quick top for sanding: drill the screw holds beforehand. attach a longer piece of wood to your workbench. drill the hold on top if that piece of wood and then you can sand it easily from all sides.
I'm planning to build a climbing wall over the summer with my summer job payment money. I've already made about 80 different holds in a span of a month or so. They have came up real nice. I have no power tools exept for a drill so it is always hell of a sanding. Keen on the project. Few images below. imgur.com/gallery/RfSvQOP
@@eelissallmen5432 Here in Oz you can get sanding attachments, but I've found the best for quick shaping is a flap disc on an angle grinder. That's basically a whole bunch of flaps of sandpaper on a flat disc, and I think you can get them to fit drills for a bit more.
Nice work man! Where did u got the inspiration to decide the shape of all of this? Im looking for help/guidance while building mine would u mind keeping in touch ? Cheers
Nice holds dude! Something I have learned from my own home wall holds is saving time is key for big batches. I use a drum rasp drill bit to remove a lot of the waste material fast and this tool took my hold making time from around an hour a piece to around 10 minutes. These rasps are drill bits that you can use in combination with any power drill (and preferably a vice/workbench). Definitely worth considering if you want to speed up the process, mine cost around 8 quid on Amazon. Drill mounted rasps come in a variety of shapes and are great for for fast curves, incut features, pockets, multi texture etc. A good 80 grit sand over will give a non polished finish. The hardest part for me has been finding decent scrap hardwood that doesn’t crack in the outdoor temperature variations. Great home vids man definitely relatable content, happy shaping!
Two great woodworking techniques: using the secret built in 90 degree measure that most saws have, and doing a couple of back pulls to create a guide before you start sawing. Great stuff. Clamp your wood when you're cutting and drilling. Understanding woodgrain is very important, grain perpendicular to the screws. Yours was bang on. Drill the 12mm holes with your spade bit first. They'll make pilot holes for your longer drill bit. You can add a bit of masking tape on your spade bit to make a visual depth gauge. Your hatchet could be sharper tho.
Just a heads up, for the deeper holds its worth countersinking the head of the bold further into the hold. As the further the head of the bolt is from the wall the more leverage is produced when you're holding onto the hold meaning it could quite easily rip out or damage your wall.
If you’ve got a long enough bit, drilling will be much less of a pain if you go through with a much smaller drill but first just to give the larger bit a line to follow. Makes life so much easier for me.
Just the wall (holds not included) how much money have you spent on material? Thanks for putting out the quarentine content fellas! Keeping me inspired!
What angle is your board at? I've been trying to research a lot to make my own eventually. Also what does the back of your board look like? I'm curious how the straight on drilling method is working for ya. Awesome video!!
So, no T-nuts then? Just screws into the ply? Seems like there'd be quite a lot of leverage on big pinches like the one you just made. It obviously works though. Great job. Thanks for continuing to upload climbing content throughout this lock-down period.
You used the exact traditional methods the ancient Aztecs used to make climbing holds for their walls!

Thanks for the tip! Will try that out!

Nice work !
Tape sandpaper to a bit on your cordless drill?
@@joshuasim9326 Yeah i have thought about that, but it is hard to get working smoothly.

So grateful to still have some form of climbing videos going on!
More climbing on your home walls!
I love these videos.
Nice to see holds being made primarily with manual tools!

This was enjoyable :) Love those holds that look promising but are deceivingly tricky!
hats off for hand-sawing, mate

Cheers for the tip! Will give it a go👌🏻
I can almost hear that crazy goat guy rolling his eyes at this in his little triangle office :p sick video though. Joe improves every video.

I feel so lucky to have a key to my local gym😂
you are lucky bro
Wow nice, I wish I had a key. Although I did make a home wall in my basement
Just the wall (holds not included) how much money have you spent on material? Thanks for putting out the quarentine content fellas! Keeping me inspired!
It was around £200!

Yes Joe!!! Hand tools are the way, so many vids of people with these fantastic power tools... But did they really craft it themselves 😂
Do you use a standard distance to drill your holes? Seems like that would make it easier to swap holds and not have lots of holes in the plywood
I love the viking guide to hold building =p
Looks similar to the one I put on my wall--I made a real basic version with a piece of 2x6 spruce.
damn,is that a granforsbrukes axe? pricy taste joe,but good video,ive been doing a little bit of this for a make shift hangboard
could you give us a tour of your wall?
Nice!
I dont like climbing on wood holds but I quite enjoyed this video
What shoes are those? :)
Joe should get into sandpaper ASMR
So far, nothnig besides nice big crimps have been easy to hold on my woody
very nice
What length of screw is going into that??
It’s a 100mm screw:):)
Here's the real question: where did Joe get those shorts?!?!?
Seriously, where are they from?
They’re Stan Ray shorts from FlatSpot👌🏻
Nice Hatchet (:
Lumberjack Bobat
what dimensions are your wall?
10 foot tall and 8 foot wide🤗
This video gives me wood.
still only has 1 crashpad
Yeah it’s pretty easy to miss😂
Is it just me, or are everyone's eyes spanked by those shorts?
Nice work! Check out my Facebook page DIY Climbing Holds.
Next week , watch paint drying😂
