How to Make a Longboard | The Easiest Way Possible!

[@plaguepartyy]

When clear coating, you should always lightly sand the first coat, lay on a second coat, lightly sand the second coat as well, then spray a third finishing coat. Makes it as smooth as glass and much stronger than just one normal coat.

IKR LIKE SCREW WOOD MAKING, BECOME A GARDNER

[@brangle7251]

I live in vegas and we never get grass like that😂

[@poppy-maistratford6879]

that's exactly what i wad thinking

[@kalibbybee4764]

A few tips. Add more weight to the middle of you are doing it this way. Less chance for air pockets. Put an 1/8" round over on the edges, it prevents chipping if it wrecks into a curb as well as cleaning it up. Add fiberglass between one of the plies for added strength. Great work tho, love making these

[@maddmack]

I always assume the price of the board was because of brands. Lol it's nice to hear what else goes in to this type of work.

[@floridamanpodcast]

you should have put some clear coat on after the stickers bro

[@luciousdavis3341]

Quentin Mosquera I would

[@hussainfazleali4122]

If he changed his mind about the stickers it would be a problem

[@Bennyfinklestienfurtrapper]

you need to switch the direction of the grain between every ply for strength otherwise i am impressed with how well you did with your wood work. nice to see young people keeping the trade alive

[@starsand1me811]

Richard Ahlers he might have had good woodworking but not good board making i have both a longboard and a regular skateboard and they are not nearly as thick as the ones you see here not to mention if he has a router he should have used it on the sides

[@Oviraptor78]

starsand1 me bear in mind that not everyone has the money nor space for a router. I think he did a perfectly fine job with the tools he had.

[@hazebobisboby9759]

starsand1 me I prefer sanding a rounded edge looks a lot better then two joined router cuts

[@THEGLASSMANSWORLD]

I was thinking the same thing. If he had only purchased 2 pieces of wood to begin with, then he could've ripped them on the table saw at the same time with one going against the grain and one with the grain. I was also wondering why he didn't cut out the holes where the trucks go, and if those holes are even necessary or just gives a longboard it's natural look.

[@susanbostwick5537]

Eric i love to see a young man like your self doing what you do great job buddy

[@robbevannuffel6497]

just a little tip: when u are cutting with a table saw raise the blade just above the material.this way u get a much cleaner cut

[@DBCarpentryNV]

The board came out sick and the stickers were a nice touch!! Great project and build altogether.

[@benjaminschultze716]

This is a nice longboard, it is easy to make to. Good Job

[@THEGLASSMANSWORLD]

Nice tutorial! I was thinking if you had purchased 2 pieces of wood at first you could've cut one with the grain and one against the grain for more strength. And it would've been just as easy to rip them both at the same time on your table saw. I also would've tried to center the grain on the top board just for looks and design. But you did an excellent job here! Thanks for sharing!

[@isaacbraun1366]

Great Video! I thought about building one a few years ago, never got around to it, but now I might reconsider!

[@jobyjob]

thanks for the instructional video! I will definitely be using this tutorial for an art project I am working on in the very near future.

[@gmac6509]

Class video buddy, thank you for putting this up. I’m off to make a Scottish version. 😁👍🏻

Great! Thanks! Hi from Russia

[@boazandruth909]

once again incredible job youngster..my hats off to ya...

[@RoyalBizbud]

This was very helpful thanks, I'm going to go try to make my own now

[@whathappenedmyvodka]

Woow soo good man ! Good job!

[@scootjourney5513]

Nice job I made a longboats using thick wood and it turned out really well

[@ProfessorThock]

:o Convex board shape would weird me out so much. I guess it flattened out once you rode it, but is this material more flexy than bamboo? Woulda thought you'd just try to go for a concave radial bend. Would it be possible to bend the large piece of wood before cutting it into thirds so that you could have a radial bend?

[@Coprionix]

its obviously not as flexible as bamboo... and yes it is possible to bend it but if you do you have to glue every layer yourself, while the glue is drying you need to clamp the middle edit: and yes i do realize this is 4 years ago

[@kylef8922]

You help me a lot bro thx

[@jrkwoodworks]

Looks like a smooth ride to me.

[@gregandmellissastephens166]

It didn't seem too much for the average kid to do. And looks really cool!

[@porkfied]

@@EricLindberg You did it great though ,it gets easy when you do it alot.I might have to try this but I do not have the machine tools you have.The flex boards are expensive to buy on line.

[@Wayne-hs6gm]

i was impressed with your woodworking, i was a little depressed with your design on the belly of the bored, but that is your preference.

[@bikesandboards6870]

Great vid man

[@Solubois]

Excellent video Eric! Thanks.

