The swinging router jig for the curve decorations was brilliant. An "ah-ha" moment for me. Thank you, awesome craftsmanship

[@Chiselsplay]

You are very welcome!! thanks for watching;))

[@32dras]

Beautiful design, transitions on curves between epoxy and wood are relay sweet!

[@Chiselsplay]

Thanks, I was choosing wood with that in mind;)

[@arelymundo7556]

Nice boards and nice workshop! I would love to be able to do my own boards! The epoxy one is such a cutie. New follower here from Mexico :)

[@Chiselsplay]

Thanks you!! You don’t need much to make a DIY version of it. Jigsaw, sander, and a screwdriver. Thanks all you need to make one.

[@mikaelzerbib]

Awesome!

[@doruksimsek3636]

The one made with resin is E P I C !

[@Chiselsplay]

Thanks!!!

[@TRUETOILETTENPAPIER]

ahhh i love this type of video! so relaxing and makes me wish i had a workshop so i could do all these cool projects too. i guess i’ll just have to make do with your videos for now. greetings from Italy, friend :)

[@Chiselsplay]

thank you!! I am absolutely grateful to be able to come to my cave (workshop) at these times. Best of luck to you!!

[@talesdamascenadelima7818]

congratulations, do you have a template for these models? what are the dimensions of each one?

[@Chiselsplay]

I have plywood templates hanging on my workshop wall. But those won't help you much:D the shape is very simple and easily replicable though (starts from 5:09). I made all three lengths (80cm 90cm and 100cm) in one paper template by folding the straight part of the longboard shape.

Sensacional!👏👏👏

[@rubensrocha7509]

hello, incredible work. what do you pass under the boards to fix them on the base before the resin? is it some kind of silicone?

[@Chiselsplay]

Thanks for watching!! Yup, that's just a regular silicone.

[@SebastianCliment]

Beautiful designs. I'd love to know how the resin performs, I'll have to keep an eye out 😉

[@Chiselsplay]

thanks! from the first feel, the resin one was the sturdiest:) but that may also be a con instead of a pro. We will see, I ask my friend to abuse them without regrets:D

[@Chiselsplay]

Jake Truong just texted the guy who owns it. He sad apart from the weight aspect (it’s a bit heavier than regular plywood board) everything is more or less fine. Just a grip could be better. But I made another version of these with crushed glass grip. That worked really well. I made a video making balance boards with same grip.

[@MrSamuelyuen3]

I am queries with the weight of each of them. I heard solid wood-made skateboards would be too heavy for skating. Would mixing resin with hard wood help to make the board lighter?

[@Chiselsplay]

They all are on a heavy side. But it’s perfectly fine for longboards. If you are looking for skateboard for doing tricks, then this approach isn’t ideal

[@cezarydebowski8722]

Hey, thanks for the video, I didn't hear the info, how thick are the boards? And how they are working after some time?

[@Chiselsplay]

Hi there! Those were somewhere between 18 to 20mm in thickness. And they are still in one piece. One note though, that grip surface is needed. But I solved grip problem in later versions. You can check my video about making a balance board with crashed glass grip

[@cezarydebowski8722]

@@Chiselsplay thank you, you are doing a great job. I managed to do a penny board for my son using your tips

[@ravendot1]

I love your work, do you need a specific type of wood and how thick should it be, and what is the best set of hardware (wheels plus). I want to make one for my son.

[@Chiselsplay]

Thanks!!! Well, I made these without any technical knowledge about longboards. But half a year passed and still no complaints. Anyhow, I made the boards about 18mm thick. Used only hardwood and removed any potential cracking points like knots or crotches. Used d4 glue (for wet conditions). I used polyurethane lacquer to finish them. My friend provided me some wheels with all necessary hardware. I know nothing about this stuff, so I will not comment on this topic. But you can easily buy full wheel sets online. Good luck with your build!!!

[@vijayayanamala5636]

Heeyee lovee your work Could please guide how to make resin longboard at home ?

[@Chiselsplay]

Id Love to help, but I don’t really know what tools and skills you have at your disposal.

[@tufankilinc636]

Nice job! Greetings from Texas!!

[@Chiselsplay]

thank you!!!

[@TanManStrudel]

I've been fascinated by the idea of making boards with epoxy resin, but I have a question. Does resin crack when you drill through it? Are there preparations for that? Or what

[@Chiselsplay]

Epoxy more brittle in comparison with wood, but there no problem drilling it.

[@jameschild3143]

Great job, how did make sure the truck holes were symmetrical?

[@Chiselsplay]

Thanks! I just marked the holes using bottom rubber pad which has all the holes marked

[@jameschild3143]

@@Chiselsplay thanks for your reply. I meant to ask how you made sure the rubber pad was correctly positioned on the board

[@stupitchannel]

Real man

[@ivannetappa862]

what are the dimensions of the boards?

[@Chiselsplay]

There are three sizes 80cm, 90cm and 100cm. They are roughly the same width of 22cm. thicknesses are 18-20mm

[@khaloq2016]

it was butter beautiful to use a pit v grove

[@Chiselsplay]

Thanks;)))

[@suleymanserbest6233]

Perfect !! F.kin art ! Winch size board ?

[@Chiselsplay]

I guess you’re asking about the lengths of the boards. So it’s 80 cm 90cm 100cm

[@suleymanserbest6233]

@@Chiselsplay yes man. i asked him. Well, can you tell me the width of the 80cm one?

[@Chiselsplay]

@@suleymanserbest6233 the width is 22-23cm. And the thickness is about 18mm

[@suleymanserbest6233]

@@Chiselsplay I appreciate you man!

[@fedoradude4780]

Ik this video was made a while ago but how much resin did you use?

[@Chiselsplay]

If I remember correctly I used a bit over 2 L.

[@ianhooper2312]

Nice job, it’s a shame you didn’t have a tap, you could have run one through the black nuts it might have made it easier.

[@Chiselsplay]

thanks!! yeah, it was hard to source anything during that time.

very cool )
