    In this video I'm making two ping pong paddles to go with a custom ping pong table we're building. The paddles are made from mesquite and Texas pecan, with walnut burl handles.
    - Be on the lookout for an upcoming video showcasing how we built the ping pong table you see in this video!

    At least 3 times now, I make something at home that I wanted/needed. Then about 2 months later you post a video of the exact item that I made. Only difference is you make it a whole lot nicer than I do. I made some ping pong paddles sometime during spring break when I got bored at home. I didn't have wood enough to finish the handles so right now they are just flat boards in the shape of a paddle, but they still work fine.

    This is so awesome, you have inspired me to woodwork, and it has become a passion. Out of curiosity, how do you keep your chisels so sharp. I have a grinder but it doesn’t seem to get the anywhere near as sharp as yours. Maybe I am holding them at an incorrect angle?

    • @fisherofmen3336
      @fisherofmen3336 5 років тому

      I think the trick is to sand them with sandpaper using something like 100 and working your way up to like 7 or 8 thousand. The grinder is gonna be pretty rough and leave those little imperfections that take away from the sharpness.

    Have you ever tried to work with old skateboards? They usually have really neat colored plys put together. If you go to a skateshop and ask if they have some used decks they will probably give you some for free. The skateshop i worked at had a huge stack of probably 100 old decks in the back room. We gave some to a guy that makes weird art. He made some super sick frames out of the old decks.