Congratulations for the job and thanks for helping us. Greetings from Brasil :)

[@adrianrazon7986]

Ik its about 1 year old but Nice Wood Shop Area👍. I do like the style u made for the longboard😮. It's a Very Simple Design and it's flexible too🤷‍♂️.

[@jackyoung4575]

the template website got hacked and is a porn website, any other good template websites?

[@Kt1cckw]

Jack Young I went down to the local board shop and asked if I could take the correct messure ments of one of theyr boards

Tobias Hoff Iversen what were the measurements? I’m building one myself

[@bradynbrown213]

Wow, thanks for saying that I almost hit enter and then I read this comment 😉

[@JostMe]

"You only need one piece of equipment of 30$", uses 20 clamps on the board ;p

[@ryanblackwell8321]

Snoozle and also a drill/drillpress

[@rullisdownhill4247]

30$ saw an like 200$ worth of clamps

[@KitKat-lp8gn]

And the premium wood glue, and the ginger, and...

[@hussainfazleali4122]

You don’t need clamps

[@hussainfazleali4122]

U can just use weights

[@peaklegacy146]

My brother has made 3 longboards out of aluminum. They are great to ride.

[@Timthornton1]

Nice video Eric, what template did you use?( sorry I cant find one that is 8" wide) I would like to make a couple for my 10 and 12 year old.

[@ClydeBuilt]

Nice build Eric....

[@MrPalakas]

This is amazing!! Good job due!! I want to make one too now! :D

[@wimm1392]

Awesome job.Thanks for sharing

[@jeffoffej]

Nice build man!

[@sosal1ty]

Very good job!

[@opeboi1539]

i know you said that it helps the flex when you put the bend in but how effective is it?

[@isaaclyonsf1]

It means that the board can flex but with more ground clearance.

[@opeboi1539]

Isaac Lyons Thanks but I already knew what it was meaning to do, he just never actually stood on the board to show if it worked, I actually built my own version of this board and it turned out somewhat nice despite it being a little thin for my preference but I guess that was my fault haha.

[@isaaclyonsf1]

@@opeboi1539 awesome 👍 I'm looking at building one myself but I'm struggling to find anywhere to buy the birch ply for a decent price.

[@WatchMeDIYIt]

Awesome board, man! BTW, I finally started making a table sled using your instructions!

[@AlyRamy1]

I really like your tutorial but I have to ask is it comfortable to ride with that curve on downhills?

[@Thom4123]

Sweet ride!!! Sweet project excellent build keep up the great work

[@baptistehess7191]

+Eric Lindberg Yeah good longboard! I have just one question, where you found the template ? Because I don't know what sises I have to make.. (sorry for my english I'm french, I hope you understand me)

dude i have a question can you send me this board and let me keep it if so tell me

Nice work

[@AshleyK1ng]

5:23 you look so serious / angry :D Whats that clear coat done to you ;) ?

[@lamborgini626]

if you wanted to, is it possible to but bends on the sides of the boards so you can turn easier? is it easy as bending it while the glue dries?.

[@f1_fanatic830]

Would it be all right to use 1/2in birch plywood for this project?

[@angelsson]

Awesome project very well explained - subscribed! :)

Can you try and make a cruiser board in that shape? Just a fun challenge you might want to try

[@void3923]

Dude you have improved so much I was watching your videos back when you had like 200-300 subs Great quality

[@MAABAA]

This is way easier than i thought

[@nolanfoxwell3427]

Eric Lindberg what if you don't have any clamps but cinder blocks will they work just as well

[@workingtitle1455]

HI, Burch and Maple veneers are very difficult to find where I'm from. The easiest or abundant supply here is 2mm Marine plywood. Have you tried making boards(decks) out of marine plywood? I do not know if marine plywood will be as durable as maple or will they be as easy to bend for shallow concave and slight kick-tail as 1.6mm maple.

[@Ben-pi5ww]

Marine plywood is flexible but not very strong. I think it would be best to use baltic birch or maple.

[@Rutce125]

so, were those some old trucks, or did you order them from somewhere? I'm thinking of building a couple of these for my three boys.

[@joshpeterson788]

Really cool vid, definitely going to try this out! I noticed there was a fair amount of flex in the board itself, is there a wood that wouldn't have so much flex or would maybe using another layer work? Thanks!

[@coen7371]

I dont really know other kinds of wood but i do know that it isnt bad when your board has flex, it is supposed to have it. however you shouldnt have all too much of it

[@iiannaii4725]

Hey, thanks for the great vid! Do you still have the file for the template? I can't seem to open the link in your description-box...

