- A quick run-through on how I made this set of wooden climbing holds.
This was a commissioned build of 100 mirrored (50 pairs) for a 45° home climbing wall.

excellent holds and brilliant to use, Highly recommend thanks guys
Cheers :)
Really enjoyed this!
Great work! :)
much appreciated. Thanks
id be interested seeing a vid on how you make those pockets! been faffing around a bit at home trying to make one with a drill, not going great haha. i reckon you use the tableroute for the inside?
yep its a total faff and will take a full video to explain how I do them... its not the most refined process at the moment!
The best vídeo!
Thank you - more coming soon!
Love the vid! Cool to see different processes. What angle cut is that 36 seconds?
Cheers, glad you liked the video. More coming soon. I don't know the angle, I usually set up the saw to match the wood rather than the other way round. I think its called reference measuring but realistically its just the most simple way and fastest way... doesn't matter if the holds are a few mm off they're not cabinets or furniture and i can make the corrections so they are perfectly mirrored with the sanding process:)
Very cool, what grit of sandpaper did you go up to?
I usually go up to 180 on the backs of the holds and 120 of the face you grip so they still have some nice grain and texture. Sometimes I polish the backs after sanding all the way to 1000grit but always leave the edge you're going to hold at 100 or 120.
Nice video. Thanks! Btw, where do you get those silver/metal screw inserts?
Looks like a cup washer or countersunk washer available at your hardware store
These are the stamped ones from Bolt Base. The solid ones aren't as good for this application.
@@jamestaylor5759 Thanks. I've struggled finding something like this. I live Stateside.
Really interesting. Maybe convinced me I should not try to make my own!
Ah you should defiantly give it a go! Any questions just ask and I will try to help out :)
Que tipo de maderas trabajas? Muy buen contenido 👌🏻👌🏻
I used kiln dry hardwood on all my items. Mosly local wood like Ash or oak but this set used lotts of different hard wood. thanks
I don't have the space for a bandsaw, what tool would you use instead of this to cut down the initial lumber? Great video, thanks :) Also, do you always use the same bit on the router?
Hummm... so when I first started making holds I didn't have a band saw and made a lot of geometric shapes with a chop saw (mitre saw) that I picked up on marketplace for about £30 a table saw can do the same thing with a bit more faff and a higher price tag. That did the trick but its much harder to make nice curves and rounded shapes without hours of sanding. I think a chop saw is a good place to start along with either a belt or random orbit sander. As for the router, I use roundover bits of varying sizes to match the size of the hold, how incut its going to be and what angle board its going to be on. Lower angle walls need a bigger roundover to hold size ratio as the force is pulled down through the hold and not out and large roundover make it more comfortable to use/ less skin damage. On steeper walls the roundover can be smaller and the force is pulled out from the hold much more. This is especially the case when making high angle crimps for steep walls like in this set. Whiteside make a nice router bit set that covers most of the sizes you might need. It can be done without a router but getting nice crisp and consistent roundovers is hard to do by eye with a sander.
@@taylormadeholds280 Thanks for such a detailed response. I will try to gather all of the bits and start hacking at wood ;)
@@edwardoakley8659not sure if your still doing it but try a jigsaw cheap and easy
I may have skipped past it, just wondering what the little metal bits the screws sit on are called? I see a few wooden holds using them, just can't seem to find them anywhere.
Do you find out what they are called?
They look like threaded inserts without the thread 😂 they look like thicker washers just the fasteners have something to be seated in 👍🏼
No shipping to Aus? Devastated, these look amazing
I can ship to Aus no bother just not through my website. Email me Taylormadeholds@gmail.com and I can get you a quote for holds and shipping.
