@iamenrico9818]

I've built a board at tombalek myself and we put an oil finish as a protective coating, but ever since i've dinged up my board and re-cut it to a different shape leaving the sides of the board exposed to bare wood. I've done a paintjob and grip tape on the top. Was considering to add another layer of lacquer to the bottom to waterproof it a little more, do you think this is necessary? And will the Pylox brand spray lacquer at Home-fix work?

[@LinnysWorkbench]

Yep, lacquer will make the wood waterproof. Pylox brand's lacquer works fine.

[@user-qs7dp6yb2x]

Duuuuuuudde, the orange wheels look like a thousand bucks! Very nice pick! I'd choose a different wood but otherwise liked your video very much. By the way I'm not familiar with the spray grip, does it wear out? if so, how often do you need to reapply it?

[@LinnysWorkbench]

The spray grip i use is pretty durable. It's mostly used for bathroom floors as it can be slippery. It's been almost half a year since then and the grip is still there. I'd recommend another type of spray grip called lucid grip, made specifically for spraying skateboard decks.

[@sobrokeboi]

hey man love what you did but canu please tell me what you used to resaw the wood into thinner ones

[@michaeligoe1356]

[@zqistpvd]

I ride a longboard myself, a Sector 9 Lacey to be precise. Loving how this initiative or workshop is available for people in SG! Always dying to try making my own board. Whats ur board measurement?

[@LinnysWorkbench]

Hi there, my board measures around 115cm long, and 24cm wide. It's a little bit on the longer side, as i'd like more room for dancing.

[@zqistpvd]

+RealityCrafts thats awesome! Personally preference anyway! :)

[@bluepawn]

beautiful board ! Well made (beautiful logo). bring a new step and make it electric with 2 motors fast and powerful for steep hills (and great brakes), huge battery exchangeable in 1 click and... foldable so you can bring it into airplanes when travelling into your backpack.

[@LinnysWorkbench]

Good suggestion! I might make an electric one in future!

[@gargata_]

how much it will cost to buy a longboard dancer deck to Europe? I can`t find from where to buy in Europe or here everything is so overpriced !

[@MitchC00kie]

I'm not sure what you think of as overpriced, but there are plenty of dancers available, also in Europe. I'm sure that a simple Google search for skateshops in your country will provide you with plenty of options to choose from.

[@qpae123]

Amazing job !

[@LinnysWorkbench]

Thank you!

[@FelixgreenYT]

Sad to see you put spray on grit on such a nice board.. a sheet of clear griptape is like $10.. hows it holding up?

[@LinnysWorkbench]

It's been almost a year since i've built it and its still pretty rough! I used a rather good quality one and since i don't drag my feet on the board too much, it lessens the eroding of the grip. I'd rather spray on a clear grip than paste grip tape on it as it'll cover up the beautiful wood under it.

[@FelixgreenYT]

RealityCrafts You made an awesome board so do as you please my man. The clear grip comes out pretty transclucent, I like clear grip to put pictures underneath!

[@florindacorser4974]

hi there i was just wondering what difference it would make applying fiberglass to the top and bottom instead of in between layers?

[@sal123ps3]

Florinda Corser if it where on top it would get damaged and also fiberglass breaks down in the sun so it would eventually break

[@randallscotten5068]

Very nice!

[@epicmonckey25001]

quick question +RealityCrafts idk if i missed this but did you glue the pieces of wood together with the fiberglass in between or did you use resin?

[@LinnysWorkbench]

The wood pieces were bonded with a layer of fiberglass cloth and resin as my adhesive.

[@epicmonckey25001]

ok sweet, thanks

[@itailevy4328]

I want to build a longboard with my dad but where i live we dont have birch or maple sheets so what wood type would you suggest that will last a long time and be easy to shape while im making the longboard?

[@xxdarkbroxx]

you can make the board out of a solid piece of wood if your using it just to cruise. just make sure its strong

[@fausto.molina]

Ta re baga amiguo!

[@RoomiesGarage]

love your work...I subscribed to your channel Sir

[@LinnysWorkbench]

Thank you good sir! More great projects coming soon!

[@RoomiesGarage]

excellent...cant wait!

[@killertoad3888]

I'd love to have a Longboard

[@wolfbrother8496]

I built a solid wood cruiser board and uploaded a process video for it as well. I hope it will be of help to anyone wanting to make one. Feel free to get in touch if anyone needs any help

[@carpinteroandroide9826]

Hello, what is wood? Thanks

[@s7121n9s]

i would make so many boards if I had all this stuff

[@drewwlee]

Love the board can i get the template

[@andreabayotas9764]

Hey, quick queshh..what kind of sticker did u use for that stencil?

