- Hope everyone is keeping safe and healthy! The next step in this snowboard build is making the base sheet. It's a critical step because it defines the shape of the board. Hope you enjoy it!

Hi, good job, I whish to know, how its the thikness of the base sheet (in milimeters), tanks and congrats!!!!!
Thanks so much for such a great series! This is exactly the information I was looking for.
Well done!
Base sheet, rough side up or down? Thanks
Rough side up! That's to help the epoxy grip
Hi, great videos 👍, you call it "base material" but what exactly is the material for the base. I want to get a transparent one to make some sort of design for a board i want to start building, but still dont know what or where to buy a base material. Cheers
The same material goes by a lot of different names but it's Ultra-high Molecular Weight Polyethylene, UHMWPE or some people use UHM for short, it also goes by the brand name P-tex. I got mine from snowboardmaterials.com
@@GoodRoads thanks, im actually trying to do something like the ones they do in Japan, more a Powsurf-snurf than a snowboard. I tried a snurf last winter and it was the same feeling i had when i started snowboarding as a kid
You probably know this but, for perfect symmetry, cut the template in half and use one side as a template to cut a copy with your router, then glue the two identical halves together. Thanks for doing this!
I didn't know that, makes perfect sense, thanks for the tip!
Uses a little bit mor resourches, but you could make half a template and route it to your full template, flip it and repeat
I did this exact thing on my re-build. I made a template where one side is used to route the base sheet and the other side is used for the sidewall channels
@@GoodRoads I'm just arrived at watching the rebuilt! So sad the end result for this one...
I'm not certain if you'll see this but I accidentally found your channel and this is now my favorite channel. Keep up the great work!
Wow! Thanks! There's more coming!
@@GoodRoads Awesome! I'm counting on it, I want to build my own!
You can do it!
Hi, when making the core, how did you decide on how many strips of wood to use? Cheers
I'm going to be honest, other than the two stringers I put absolutely no thought into this. More strips would make the core more dimensionally stable but it would also mean more glue lines and more opportunities to make a mistake. I'm sure there is a lot of good info on the tradeoffs out there though, I just haven't done that research.
thanks for making this video. I've lived in Colorado since 1982 and have been skiing & snowboarding all my life. My 1st snowboard was a Burton that looked similar to this. Then I had a bunch of Simms board (because I couldn't afford Burton once they got popular). I think I might try and make a longboard snowboard for powder but mainly for just cruising (knees don't let me jump these days). Thanks for the inspiration
If you pull the trigger on your build I would love to see how it comes out, keep me posted!
Thank you for the great videos! I've been trying to build my own boards as well . 2 questions though my friend, were did you get your bass material and what did you use for a top sheet ... if you used anything lol ... thanks again 🤙
I got the base from snowboardmaterials.com/ and I haven't finished the board yet but I'm going to be using some walnut veneer for a top sheet, probably with spar varnish as a finish
What did u use for you base sheet
UHMWPE sheet that I got from snowboardmaterials.com
what design program did you use to create your template print out?
I used Fusion 360 to get my sidecut radius, contact points, and waist dimensions right, exported to a PDF, then used Adobe Illustrator to design the nose and tail shapes
@@GoodRoads thanks. Ive been trying to get snoCAD-X to work for the past few days pulling my hair out
Dude wonderful, I am headed to the hardware store to get plywood to make a template today. Seriously appreciate your level of detail and care in the process
Yo! That's awesome! Heads up: don't follow my build to the letter, I make a lot of mistakes. Good luck with your build!
Wainting for the next step, always big support to your work from Italy!!
Thanks for another awesome vid! Looking forward to the next one as always. Cheers from Canada. :)
The process of smoothing you describe at around 3:30 is called “fairing” in the boat building world. Not sure, but I think the term would work for ski builders too🙂