[@demoth]

i remember spending 30 mins each trip walking to my friend house. wouldve save so much time if i wouldve just gotten me a longboard. ugh wasted childhood....time

[@aaronmoreno7031]

nice job and video

[@elijahtyron8749]

Cool! Thumbs up!!

[@treycowher114]

For those confused about reverse kingpin trucks. Rule of thumb: pivot cup is always on the outsides of the board

[@supertrampk8154]

Awesome video Bro this Is what I was waiting for I like the cruiser and longboard videos, if you can can you make a regular street skateboard deck and mold from diy skate not a lot of proper videos on mold making. Thanks

[@racingnovabossgamer3557]

That is AWSOME OH I AM GONNA TRY THAT AT HOME

[@HobbyMaschine]

very cool Video!!! and what is this for a lathe ? like👍

[@juliansosa8044]

About how long did it take you to build this? I'm currently building a longboard for a school project and would like to know if it would take at least 15 hours to do so? Thanks

[@b.eduardo5105]

Julian Sosa it's a lot of waiting for things to dry, but actual cutting is a few minutes

[@jackeggen7779]

Julian Sosa use the school laser cutter to ingrave something on the bottom, that would kill more time ( if you have access to one of course)

[@ivanvolchek1187]

Very cool

[@siashenbhagwandin]

Amazing content,Keep it up 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@JoshDrumm]

just started watching you! you explain things very well. question. I am 6'7" 250lbs. what wood should use to make a 40 inch long board?

Josh Drumm 2x6's

[@mukulhariharan4715]

Damn you’re big

[@oscarbueso524]

About how much would it cost for all this including the trucks, wheels, bearings and griptape

[@jakeranch6731]

Im dying to know! What is that roller thing you used to spread the glue?

[@pop52jo43]

is it 1/4" birch plywood? or just 1/4" sheets of birch?

[@mplgyaan6818]

very nice

[@temonakashidze6056]

hi guys i want to make a longboard but in my country birch and bamboo are very expensive and can i get a good deck with other wood materials??

[@charlesholland6851]

very nice.

[@aymenelouardi2426]

i really like your video im from morroco and i leave theire and i want to ask a question is this long board resitant

[@pasci1237]

AWESOME!

[@deaflox2062]

Is it possible to get a flex into the board after gluing it together?? I kinda overlooked it, thought it was think enough..

[@nickbrazzale2522]

no the wood has to form a bond with the glue

[@bostontricker211]

The board looks really small in my opinion. Maybe because most longboards are at least 9 inch wide and 41 inch long max. Also you don't need to put riser pads on the board since the shape of the board is design to allow wheel clearance.

[@BEEBEE159]

Cool video...

[@freebieslearning3486]

Dimension for the ply and total long board size with LBH HELP PLEASE

[@aizadafiq6420]

What type of wood did he use ? Is it plywood ? I want to make a E-skateboard so i need opinion about the type of wood instead of using maple and bamboo . Pls help me guys

[@RoronoaZoro388]

nice job what the plywood thickness ? Is it flex enough for an 200 pounds adult &

[@wiktoriaskoczylas2342]

i made a longboard thx it works great

[@isaacgonzalez4595]

What’s the size of the drill bit did you use to drill out the holes for the trucks?

[@ajscilla]

Can u use the prelate red plywood. The stuff that has like 3-4 layers?

[@chaincyclist2736]

I'm currently building a longboard for a motorized longboard project I've been planning. I'm in school, and am taking advantage of my cabinetry class to build the board. I found a 5x1 1/2 sheet of Baltic Birch. However, the sheet is quite thick as it has 9 layers. Would i still need to go through the gluing process or am I good to go on shaping it?

[@C4Fernandez]

The lamination of multiple plies is what keeps the board in that curved shape. You may need thinner sheets so you can laminate them into the right shape or use the Baltic Birch you currently have and laminate into a thicker longboard.

[@chaincyclist2736]

Is the curved shape necessary though? Will the board snap if I don't have it that way or would it just flex when i stand on it? Also to be more specific it's about a half inch thick.

[@C4Fernandez]

I'd do a test and see if the board flexes if you stand on it. Because your sheets are quite thick, your longboard will most likely be classed as solid wood which has been done before. The curve also acts as suspension which will help for bumpy roads and will increase traction as your weight will cause pressure to be exerted on the trucks a lot more efficiently but not that much.

[@chaincyclist2736]

So what you're saying is that I don't need to have the curve, but that it's recommended?

[@C4Fernandez]

Pretty much pretty fly guy. :) There is a few videos of hardwood long boards that you should check out!

[@kardkingz3380]

Great Video! I just got the same trucks you have, and I just wanted to know what you thought of them. Your videos are amazing btw!

[@nickbrazzale2522]

where did you get them?
