THANK YOU!! ✌️👑

[@fifasims1996]

Ok, I like the end line. We need a buy vs build series!!!

[@maxonmathew4557]

Finally, a video that reflect what TKOR really was meant for

[@billyoung9538]

The video should be listed as a part 1 due to the time of year limitation for testing it, and part 2 should come once the weather is correct for testing.

[@Cole_Michael]

This is the kind of content that originally got me interested in tkor thank you so much for the at home feeling with the new content. Keep it up I love it!!!

[@arunkumaarpoongothaiprabha5020]

Grace, Once you have done the composite and resin layering, you NEED to put it in a vaccum chamber. This is because the resin contains air while getting it mixed. Either put the resin in the vacuum chamber before layering or after. You can also do that by wrapping it in a plastic bag on one side, Sealing it off then sucking out the air. You could also put it in an Autoclave but I don't know at what temperature you should hold the Autoclave at for the type of wood you used. That way you'd have a more sturdy and yet a lightweight snowboard.

[@davidostertag7689]

These build videos are my favorite!!

[@StigDesign]

Maby try skateBoard 80s style or regular style, but i think 80s style can be made easy with wood and griptape and it has only the tail bended, might need to buy trucks tho, Great video :D

[@zeening]

that was super cool and really well done!

[@jakemakes]

Looks to me like your wood core was a tad too thick for that bend and those clamps couldn't provide enough clamping force. Next try you should park your car on top of the press lol. Or use screw clamps. They have a lot more clamping force cuz mechanical advantage.

[@gurshaanbasra3639]

I love watching grace use and learn how to use tools its fun, no taking bad on the tool skills but I love watching people learning to use tools

[@christianheichel]

You once changed the density of wood by sticking it submerged in water in a vacuum chamber could you do the same thing with molten metal that's below the flash point of wood which is 300° C. Would it absorb the metal? I think that would be cool. You'd need to make a seal that allows the cord of a hotplate to go through. Then you need a pot and metals/alloys.

[@averyandrasul3954]

Love your videos

[@kkjohn]

with those edges you put on, it aint go going to catch anything thing. you will be flying off the cliff. love the effort and vid but the board can just stay on the shelf.

[@jeri8512]

Cool! I wanna try this myself but it doesn't always snow where I live but it'd still be cool to have a board I made myself.

[@bxauh]

Thank you for keeping his legacy alive it’s what he would have wanted

[@ken2391]

Gotta do it 2 more times because the 3rd time's the charm. 👍

[@sbx2006]

I just made a longboard in school so it's interesting to see the way you made your snowboard compared to the way I made mine.

[@bretlemieux2489]

Love to see you make a lead acceleration device

[@tmac3913]

Love it!

[@herscheljackson2781]

Grace,you are amazing. I absolutely loved the video. I would give 5 thumbs up if I could.

[@ericcarabetta1161]

I had to check to see that this wasn't released on April 1st.

[@codyrudi3189]

ive always wanted to try this

[@nikobellic5655]

COFFEE SNOWBOARD?!

[@TheKingofRandom]

T'was an accident. Lost a lot of good coffee that day...

[@nikobellic5655]

NOOOOOOO!!!

[@charlesanderson179]

That was a hard project for you to do. But I did like the snowboard you made, great job.

[@wetod4794]

You know I haven't watched tkor In a long time but it doesn't feel the same

[@NinjaEsprit]

Have you thought about building a longboard? I was able to build a couple for my self one of which was made without any power tools. They both work great IMO.

[@dim1723]

Great project!

[@TheKingofRandom]

Glad you liked it!

[@cptn.obvious]

I don't know if it's just me but are the projects getting a bit sillier these days what happened to some of the big crazy projects I don't know just me still it was cool and great video

[@williamroberts2499]

Can you make a Bicycle with just stuff around your studio and left overs

[@HanaTheRussell]

How to make your own snowboard: Step one: Buy a snowboard to trace XDD

[@UtopssAKAPJ]

looks cool

Resin without respirator?

[@sensokaeru7070]

I loved you "women work, the status quo doesn't" shirt!

[@MrMegaPussyPlayer]

8:01 The fumes might not smell, but are toxic. You want to wear a respirator

[@dougbrown7150]

Wear disposable coveralls any time you mess with fiberglass, you'll be glad you did. BTW nice haircut 1/2 way through the project😉

[@Raldoux]

This is random but u got the same name as my dad so that's pretty cool

[@dougbrown7150]

@@Raldoux not that uncommon. 4 people on my socials have the same name😅

[@Raldoux]

@@dougbrown7150 it's cool cuz u got the first and last too tho but yeah both pretty common

[@SealFormulaMaster]

Buy vs Build? I like this concept. How about a Buy vs Build Bicycle?

