Can you try to do a skateboard deck out of epoxy? I think it will be interesting😅

[@lizh1988]

The best finishing product is the video! Thanks.

[@miankhuram2201]

Good one Can you explain how to get use Skyp board?

[@pierredelecto7069]

If someday I found out Woby had been beating up kids for their skateboards id be disappointed but not surprised.

[@JackmanWorks]

Eeeeeeeeeepoxy

[@narco73]

I'm impressed with. how organised you must be to have a workshop in a shipping container!

[@JeremyCanary]

DUDE! This video is exactly what I needed to find! With all this new found free time due to the state of the world at the moment, I've been looking for a new project. I've been saving up all my old skateboards for years. Just recently, I came up with the idea to turn my skateboards into a climbing hangboard trainer but was racking my brain on how to go about doing this. Then I stumbled upon your channel! I'm so stoked now to get this project started!

[@kylehowerton5158]

...stumbled?? ha!

[@MichaelIanWright]

Watching these videos calms me, thank you for soothing content.

[@wakest]

was really inspired by watching your videos through the pandemic and have since started to play around with laminating end grain plywood scraps together into "lumber" and making little boxes with it. thanks for your enthusiastic content!

[@WobyDesign]

Check out @almfab

[@wakest]

Woby Design oh cool I will thanks!

[@bigben5056]

I’ve been watching this guy n absolutely love his energy. I used to work for John Grinnon Co. & Woodcraft back in Hawaii fixing all the woodworking tools. Seeing his shop n layout brings back memories not to mention his creativity is hands down inspirational n awesome. Love the videos bro keep’um coming!!!

[@WobyDesign]

Thank you! Really appreciate it :)

[@alicepepike]

I really appreciate how you make your small space work! You see so many makers on youtube with enormous studios. I'm a seamstress and work in our tiny box room! It's great to see how you fit everything in!

[@interiorsmartdesigner]

Very good job

[@Diliverium]

The lumber looks so rad! Excited to see what you are gonna make from it. And for a fellow small-shop woodworker it is really inspiring to see how much you get done in that little shop!

[@woodgraintv4934]

Can’t wait to see what Izzy is going to make for you to help with the grip tape problem.

[@TheOneLifeRider]

It's like watching an informercial and enjoying every minute of it :)

[@WaveWasters]

Wonder if the carving discs would work for making surfboard fins or if it would be to aggressive.

[@corystewart1677]

Have you ever tried to steam the decks and then press them to try and take the pop/contours out? I've wondered for a long time if you could flatten decks back to their original state with steam. You might be able to eliminate some waste if steaming could help flatten the decks before you laminate them together...might be worth a try. Either way, keep up the great work!

[@splashpit]

Cory Stewart why ? It's the randomness of the grain that makes it look good !

[@johnwayne2103]

Steam, a Press and then a drum sander. Time is money.

[@imchris5000]

steaming would also make the grip tape just fall right off. the only downside I could see is adding moisture which you will have to dry back out

[@rodney73991]

kind like bend end lets know it skate bord. long bord squre dosent manter if lines in bord is curved. but your right if wants add another step steam bores allow flatten it or turn heart shape have right forms.

[@Colonel_Flanders]

No. That would never work. The reason they hold their concave is because the plies are glued together while they are bent into that shape. To unbend them you would have to unglue the plies, which would be impossible

[@FelipeMaxwell31]

excellent work, congratulations. Brazilian here 😎

[@txag007]

That is some wild quarter sawn lumber!!!!

[@spunn_co]

Make a some gun stocks like a shotgun stock or rifle stock or pistol grips make something for guns out of skateboards I really think gun stocks would be awesome out of skateboards

[@Lou13Cyf3r]

Dude. These look sooooooo badass

[@xyzcreate]

Besides cost, are there any downsides to using epoxy over wood glue to laminate these boards together?

[@alexzoin]

That stuff needs to be bookmatched and made into a guitar. So cool.

[@nnthsttrls]

Stoked you got sponsors. Looking forward to the future.

[@JSLeeds]

I want recycled skateboard wood flooring in my kitchen! Great job sir.

[@brendonbirkenstock6011]

What are the three pressure pumps to pressure the glue together for a day? Where’sa link for those? Can you make a video on how you made that gluing chamber/rack?

[@raymondcoggins297]

Great use of old skateboards they look awesome

[@magalimertens7601]

I've been watching your videos for a while now, and I think your collaboration with totalboat is... Natural. It HAD to be. It's perfect. BUT I watch your videos to see a crazy patient guy making awesome stuff out of broken skateboards. Not an advertisement for this tool or this product. This video had too much of it for my taste. Thank you still for sharing all your work with us!

