I'm 32. I've been skateboarding for 20 years. I've been playing guitar for 18 years. I have a deep love for woodworking that gets deeper every day. For me, this build is an absolute dream. Honestly, your channel is an absolute dream. Thanks for the inspiration bro. Your channel is f*cking amazing dude! Seeing what you do in every video is so inspiring! THANK YOU!
I really enjoy your videos. I’ve been a cabinetmaker for fifty plus years and a woodworker longer than that. One thing I’ve learned in all that time is that regardless of the age of the Maker we can all learn something from each other. I like your format for recycling skateboards and I think you do a very masterful job of producing your videos. Thank you for sharing your passion with the rest of us. Well done!
I love everything about this. The shipping container workshop, the design of your work, the workflow, the editing and of course the final result. Great work!
Beautiful build my friend. Thanks for sharing the project. Your patience in your build process is amazing. Just seeing the work involved in preparing the wood for the project,
Your process always impresses me. The way you get such flawless results is just astounding. Obviously a lot of hard work went into perfecting it. And it seems like every project just gets better and better. This guitar is nothing short of beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Another great video by Woby Design! Your craftsmanship is extraordinary and you put a smile on my face with every video that you share! Thank you again for another enjoyable video! Have a great one! May you be blessed over and abundantly with success! Aloha!
Nice!!! Job well done. Funny how most "Plywood" guitars are cheaply made beginner models but this is so rad and nice! The best kind of plies of wood IMHO..
I've seen a lot of these "lets build a guitar out of random crap" videos, but I really like this one. The way you used the curves of the boards to flow around the pickups and bridge look really good. Nice work!
Awesome job! An idea to peel off the grip tape would be to bring a sort of oven into wich you could put stacks of boards to warm up and then take out once at time and easly peel off
Davide Zannella I wonder if a sort of oven may too much dry the fibres and adhesive of the whole boards which may promote cracks. I was thinking a iron
Put them out in the sun when you get them. They're all gonna need to be peeled eventually so why not do it when they arrive. That way you'll have a stack of prepped boards whatever the temperature
Livi 120 maybe I make it look too easy but this is really hard to do, my forearms can barely move without cramping... and you think I’m gonna sit there and do 100s? Who’s gonna edit this masterpiece?
@@WobyDesign another idea i came up with while watching you peeling is to attach a drill to the wood stick you use to peel, maybe you could build a steel version with an attachment for the drill welded on one side
I was thinking of that as well, and a low RPM high torque motor to do the turning, you could just feed the board into it and it would peel it off for you.
Great work man, bought a shirt a year or so ago purely to support what youre doing here man, awesome to see someone out there chasing there dreams! And to make art like this? AWESOME
not even thinking about the guitar, look at how small that shop is.! working on putting my shop back together and i keep worrying that im not going to have enough room in the space available, but seeing what you can do in like 3 square feet is really giving me hope.
WD: I really don't like guitar construction videos however I love watching your creative mind come up with new ideas to make things from skateboards! You truly have an original entertaining channel ! Im also a proud supporter of Grizzly tools in my shop! Thank you for sharing your talents!
Very cool. Having been building, modifying, and hot-rodding basses and guitars for 30+ years - that is some really nice work. What did you use for your RF shielding in the control cavity, and what brand of pickups did you use?
don't take this the wrong way, but you don't typically think of a woodworking channel to be a young guy in California! :) I really like your setup and gear, with just some concern with the finish process and the ventilation. I'm subscribed!
This video has confirmed one thing for me. A Les Paul with a head where all tuning machines are on one side looks so much better than the original 3-3 head.
I’m at stage 1 of doing something similar. I have an old electric guitar that needs reconditioning and I am going to shave 10mm off the face of the body. Make template (Perspex)for placement of holes and mountings. Then make skateboard top 10mm. Glue to cut down body and shape edge profiles to original. I have some of my sons old boards which makes it personal. I then ate a guitar case with glass lid ( skateboard frame)so it becomes a wall hanging. Use a Perspex scratch plate or maybe pearl.
Have you considered getting one of those old school heaters? I don’t know what they’re called but it’s a box with toaster-like wires that get red hot. Seems like it could make for a good little grip tape removal set up
I've heard of people that live in places that get cold sometimes have trouble with the grip no sticking when they set up a new deck. having doing no testing and have doubt in my head as i write this it may be a better alternative to freeze the adhesive on the grip. you could fit several decks into some like a deep freezer and if it works then you don't have to stand there all day to take off the grips one by one.
So it's more than a guitar made of broken skateboard , it's a guitar made of skateboard used by skateboarders imbued from their skill and fail , a part of untold history. I love that.
Piano next, please? Excellent work as always and like everyone else says - your channel should be way up in the 500+Ks. So versatile, such a great screen personality, top notch editing and style. Tons and tons of talent ready to be utilised at its best in each and every video you make ... and let's not forget about the dog (in earlier videos) - to bring it all together. Ah yeah - your sponsors know it, you know it and of course your fans know it ... keep at it at this level and it's going to happen. The best of luck to you and thanks for the great video - as always! Cheers! JM
So good. NEXT LEVEL patience just getting the wood to a manageable state. In awe of how compact & functional your space is too.
this channel is so underrated, nice editing and hella cool work! it's a crime to not be subscribed to this channel
I want to like this comment but i cant its on 69 likes