[@Seeds-Of-The-Wayside]

Got a curl the ends or it will get stuck right in the snow

[@cohno7448]

But you didn’t test the snowboard! LOL

[@doubledarefan]

You should have glued together the top form section, like you did the bottom section, then plane and sand it smooth inside and out. Clamp by stacking a load of bricks on it.

[@justinw1765]

Titebond III is probably the best easily available wood glue out there. 4k psi, functionally waterproof, etc

[@scienceium5233]

I miss old tkor

[@parkerkaufman2754]

You should also try building a skateboard

[@ryanblystone5153]

Thank you

[@secretagb]

"Soakage" ..yeah that's called wetting the glass. Despite any negatives here, this is by far the TKOR projects I miss. Really doing stuff yourself from start to finish!!

[@hongkim3662]

yeah... I'll stick to buying

[@Tarex_]

Wtf? You had the planer and disc sander, with a bit more effort the fiberglass bubbles couldve been sanded down and a second layer on it and trimming the edges wouldve been less effort than that fugly laid vinyl

[@codyrosengren85]

Pls do a 3D printer build vs buy. That would be cool to see.

hello my friend 👏super video

[@Gsgirl1]

Next winter can you test it

[@robertsmith4529]

make a surfboard next

[@unlockeduk]

great job grace

[@GRT1865]

Well this project took so lo g she had to cut her hair while working on it. HAHAHA

[@jimmynewtron178]

Yall need to visit oobleck

[@juliusn194]

Can you guys make a super fluid?

[@pauldelay9738]

Why is she making this so difficult? She should have made the snowboard then cut out the shape after putting it in the press instead of cutting the shape then assemble.

[@victormanueloterojr.9273]

How do you think they did it with the skies at first? That's how it was done a long time ago.

[@hillybicks]

grace is such a frickin badass

[@Cutedge2]

You need to vacuum bag the fiberglass.

*Using a snowboard to make a snowboard*

[@josephmorales8275]

You could get a tree trunk and carve out a board

[@andrewmoore150]

Arnt you supposed to use layers of thin veneer glued together.? Not 1 big huge thick core

[@daxtonmillard8352]

So sad that snowboarding season is almost over

[@loiszentz5323]

Please do the 1 towel test on you washer okay please and thanks and make the film

[@SethJ-2525]

Cool video but it would have been nice of you to give credit to Signal Snowboards/ETT for giving you the idea and copying their process

[@crispybanana7711]

What happened to the real ktor

[@chargersgobolts2010]

Try to make a skateboard?!

[@DreddPirateRoberts]

Wouldn't 3/8" plywood be better than using pieces of fencing?

[@sac58999]

Interesting idea, but have you considered the rigidity of plywood? She’d have to park a car on it (a heavy one) to get it to shape correctly. I was thinking multiple thinner layers (basically making her own plywood), but maybe that’s too heavy in aggregate.

[@DreddPirateRoberts]

@@sac58999 Yes, I have, and 3/8" plywood is no more rigid than what she used there.

[@sac58999]

@@DreddPirateRoberts Hmm. Maybe it depends on the number of layers or something. But that's plywood I guess. Thanks for the input!

[@supdus]

next time watch Every third Thursday

[@pyroaddict5883]

Build a bow an arrow gun instead of buying a bow an arrow gun

[@dragonsuper6195]

Well, do more new, more complex things, I'm sure it would live up to the name much better

[@blaizbbs9548]

Anyone else see the notification for coffee core from scratch

[@greenboi7274]

Build a waterboard or water skis

[@lpz55]

How about a skateboard?

[@SBJCREATORS]

Really great

[@westonding8953]

Wow!

[@thomasodonnell2191]

Shame.... The King of Random has turned into the Queen of Fail.

[@redneckcody]

nice!

[@rbclima]

I'm not gonna lie. Very disappointed this time. One quick search you could find out that bend wouldn't work at all

[@shookings]

1) IDK what drama is happening on the TKOR set, but when I subbed, I didn't think I was subbing to The Grace Show. No offense Grace, but you work better as a team, and at this point in your KZbin career, you can't carry the show by yourself. 2) if what I've read about the main drama points is true, you can do WAY better. You're a scientist and a model. Get it together and find a new path that skips the drama.

[@nicholasshultz3878]

Build versus buy a car

[@KwonJi-won]

This is literally just a copy of the signal every third thursday episode

[@bonerici]

I would have gone with an all marine ply snow board make it a deep snow one leave the natural wood showing and of course used actual inserts and actual edges they are cheap and work better than what you ended up using. Considering your can get a used snowboard for $100 this definitely goes in the category only worth it for learning

[@2lanl148]

Bit late for snowboard season

[@TheKingofRandom]

You never know with Utah weather.

[@Gsgirl1]

Um Grace my might want to tie your hair back, you don't want to get it cot in the power tool

[@AdamSmith-so8iw]

How did you pay for all that wood that is like 100 dollars of Wood now thanks COVID

[@Honeypottr]

Uh Brighton is still open? What’s with this “It’s spring in UT” bs?