[@WobyDesign]

Magali Mertens I appreciate you watching my videos. I like to shoutout the people that feed me and continue to allow me to do what I do best, which is making content. As much as I’d love to do it without them, it’s so much harder and to be honest, I’d probably go back to my day job. Also, this is a 4 year research. And I would’ve loved it if someone else came out with a video explaining why I should’ve been using king Arthur’s tools holey Galahad discs to remove the skateboard residue. But instead I wasted through hundreds of flap discs. Or pay a little extra to have the safety of electromagnetic stop switch and get a bigger stable bandsaw with 131.5 length that’s not only easier find blades for but more options vs. 115 inch. Either way, if you tap right twice, you skip 5 seconds...

[@magalimertens7601]

​@@WobyDesign I get it, of course! Thanking your sponsors is necessary. I'm not a professionnal of advertising, I'm just a watcher. I guess in videos I would prefer you telling us exactly what you just wrote me: why the products changed YOUR way to work. What you just wrote me really interested me because I'm curious of your work, not (yet???) on the product. By the way it feels very good to be read and it's very cool from you to answer!

[@derik_niez]

Welp, looks like it’s time to make a hydraulic press at work.. and a tool holding jig for Printers/CNC tables. Thanks for the hard work and inspiration!

[@oldhess]

Ok what are those forms you put under and on top of the decks when you pressed them made of?

[@valorwoodturning2976]

i think u should make a skateboard bandsaw box definetly! (everyone like if you agree so he will see this comment!

[@julianabrunelli2077]

Dude.. you have a dream job! Success!!! Greetings from Brasil!!!

[@Synthetic-Chicken]

That was really satisfying watching the epoxy ooze out when you pressed it down!

[@kenluning909]

That jig that Izzy gonna design for ya should be awesome.

[@randomshit65]

I'm starting to get into woodworking and recycling my boards. What tools would you recommend to prep the boards and cut to strips?? I'm already thinking a belt sander cuz that will make my life way easier then my dremel I use right now haha. But what else would be essential? Like a mitor saw or jigsaw?

[@desertratworkshop306]

Great idea love your shop.

[@1986fritzthecat]

This is pretty cool, he should definitely be wearing a mask when dealing with all that resin dust though

[@graysoncloud3902]

I really really like your channel.

[@briturner11]

Come for the woodworking. Stay for the WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[@theodurbin8672]

... also: supercut of Woby whoos

[@LionOfJudahRules1]

Nice! That would make an awesome table / desk top!!

[@MitchSprague]

I don't have a shop or do any of what you do but damn if it isn't all super interesting to watch!

[@NYKnicksStateOfMInd]

Would putting these in some sort of oven help to make your process easier to remove the top layer by softening the adhesive ?

[@russellbramante4428]

how did you make the mold/form for the clamp press and what is that clamp press called

[@montabarouette6067]

As usual I love your videos ... keep going you always give me good ideas. my son loves your workshops. 👌👌👌

[@danielcarrillosantamaria6067]

I'd like to know Jackman Works' reaction after you said you might have stick with pallets... 😂 😂

[@JackmanWorks]

I'll stick with pallets

[@WobyDesign]

Just to warn you, they have a pallet recycling facility right behind my shop so thread carefully

[@kenharper349]

@@WobyDesign What would happen if you shipped some of the lumber you made to Jackman Works? I don't know if he would know what to do.

[@matthewjennerich7633]

@Bourbonmoth Bespoke skateboard pallet river table?

[@negotiableaffections]

Now, that's what I call ply-wood!

[@travtravyhawkmanhawk760]

I'm surprised the heat gun not made outta broken boards 🤙👌

[@powermoveengineering]

What's a normal asking price for a broken skateboard for anyone planning to try this out? Thanks!

[@keithrandt7]

Mob grip is perforated so it wants to tear when you take it off. I used to work at a skate shop and would dread when someone would want to re grip a board that had Mob

[@sgsax]

That's why you're the boss. 😁 Nice step-by-step. Thanks for sharing!

[@IanF5]

Bro you get a like just for all that prep work, DAMN!

[@BeerCityWoodworking]

Hey man! You’re a huge inspiration. Thanks for the awesome content!

[@jakobengl5778]

What kind of wax are you using?

[@tiffanypeek5925]

What’s the best way to remove the sticky left behind after you remove the grip tape? Acetone made it worse and I’ve tried 40 - 120 grit sanding discs on my sander and that just get full of the glue after about a minute.

[@jfgaxeworks3447]

Those would make some neat looking guitar blanks!

