honestly you were the first creator that inspired me to attempt wood working and thankfully for me i was a plumber already so i had some basic tools and was able to start recycling my old board with that said id love to see you do a video where you only used very basic tools drill,circular saw, hand tools ect and see how far you can push it
While I enjoy the videos where it's purely you building and no talking, I always find myself waiting for "Okay, SO!" and the inevitable joyful, "WOOOOOOO!!" I love your vids, Ben, keep it up, stay healthy, stay encouraged, you're doing some cool stuff that's worthwhile. JB 😁
@@michaelwillson6847 Ha! I saw that too. Some people just want to be heard whether they have something kind to contribute or not. Oh well. To me "ok so" is Ben's signature, and I hope he doesn't lose sleep over negativity.
@@singJJBplay doubt it seems to much of decent bloke. Yea people always wanna stick there opinion in. A know we're they can stick it. Way a see it don't like it don't watch and certainly don't be keyboard warrior 😕🏴👍
I just wish the audio on the "wooo"s wasn't so compressed now. I think it's because he's wearing a lavalier mic these days? The "wooos" on the older videos got me so hyped 😅 But now they just sound like they are dubbed in. Yes I'm here for the woodworking stuff too 😤
I can't believe it's been 7 years already, holy crap! I've been following since the very beginning and it's always great to see a new project no matter how simplistic or complex it is. I just dig your work man!
Thank you for walking us through the milling and building process. Knowing about using the table saw and how you get all the cuts is good. Understanding how you work through a process is very helpful in milling skateboards and any other woodworking projects.
Amazing and simple and looks so good. What I learned is that if you miss a cut, its a lot of additional work to replace that piece. That is quite a lot of prep work just to be able to start building.
Gripmaster 6000 thoughts. You've already got the temperature dialled in, hot enough to melt the glue but not burn anything. What you need is the same temperature, but more heat. You can achieve that by just making a slightly longer tunnel. The catch with more heat is that you'll need to speed up the wheel to push the boards through faster. But, as the wheel is running a little fast already, that's two problems that fix each other.
It's cool seeing projects using the flat side of boards. Granted it's not an aesthetic you would want for a kitchen or office table, but makes for some interesting decorative pieces.
Woby is for the people. Walking it through nice and slow for the people in the back. Smooth move picking a project where you didn't have to break out the flap disk sander. 😁 Been following since nearly the beginning and have learned a lot and been entertained the whole time. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and your art.
To improve the degripper contraption 5000, make it longer and add a single preheat bar. See if it helps and then likely adjust the heat. That’s my best guess
Improvements for the de-gripper. Take a look at conveyor dryers for T Shirts. Not so much to buy, but the design. There are plans for DIY ones, and I think that would be perfect for your needs. Good video. By the way. The heating elements do create radiation, but not anything that is harmful.
IMHO the only thing to improve for the degripper 5000 is all the live wires you have outside, which can be quite dangerous if you/someone touche them while in operation.
You should look into the KM Tools Benchtop Router Table for 3X3 Custom Trim Router Jig as an alternative to clamping the cordless router upside down with a vise... Doesn't take up much space, it's less sketchy and it's already compatible with your Dewalt router... Would be cool to see that in your shop... Love you designs and videos... You inspire me to be creative and think outside the box
One technique you did not elaborate on was when you were crosscutting the strips you cut in halfway flipped it over and cut the rest in order to prevent blowout. Pretty important detail.
I follow you for a few years now and i can say yours WOW lift me up any time The gripper 5000 is safe but hide the wires is always a good idea, avoid accidents. Maybe if it was just a small gap to feed the board could heat more
@Woby Design @ time 20" in if you flip pieces on to their faces after the first cut you should be able to cut the slight angle off the first side with out have to move the saw and not loose 1/4"
Thank you! you don't realize it but you gave me an idea for a box in my shop... and I have a LOT of scrap strips of plywood (instead of skateboards)--I really hate discarding usable materials... somebody once said, "I'll save that I may need it someday" 🤣
A lot of people have suggested steaming the boards to make them flat. I don't think that it would work because unlike solid wood they are laminated together with glue and it would delaminate them.
Have you considered a significantly larger hydraulic press to completely flatten them while covered in epoxy? This would allow for resawwing into long same color strips.
Dude Wicked video love the crate. A just need find some boards to be able do it with. Btw you should definitely do a video with just a jigsaw and grip tape you said can be done we challenge you to do it 😮😮👍🏴
Seems like an easier fix to slow the de-gripper would be to change the size of the dowel that is being driven. I’m not sure if you would make it bigger or smaller, but suspicion it would need to be bigger. Raising it up, maybe adding an infeed and outfeed pair of dowels would lessen the distance the heat had to travel and thus make it functionally hotter. But that’s all musings from someone who hasn’t actually tried it out! :)
If he makes the dowel bigger though, then he'd probably have to peel off more of the grip tape by hand in the beginning.. and then it might not be worth it due to the extra effort in the beginning. I'm guessing the size he uses is a good middle ground, since he was peeling griptapes before he ever made it.
The heater is electrically very unsafe. Cover all the exposed terminals. One dayyou could accidentally touch it and it has the potential to be fatal. 10 mins to make a box/covers might save your life.
Anything that radiates something is releasing "radiation", but you need to be worried about "ionizing radiation", those lamps dont release ionizing radiation.
I've collected 11 boards so far to build myself a desk. Used the tails for espresso tools though and they turned out great!
What kind of espresso tools? Sounds cool
@@thaddeusecheverria7733so far just wdt tools but making a portafilter handle next