[@LinnysWorkbench]

Just ol' fashion masking tape.

[@aidenthwaits2646]

How did u curve it

[@maxvettel8288]

all of these diy longboard videos are cool and all but why does everyone insist on making them ridiculously thick? use stronger wood and less of it. it'll make the board lighter and easier to tote around places where you can't skate.

[@Naomi-rf1bl]

In order to get good flex, professional companies usually use 7 plys of veneer, which is an extremely thin wood. Their wood is probably just a little too thick. Plus, most people who make these are woodworkers, not skaters.

[@papersya867]

to be honest, this longboard doesn’t look too thick to me. that’s just my opinion though. i haven’t been skating for too long, not as long as a lot of skaters in my area at least, who have been skating for around 3+ years

[@whitevanstudios6030]

did he use polish resin to hold it together?

[@LinnysWorkbench]

We used epoxy resin to adhere the planks together.

[@Yumadlol]

do i have to sand the waterproof coating? or just apply like a paint

[@LinnysWorkbench]

No need to sand, it can be applied straight away.

[@Yumadlol]

RealityCrafts kk thanks

[@louisbourret5432]

could you give us the Template of your longboard please ? i will do one but i need a tempate and i love the designe and the shape of yours ! thank you :) great video by the way !

[@smlcdn]

nice board but you have forgot the grip no ? :)

[@LinnysWorkbench]

I did a spray on grip for the board.

[@Adam-mi7bt]

he used spray grit, it's clear so you didn't see it

[@majesticrage469]

+RealityCrafts how much for one

[@ninjadoggy7885]

i'm glad he used it, black grip tape would ruin the beauty of that wood.

[@elwindewitte]

True, but there's something about 'clear griptabe' that I really don't like. I don't know what it is, but it just puts me off everytime. Yet I really love to see the wood. Guess I'm just weird than...

[@MrThreegifts]

I want to build a longboard but this one player keeps stealing my fibreglass...

[@LinnysWorkbench]

Is it the Resin27?

[@Ben-sm1tm]

RealityCrafts who's the resin27?

[@garettjohnson2234]

Some say he was the first Fiberglass long board builder...

[@bigbluesun9338]

TTXD Gaming haha

[@ashleyaopoku7508]

MrThreegifts thghhj

[@solsol2473]

what was the music

[@subzeroxd5483]

Epic!!!!👍

[@skateboardingvideos4911]

Grip tape ???

[@jessebittermann5530]

Twariq Dustagheer He used a spray Grip if you payed attention 😑😑

[@dannybolanos4219]

He used spray grip but let’s all just admit it, spray grip sucks

[@nikolasvrabel146]

Nice =) 🤙

[@kylabrock8334]

measurements?

[@lucas-cl8eq]

wath song ar 6:45

[@geertenvreugdenhil]

cool muzic

[@sandinsalicevic4616]

Last Song name??!?!!!????

[@t-rex2645]

you forgot to add concave to the deck. concave is really essential, especially for cruising at a bit higher speeds or riding in rain.

[@LinnysWorkbench]

Actually there is a slight concave on the deck. I guess the camera did not capture it well.

[@BryceKimball7.3]

Auke why is concave essential while riding in the rain?

[@t-rex2645]

because the top of the board will lose a lot of it's grip when it gets wet. So then you're basically standing on a slippery wet piece of wood.(phrasing lol) and then you can really use concave to stay on to board (because concave will generally help locked in your feet due to it's shape.

[@lucas-cl8eq]

Auke i isnt geting slipery if you have a regular deck with griptape but concave helps a bit

[@sal123ps3]

Auke it actually is concaved if you look

[@HaroldTechGame]

Are you from Singapore? Haha

[@LinnysWorkbench]

Haha yep!

[@HaroldTechGame]

RealityCrafts Cool bro! I am also keen on building one. Which workshop do you go to?

[@LinnysWorkbench]

I work in a workshop makerspace so i do my projects there. You can look for Guangjun at Tombalek, his facebook is in the link's description.

[@HaroldTechGame]

Thanks bro!

[@tylerlong8928]

when rounding edges and you dont have a router just put sandpaper in a 1 inch PVC pipe and run it along the edges

[@jerryrhett]

Curvature at the nose and tail is incorrect for that length of a longboard or longboard in general. But still a great design and board!

[@LinnysWorkbench]

I see, thanks for pointing that out!

[@jerryrhett]

+RealityCrafts No problem!

[@Yumadlol]

whats wrong with it?

[@fedetedeschi2456]

how much all the materials ? please answer me

[@iamenrico9818]

You can take the class there for $60 i think, $40 for students. The materials for the deck itself is $90 for basic fibreglass composite (as shown in the video).

