Parts list is in the description. I think it was close to $300

😊 thanks

Good to hear! I hope to see your progress.

It's just regular ⅜" plywood.

@@buildsomethingawesome osta.img-bcg.eu/item/13/1404/63351404.jpg There you go. 3 legged one and 4 legged one next to each other. 🙂👍

I roughly drew out the size of paddleboard on a piece of wood and took measurements from that. Once i had the width of the ribs I used a curved template to mark the top corners so that they were all the same curvature.

@@buildsomethingawesomeDo you have any footage on how you did that?

Next one i do will have plans.

Thank you!

Thats right. The epoxy is easier to build up a thick coat with. Sand the epoxy to 220. Spar urethane to give it the satin finish. Epoxy does yellow it a bit, but the satin finish seems to whiten it back a bit. Also the spar urethane has uv protection, which i hope will help keep the epoxy white.

Unfortunately i didn't make plans of this as i went. Sorry. I am planning on making another one and I'll include plans next time.

Nice! I bet that was a lot of fun!

Haha 😆 i have anxiety around bandsaws too. This however is a scroll saw (blade moves back and forth) , it's pretty harmless. I start the younger kids on it.

@@buildsomethingawesome ah that makes more sense!

I might have to make a sequel. There are more comments...

Sure! I put the links in the description. It's all stuff i found on aliexpress.

Yup, gorilla glue to fill any larger gaps in the wood.

Thanks for the concern, I'm always striving to do better.

Thanks for the tip, i didn't know that about gorilla glue. I used gorilla glue because it foams up and fills gaps a little better.

@@buildsomethingawesome spray the wood down with water first. It will expand more.

@@buildsomethingawesome gorilla glue will obtain all the water it needs to activate from the atmosphere. It just may take longer than had you dampened the wood prior to gluing. What plans did you use?

@@johnfurr8779 that makes sense. The gorilla glue seemed to work fine. As far as plans go, i just winged it on this one and hoped for the best. Aimed for a 10 ft board and whatever felt right.

Thanks, yeah i just built it without a plan. I watched some other youtubers building surfboards and such but that's about it. I hope you build one , it's a fun project.

@@buildsomethingawesome Great! I will make you know when I build that!

@@FlavioRicardoDesign sweet! I'd love to see what you build. 😃

@@FlavioRicardoDesign a couple tips and things i would change on the next one are this: make the back end a little wider, it has a small sweet spot for balance from the front to back. The second would be to put two air vents in, just in case water gets inside so you can pressurize the inside with one vent on an air hose and blow the water out through the second vent.

Thanks, first acoustic yes. The inlays on the soundhole were difficult on account of all the pointy pieces. Thanks for leaving a comment 🙂 👍

🙂 cheers 🍻

Hey Paul, i didn't use a pattern to build this. There is a quick part at the beginning that shows marking out the general shape.

@@buildsomethingawesome Maybe you could sell the pattern? For those of us not so artistically inclined.

Thanks, it sped things up a bit.😃

Thanks for liking my video! 🙂 I kept on wiping the drips on the resin until it stiffened up enough. Any runs were sanded down after. So far, getting a glossy smooth finish isn't my strong point.

Thank you! Yes, it draws a bit of attention at the lake. I'm proud of it. 😃

11:43. It's glued, i just didn't video every strip getting glued.😆 Sometimes people will use staples to hold them in place till the glue dries and then pull the staples. I might try that next time.

What do you specifically find annoying?

Thank you! 😊 Always nice to meet a fellow luthier.

@@buildsomethingawesome you guys that do acoustics amaze me. It’s a totally different animal. Fascinating to watch the process.

Glad you liked it. You're right, it has its differences. I tried making this acoustic easy to play, like the electric guitars I've made. But a lot of it comes down to stuff like needing a bigger string size and having more neck relief than electric.

@@buildsomethingawesome From what I've seen of acoustic builds, there are a number of tools and jigs specific to building them. The science of bracing, and resonance... There are difficulties to overcome that electrics just don't have to deal with. I admire acoustic builders, and the process is fascinating.

Yes, the jigs are what take a lot of the time on a first build for sure. A proper thickness sander would also go a long ways. I also wish you could just put a tune-omatic bridge on an acoustic to help with setup but it probably would dampen the sound.

Glad you liked the video Dale! I hope you give it a try. The tools help but the board can definitely be built with less (or more😆) tools than i used. It's a fun toy to take out on the lake and it's even better enjoying something you've made. Thanks for the comments. 👍

Thank you so much for subscribing! 👍

Right on.

🦾

Awesome! Thank you so much for the feedback 😊 I'm really glad you liked it! Thanks for the subscribe 👍

Thank you!

It tracks very nicely actually. Three fins are plenty, I've thought of removing one to make it easier to turn. With a little bit of paddle angle i can paddle straight without switching from side to side. I hope you give it a try! It's a great learning experience to build one. I'm planning to build another one sometime but a little shorter. Probably 8 or 9 ft instead of 10 ft.

@@buildsomethingawesome thanks so much for the reply! I’m looking for my first board and my husband found your video, he was thinking about getting the plans. You did a gorgeous job!

@@veggimite2 Awesome! I wish you guys the best of luck building one! The one thing i would have changed about mine would be to make the tail end a little wider.