[@angelateagardner4849]

Gorgeous work!

[@frankierzucekjr]

That's awesome. Now use the boards to make your dog a badass dog house.

[@theodurbin8672]

You've really gotten your procedures down, man. This is working.

[@hawaii50mark]

Did you make or buy that press?

[@roguecthulhu6002]

Between the labor and the epoxy, the production costs of this lumber easily exceeds its value by 100x or more.

[@duanehill1842]

That's pretty wood. Love it.

[@guruprasad1022]

At 10:12, I too smiled at him automatically! So much of passion and involvement...kept me engaged throughout.

[@TracksWithDax]

I always forget how hype you are Ben 😂 love your energy

[@JolienBrebels]

Beautiful lumber! Great video!

[@mohammadamir1261]

U should have made a chopping board . With that design . God know how crazy it would look .. , looking forward to that 🤘🤘🤣🤣

[@funkophone]

This is seriously rad, man. Good stuff.

[@luisrojas2382]

Have you ever experimented stacking the skateboards like bricks when you glue them togther??

[@Repairmannomad]

If you had a handle on the end of the grip roller it might give you more leverage. But idk I might have no idea what I’m talking about.

[@hoangtan227]

how did you get the broken skateboards?

[@nikolakoa4516]

I hope to see these slaps of lumber for sell in the future

[@beardguyworkshop]

This was very inspirational to watch, I have to start making things out of old skateboards now.

[@thebeardeddove]

i think we can all agree that your finished results are amazing, however, i pity you for the process you go through to get them. By far the most most intensive tedious labour process i have ever witnessed. Hat's off for your determination haha

[@Metallica4life1981]

Where can I buy that lumber?

[@issalawson2199]

Love the grind mate! No pun intended lol Good to see someone doing something they are passionate about 🤙🏾

[@WobyDesign]

Thank you!

[@DIYMinded]

Great video. Just an idea, could you put the board under a cheap heat lamp to soften the glue on the grip tape? Then you could be peeling one while the next one is heating.

[@feltron]

What dimensions are these?

[@FrankDreban1]

Thanks for the great video. Again.

[@MattyJ313]

I think it would look dope if you added an edge to one of those planks and made it a shelf, or just made it half as thick and routed the edge

[@jimmymac601]

I don't get KZbin viewers sometimes. Why does this video have any thumbs down ? Great job dude.

[@lancewilliams1001]

All I need is a little skateboard lumber to make me some gauges!!

[@benmooreman]

What made you switch from the Laguna to the Grizzly bandsaw?

[@Mrhadatte]

Have you considered chopping the tips and tails to join them together to make like a mitered herringbone? The lumber would be shorter but if everything lined up you'd have some pretty dope material to play with patterning and veneers.

[@samanthaclapp9729]

Do you sell pieces of the lumber you make or strictly for your own creations?

[@rwigginton1981]

I feel like those blanks would make awesome stair treads that im sure Ben Uyeda could use at his container house. Or maybe floating shelves.

[@suearmstrong3404]

That is beautiful wood!! LOVE IT!

[@MrLrod00]

Would make an amazing “floating” shelf!

[@Otamaneko]

What's the music at 6:20 ? 😮

[@BJames-lm9uk]

Been seeing your Instagram pics and been waiting for this video. 👍

[@vallevaan]

put the boards into a oven so the glue on the grip tape is soft and you can get it off way easier?

[@Nobody-U-Want-2-Know]

Should be wiping top and bottom with isopropyl alcohol before bonding. You’ll get much better lamination results compared to just sweeping.

[@TeamStevers]

New favorite channel

[@gaffyh1745]

I was missing the "Whoo's" during the videos, thankfully the big one at the end made up for it

[@1986fritzthecat]

I'm new to his channel, sadly that whoos were a big turn off. Aside from that his stuff is pretty darn cool

[@edaleman6716]

You have a very nice work space

[@barirwin8559]

you have great patience. new sub.

[@porschepanamera92]

Do wanna try to make a larger CLT beam out of skateboards? Might not be alowed to use it as a structural member, but at least it would look cool. Maybe someone in town has a machine to do those special finger joints.

[@cooperc9441]

You should make a cool pallet out the skateboards for an interior design piece

[@leosway4320]

Wouldnt a drum sander help?

[@heyimamaker]

Ben, I think you need to get yourself an oven that can hold a stack of boards.

[@Syx699]

It's like Damascus for lumber.

[@renegado4173]

When’s the quarter pipe coming?

[@thijs199]

It's really beautiful. But outside of a workbench I wouldn't know what to do with it.
