Thank you Miki. In trying not to get too preachy about it too. I can't expect everyone to get an industrial plastic shredder and start melting plastic... Although I wish it was as common as a mitre saw.
This was awesome! Love that tiny spokeshave! Might have to buy one of those. Liking that hunger mould also - we considered doing that for our DIY beam mould. Will definitely have to try that out. Nice one dude 🤙🏽♻️
Thanks for the inspiration! I have a SUP in progress and I want to make my own fin. The store bought ones mostly don't look right to me with a wooden board.
Nice. Did you buy a kit or you going to wing it? I still want to make my wooden surfboard but I need to figure out a clever way to put it together with the little space I have.

Hello my friend, I love recycled materials. That sounds good. Thank you for the video. Merry Christmas. Stay healthy and happy. May 2022 bring health and peace to the whole world. Big greetings. With all respect. Your friend Mehmet
Thanks! The recycled plastic is a versatile material. One of the difficult parts of working with recycled plastic is in mold making and getting away from subtractive processing like we do in woodworking. I need to spend a bit more time in design.
Good stuff man! Wish I was more of a surfer so I'd understand more what you mean when you say the fin feels different from a regular one. Awesome dude 🤙
2 questions: 1. You had your SketchUp model 3-D printed, why didn't you just use that as your fin- too light/weak? 2. When refining/foiling the shape of your recycled plastic fin, why didn't you just use sandpaper? Thanks!
For question 01. I don't have a 3d printer, but from my experience most 3d filaments are too weak. I think HDPE is barely strong enough so I started reinforcing with some stainless steel all thread. For question 2: I reuse asuch scraps as possible so shavings are easier to collect and reuse. Sandpaper will make the plastic into microscopic particles which I'm also trying to avoid breathing. Good questions and let me know if you have more questions
Nice work Bryce! After hearing you discuss at length your process it was fun to actually see it. Can’t wait to see where this one takes you.
Hopefully more fins but also some bowl blanks to turn.
I love your dedication to this cause. It really shows your passion for this work. Cheering you on! 👏👏👏👏😊

🙌🏽 I knew you would Bryce the crap out of whatever you make! Nice job that's a lot of work but really cool you're doing that :)
Thanks for donating a hard hat! I pretty much used up all the hard hats. So easy to accumulate this plastic waste too.
Good job Bryce. Your thought process is awesome to see. Way to take a problem and make it into something good.
I'm trying. Working to improve a little bit every week too.

Thank you, this means a lot coming from your channel!
Cool process. It looks really straightforward! It was great to see the fins in action.
Thanks Dave. It is pretty straight forward. Wearing a mask with vapor cartridges helps too though. I guess I should have put a disclaimer in there.
Nice job bryce. I like your little spokeshave. Makes me happy you found something that drives you. Love and respect dude ✊
Thanks Shawn! Im working on molds right now. I'm back down the jimmy diresta smooth on rabbit hole again.
Yo this is rad! Mad respect.
Thank you! What's a space boat?
@@wafflebeaver **shrugs** a boat that can soar into the heavens
I love this concept!!!
Thanks for checking it out. I can’t wait for you to test these fins out and break them!

Thank you for the kinds words. may 2022 be great for you as well along with maybe a cat!
@@wafflebeaver 😂
Very cool! Heard about you from the modern maker podcast, the fins turned out great!
Thanks for checking it out. I need to update the video since I've made more fins. Let me know if you want to try out a set.
Niche within a niche 😂 So awesome you can take landfill and turn it into something for one hobby using another hobby 🏄

Thank you Rob, I wish I was a better surfer to sell the idea of making fins from recycled plastic. Oh well, I have an excuse to surf more!
Nice. Also, TeamSeas ftw.
They accept doge as a donation. It was really easy too. I’m guessing you must have millions of doge haha.
@@wafflebeaver Hahah I donated with DOGE to TeamSeas already :). An no way!! I'm closer to 2,000 DOGE than 2,000,000 DOGE
Man that is super cool and it came out great!
Thanks Chad. My goal is to be an Etsy boy with recycled plastic
Amazing process Bryce! Came out great!
Thanks for checking it out. Would love to see you selling recycled plastic chess pieces
