(Re)-Making All the Parts to Press a DIY Snowboard - Snowboard Build Part 12

[@brodricksiemens1196]

Great job. This is super helpful and it hurt me when I saw that the board was ruined in the last video. Glad you didn’t give up

[@GoodRoads]

Me too dude, I feel like the extra effort was worth it

[@jonahdewitt8464]

beautiful and well thought out build

[@GoodRoads]

Thank you! Cheers!

That seemed to go so much better! Looks really great. I made a jig for drilling out inserts. I just laid out the hole centers on a piece of MDO abs used a 1 1/6 bit to drill pilot holes on a drill press. I then screwed the jig right to the core, and used the same bit to drill through the core. After removing the jig I then used a forstner bit to counter sink using the pilot hole to center the bit. I then flipped the board and drilled through for the insert holes. Any tear out on the exit is hidden inside the counter sink.using a drill press is critical here. It keeps you straight and gives you good depth control.

[@GoodRoads]

I think out of all my experiments I like the pilot hole jig best so far, but I do like the registration keys and I was hoping I'd be able to 3d-print the whole kit. Screwing it in place is a cool idea though, it definitely won't wander that way.

It was finally to complete

Great work!

Excellent bro!

[@sensicz]

Awesome!

I collaborated for years in a snowboard factory, at the beginning without a cnc machine we were using the same method to profile the cores. Talking about epoxy, if you use a tray instead of a cup, epoxy will have more surface contact with air and the tray itself so in case of heating during the pot life it will last longer, if you don't have a wide tray it's enouth to split epoxy in 2 caps, less quantity, less heating during catalization, longer pot life.

[@GoodRoads]

For this method do you mix the epoxy in a cup and then pour it into the tray? I'd be worried that I would be able to mix it thoroughly in a tray

[@simonesivieri1311]

@@GoodRoads yes cup first and then tray.

[@simonesivieri1311]

@Good Roads are you going to use vds rubber between edges and core?

[@KoltronZer0]

SO Stoked to see round two!

[@PilgrimShred]

Nice work! I need to get a profiler set up for my planer as well. That core came out fantastic

[@excursioniamo]

Great video! Thumb up for the longer pot Life resin! Enjoy the lamination👍

[@WaveWasters]

So stoked on how this is looking!

[@b5a5m5]

Can't wait for your channel to blow up so you can get that sweet youtube ad $$$ for more projects 😁

[@GoodRoads]

Thanks bud! Tell your friends hahaha!

[@LongboardTechnology]

Might be partially because this is a 9 min edit, but that seems like it all just went down so smoothly. After watching this, its hard to see your failed board as any sort of a waste. What a great execution. Glad there's somewhere about to get dumped on with fresh snow. Round here, I've not so much as made a snowball all year. The most pathetic season I've ever heard of.

[@GoodRoads]

No you got it right, everything went much more smoothly this time. It's amazing how far even a little bit of experience goes. Sorry to hear about your season. Ours was like that last year, tons of rain. Hope it picks up for you!

[@Donaid]

I finally found a video that explain how to make a snowboard really raelly detail. Thank you so much!! 04:39 Also, could you share the proper thickness of the base and core? just want to know what is the average thickness of it

[@erickrings3036]

Great Vid! I am also working on building a board. I see you printed out the shape of your board to scale on paper. I am working on some cad models right now and would like to do the same. Were you able to have a local print shop do this?? Thanks!

[@GoodRoads]

I printed mine out in sections and then taped them together

[@jameslowe2979]

Does your mold take into account the core is thinner at the tips than at the centre? Core looks great btw

[@GoodRoads]

The mold itself will flex a little bit, but I've also got a soft piece of foam that I'm going to lay on top of the layup over a sheet of plastic that will deform and make sure the whole thing is clamped down evenly

[@jameslowe2979]

@@GoodRoads cool, hope it goes well, looking forward to the pressing and finishing.

[@sergidiazmolina]

hi!! amazing job! i learn a lot from your videos... and it works for me to compare with my building processes and methodologies. i actually build skis since over 2 years, and i would like to move for making the sidewalls in the ski, same as you are doing. but i faced some problems... what router bit are you using? in my case i didn't want to use a very wide one... cause there's a lot more gap to fill later with the casting resin... and it's expensive. and you don't want to go deep that you pass through the wood... so with this caracteristics, the routers i tried were broken. too much heat... any suggestion? thank you in advance

[@erictenney]

Did you still need a polyurethane before pouring the flex it 90?

[@GoodRoads]

I actually didn't think to test that. I did a test to make sure the polyurethane and flex-it wouldn't interact with each other in a bad way but I didn't test without. Might be worth looking in to, it would make things easier.

[@williambrun7045]

Hi Chris, How longer and wider should you make your core so that you have enough space for the sidewalls

[@GoodRoads]

I added an extra two inches on either side and probably a spare 3-4 inches at the nose and tail to try to prevent tearout

[@williambrun7045]

Hello Chris I was wondering if it was possible to buy 2 of your 3D printed panels and if it could fit in an envelope. Thank you

[@GoodRoads]

Do you mean the wedges that I used to make the core profiling cradle? If so, I don't currently have those available (this core profile is... weird) but I could add it to the to-do list

[@erikgustavsson5622]

Hey! What glue are u using when putting the wood strips together to build the core?

[@GoodRoads]

I think I used titebond 3 this time around because it's what I had handy, but normal wood glue will work

[@erikgustavsson3740]

@@GoodRoads ok thanks

[@snorklegorf]

How did you make the paper template?

[@williambrun7045]

Hello Chris How many ounces of flex-it 90 did you chose and what fiber glace did you decide to take

[@GoodRoads]

I used the 22oz glass from snowboardmaterials.com and I don't know how much urethane I used, but it was less than the smallest batch that they have for sale, maybe half of it? Maybe less?

[@williambrun7045]

@@GoodRoads thank you very much

[@logangebhardt]

Why remake the base?

[@GoodRoads]

Because the old one is still epoxied to my failed layup. I also updated the shape of the board this time around which means I needed a new base