when you make a second heater, put it in line with the first one, so it goes right from one throught the second :)

Wish I could "like" it twice for the "WOO" at the beginning and end!
Someone in the comments was moaning about the ok so.... 😅😅

Yes, the heating lamps are perfectly safe, regarding radiation. Electrical safety might be a different thing, but you didn’t ask about I believe 😜

Look into screen printing conveyor dryers, they make tabletop one I bet would be good for you
Very cool great simple idea. Thanks for sharing

If you want the spindle to run slower under the heater, you just need a bigger gear on the outside of the spindle.

I would make the peeler longer, with a 2nd roller and heater

Can you make your heater double wide with two rollers and two heating elements
Love your video's!
Amazing video.
Large diameter handle and the smaller rolling part will give more mechanical advantage for rolling.
This is like watching a chef video on how to debone a chicken. Good stuff!
Have you tried steaming the boards back flat? If so, how did that go?

Maybe miter the corners?
YES PLEASE DO THAT IN A VIDEO I WANT TO SEE IT!!!!!
yes please do that video!!! whaoooooo
Now I just want to see the challenge of the disk holder with a jigsaw.
Mee too!
New heater should be flipped upside fown. Heater ubder the board to capture that tising heat not just the radiated heat.
I’d love to see you take it to the next level and finger joint the corners.
What psi do you use for the nail gun? Curious as I don’t wanna crack or overshoot the nails in
Dude Wicked video love the crate. A just need find some boards to be able do it with. Btw you should definitely do a video with just a jigsaw and grip tape you said can be done we challenge you to do it 😮😮👍🏴

what was the first thing you made using old boards, before you started your youtube channel?
Gotta get a motor with a speed controller and add it to that. Slow it to the speed you want.
Yes to the jigsaw only challenge
I love it when you whoooow
YES! Do a jigsaw video! That's all I have to work with haha
Yes jigsaw video!

Only jigsaw challenge confirmed 👍👍.
Also, could you please not send me any skateboard? ;)
Woby have you ever thought about making something out of the grip tape you throw away maybe a grip table epoxy table or chair or skateboard
OK! SO! 😂😇
Way too many "ok so"'s up in this joint y0
Ok I’ll add more next video.
@@WobyDesign I soak up the "Ok SO" like they're sunlight. Keep shining. 😁
ok so
OK, SO.