[@fedetedeschi2456]

+iAM Enrico thanks

[@yassineberguita1647]

woow man...That's toooo much...i build the deck about 10$

[@FelixgreenYT]

yassine berguita I'm sure you do.

[@notmatthew3183]

Make a trick board next

[@BryceKimball7.3]

Not Matthew a skateboard?

[@sal123ps3]

Matthew Bellefeuille they are extremely hard to make due to all the advanced curvs

[@bryanmansanilla6978]

sana magkameron din ako ng longboard😥

[@martinguzman545]

can I have the board I really want one

[@LinnysWorkbench]

Sorry this board is for personal use. You can make one with the given tools! It's actually quite easy.

[@martinguzman545]

Y but I'm a kid

[@martinguzman545]

But I see how it is 😢😢😢😢

[@juancena6929]

+Martin Guzman just ask your parents

[@iamenrico9818]

Why does that matter? I'm 14 and I've built two, what's the problem?

[@okkymartriogandhi2336]

make it an electric motor board. it would be great

[@adolfshitler8341]

Okky Martrio finally a reason for him the get rid of the bear trucks and orangutan wheels, calibers and flywheels are best for eskate as well as normal longboarding tbh

[@toastyj7557]

that nice look wont last long if your on the road

[@LinnysWorkbench]

Thankfully i'm on the pavements most of the time!

[@jacobtulak2090]

to me, I would have put the stencil on the top.

[@legomotion1236]

kewl

[@michiderkinderen7633]

really nice work, although the fibreglass isnt very effective.

[@LinnysWorkbench]

Fibreglass makes the board a little more springy, and will prevent delamination. Although i should try carbon fiber instead since it's stronger than fibreglass.

[@michiderkinderen7633]

I also like the springy effect of fibreglass. But fiber is most effective on the top and bottom of the board (sadly, it would destroy your nice wood finish, so the best Option would be to put a thin veneer as a top layer). Also, woven fibreglass isnt as nice and effective as straight, one-directional ( 0°, put on the bottom to regulate flex) or two-directional (+/-45°, put on top AND bottom to prevent torsion) fibre. Carbon fibre is nice to get stiff boards, it doesn't provide a nice flex like fibreglass. You shouldn't worry about delamination between wood layers if using epoxy (be sure to wash out oily wood with thinner). Have a nice weekend!

[@LinnysWorkbench]

Thanks for watching! Very useful info.

[@MeesDeppe_Official]

400 grit wasn't necesary. 200 would have been enough. when you apply lacquer, the fibres of the wood will expand so you're going to have to sand it again anyway for the second layer. just a tip

[@LinnysWorkbench]

Thanks for the info! I guess it's just a habit of mine to sand my woodworking projects up to 400 to remove all the fine scratches.

[@super_meir]

dude you put the trucks on the opiset way

[@LinnysWorkbench]

It's a reverse kingpin truck, it's supposed to be facing outwards.

[@super_meir]

realy? i have didn't knew that

[@caramelboy9605]

Rip griptape

[@ПавелВесельчак-ю4в]

What is it - Nyatoh and Balsa??? Google translator is not translating.... Sorry, I'm from Russia...

[@PCayMan]

[@ПавелВесельчак-ю4в]

Tom Murphy, Thank you dude!!!

[@wolfyalfhiem141]

im making my own long board and im going to sell it for 50$ its called the wave board

[@83RBurke]

Nice board, but a person with access to a 40,000$ shop doesn't really need an instruction manual. A how to with common tools would've been much more appropriate.

[@LinnysWorkbench]

Hmm you're right. If i make another one in future, i'll try to use common tools so that others can have a rough idea on how it goes with normal tools.

[@womplestilskin]

$40,000 is a low guess those are industrial planers and saws.

[@Naomi-rf1bl]

Most of these things can be done with regular cheap tools

[@spankwiregaming4645]

Why is there a pentagram is he satanic?

[@LinnysWorkbench]

No haha, i just see it as nice looking that's all.

[@-vstraus-]

why a satanic symbol though

[@brandonweeks7057]

That is the devil star and I'm Christian so that offends me because I thought it was guna be some normal review but when it reached the design part I couldn't watch it sorry but apart from that it was a good longboard

[@zinzifranken8060]

What has that star to do with THE Devil

[@bumblebeeprime14psn53]

actually its quite the opposite , that's an antipossestion pentagram , which keeps evil out , it would only become satanic if it was inverted

[@LinnysWorkbench]

You're over-complicating things. I chose that design because it looked nice that's all LMAO

[@excellentchannel6380]

How much that is bord ? only bord ?
