Great channel, keep up the good work! I look forward to your DIY projects. I've been custom-shaping my own decks from 10x33 Moose blanks with a rasp file and hand sander because no one makes a vert deck for my Size 12 feet and 34" legs and..it's huge fun. ALL my friends envy my 'spray paint jobs'! lol I've gotten good with an X Acto knife and stencils, as well as undercoating, spraying and wet sanding, 'Candy' paint. 😎
Awesome 👍🏽👍🏻 I've some old stuff to make a router table, like your's but in time will do, I got one new router will get another but smaller but it will be for edging only , and I don't really have a place to put it so the small one will just be movable at this stage 😀👍🏽
Love the videos! One thing I am not sure I have ever seen mentioned (and please correct me if I'm wrong!) Is how a board is sealed after being pressed, trimmed, shaped and routed!
That is definitely a legit way to go. I'm going to stick with something printed for now just because it would be cool to get a direct relationship between what I design on the computer and what comes out at the end, but I think I may end up going hand made anyway. Just testing stuff out!
I think after this experiment that my goal is to not need the backing board at all. Still wrapping my head around how that might work but I've got a couple ideas
The whole board building hobby is struggling with this right now. We use a top-bearing 3" x 0.75" flush cut bit but nowhere has them in stock right now. There are a couple places where you can scrounge up a 2.5" tall one if you're pressing more low profile decks but if you find the 3" ones anywhere let me know!
It's actually a little bit of both. I'd love to get a CNC at some point so I can do more automated production, but for now I want to use the machines I've got and a 3D printer is probably the most accessible CAM option on the market.
@@GoodRoads I guess at the juncture of having a 3d printer that is true. I feel like they'd last longer in aluminum but I've never even touched anything 3d printed so I don't know. I always wondered what effect radial or lateral centrifugal force might have on urathane wheels.
Hey! I was looking into starting mountain boarding but there are so many options in so many different price ranges to chose from, do you have any suggestions for a good starter board that's not too expensive?
That could work but would have much less support. Im not sure what would be a better option, maybe a taller router bit (which would also be pretty sketch)?
Using a deck as a template totally works. I'm hoping to build myself a template with a flat bottom so I don't have to tip the nose and tail up as I'm routing. It'll make manufacturing that much easier
good improvement chris!! faster and more accurate
Thanks for continuing to take us with you. Awesome work.
Thanks dude!

I posted on the longboardbuilding subreddit. Thank you for the quality videos you put out and goodluck to your future shop
Thanks for sharing the content around, I appreciate it!
The rotation arrows are a very good idea.
Even with them in place I still mess it up.
This channels so good 👍 great video man

Nice editing bro
Thanks homes!

Great usage of a 3D printer!
Great video Chris! Give flat particle board templates a try. Quick, cheap, easy and the router bit will cut the entire board.

Love the design, if you make more I'll buy one
Hoping to make quite a few of these decks
You should add locating pins on the side of the template to ease up the alignment when screwing into the backing board !

What Router Bits do you use? Thanks!

By the way, will it work well with 3’´? I mean duct collector ?
we use a cnc router to cut out skateboards in out engineering class you could try something like that-

His goal is to make boards as inexpensively as possible, show his methods, and help others who cannot afford equipment like CNC machines.

What if you made aluminum castings of the 3d printed template?
Hah! You could do that but it would totally be overkill, fun idea though

I like the MBS core 94 as a good intermediate board
Is that a mountainboard sized longboard? Screw placements are under your feet but you have a nose and tail. Giant skateboard?
Just a slightly-larger than normal skateboard for pool riding and cruising. 33" long with a 15" wheelbase
Just flip the deck over and mount it to the plywood template? Then its as thin as possible for the router. No need for the 3d printed jig
That could work but would have much less support. Im not sure what would be a better option, maybe a taller router bit (which would also be pretty sketch)?