I have never subscribed to a single channel until today!! Best and most unique channel!!!!!
Nice work. Perfect colorful look for the hippy era 🤘
From trash to treasure! amazing craftsmanship.
Get a heat lamp from a pet store and set it up above the stack of skate so as to your peeling its heating up the next skate board
Beautiful build my friend. Thanks for sharing the project. Your patience in your build process is amazing. Just seeing the work involved in preparing the wood for the project,

Incredible accuracy! Can’t wait to be a woodworker with your levels of attention to detail.
Do you think a screen printing oven would work to speed up the grip tape removal?
Great editing yet again! And sweet diamond design using the layers of the boards. Well done!
Unreal! So many things you could do once you have the deck stock! Awesome!
Dope!! Everything from editing, to the craft to the music. Keep putting the work in!
Thank you I really appreciate it!
It just never gets old... Love the colors
There is still time to cut a thin veneer of your "skateboard glueing" and put it on the headstock ! A matching headstock would be mad !
Didtok Nan definately do it.
YES,YES,YES!!!!!!!!!
Or grip tape
Kyle Kampman that’s a great idea too.
I'd have use some griptape to keep the theme going
I am always impressed at how efficiently you use that small space. Sometimes it just looks bigger than it actually is.
Couldn't have picked a better guitar body design, awesome work bro.

So hyped someone did this
Darn, this was fun to watch! Way to go! Liked the music, editing and subject matter. Great video
Nice build, Ben

Great job. Nice looking guitar. You make woodworking look so easy. I hope to be there one day. Can’t wait for your next video.

one of my favorite channels. nice CNC upgrade.
Excellent work. Love your projects.
You are very creative and love what you're doing, you do it well and I love your creativity and channel!!!
Awesome build!
Beautiful results.
Love your work space

Thats a really nice headstock shape
Wow. A plywood guitar. How innovative.

Looks cool. WHat kind of wood do they use to make skateboards?
WOBY ROCKS!!
It's about damn time, hell yeah Woby Design!!!!

Man that might be one of the coolest things I've ever seen.. thinkin of trying fractal burning on an old body , wonder if its gonna work...
I like everything about that guitar, man. I wish I could do half of what you do with a quarter of your skill because you have a huge gift, dude!
I love the editing
Sweet looking guitar awesome job
Fun to watch. Amazing work. Where do you get all those broken skateboards?
WOBY! Heck-to-the-YEAH! Sweet editing and stellar project!

As my old wood shop teacher used to say, "THOSE FINGERS ARE GOING TO FLY!" You might want to use a push stick on that table saw.
I was thinking the same thing. Lol.
i love how that diamond shape came out almost dead center!
Да дружище. Хороша гитара. Посмотрел с огромным удовольствием 🔥✊
SICK!!!! What did the body end up weighing
Les paul body made of skateboards with a 6 in line headstock and fixed strat-style bridge. What a trip.
Hello ! do you sell some blanks for guitars (like yours) or Tops (thinner) to glue on blanks like LesPaul guitars.. ??
sick work man!
That’s badass! Thanks for sharing! Love your channel!
Thank you!
Beautiful guitar
Soooo awesome! Great video!
This is a lot better execution than other attempts ive seen. This actually looks like it was made from recycled boards rather than a bunch of planks
Great work man amazing
Would be great if you did it other body styles too for future videos!
I always wanted a guitar out of old skateboards cool to see someone do it.
Have you considered getting one of those old school heaters? I don’t know what they’re called but it’s a box with toaster-like wires that get red hot. Seems like it could make for a good little grip tape removal set up
Just amazing!
Nice job! Amazing work! 👏👏👏
So awesome man!
Love your work
We missed ya ben!
very cool build, love the concept of your channel. I bet people ask you all the time, but where do you get all the broken skateboards?
Nice editing
Dude, what's the track at 3:00 ? Thanks

Inteligentíssimo !!!
man, that skatewood infeed table is dope!!!
(also officially calling it skatewood)
The pink 3m pad is only a dust pad. You need the activated charcoal respirator cartridge for paint. Little tip from body tech/painter.
I can't believe you got the edge to test your guitar, that's pretty rad.
Very Nice build.
such a beautiful guitar!!!
So amazing 😍 i love it
one of the sickest guitars i have ever seen.
So it's more than a guitar made of broken skateboard , it's a guitar made of skateboard used by skateboarders imbued from their skill and fail , a part of untold history.
I love that.
You've just thought way further, liked that :)
Is that mallet on the wall behind you made from recycled skateboard as well?
Ware is the link for the guitar parts I see all the links for the tools and the music ( awesome music by the way) but no guitar link?
That's cool man love it
Great build and great video! Just wondering, how many skates did you use?

Excelente trabajo.
beautiful work.
could you have used a space heater to warm up the stack of boards so you'd spend less time with that heat gun or would it not have made a difference?
what sort of glue was used to get all the boards together on one block?
Great work!!!!
Great freaking job. That's awesome!!!
Suuuuper sick
I’m crazy about skateboard, i love guitar, i will be fan of this guitar ( sorry for my english i’m french)
ANTONIN' BIROLLEAU you have perfect English! :)
