Beautiful work. Can't say enough how cool that turned out. And I smiled a bit as I watched you work standing on boards, a broken tool and shavings all over a small place.
+Matthew Friedrichs Thanks Brotha! I'm pretty pumped about how it came out too! And yes, gotta work with what ya got!
The board is beautiful. wooden board is my favourite ones.
Love to see the old wood get reused. Great job!
The finished board is stunning to say the least. Your hard work and dedication certainly paid off! Well done!!
+woodstoney Thanks brotha!
Re- visited this video after a few years.
Still awsome!
Fun project! Looks really good. Thanks for sharing!
Not gonna lie the finished product is real nice.
I would have gone with a darker stain myself haha!
Really curious on the functionality though! Keep us posted
+Arthur Grande Thanks man, Yea i considered a darker stain but i just wanted it to look natural ya know.
And will do, I'm planing on making another board and then a test ride video over the summer
Bad ass work👍, long island, Maine, Alaska and Hawaii are the only States I haven't been to, wooden boards are so nice to look at I want to build one😀
that was an fantastically satisfying watch. great build
+Alexander Smith Thanks brotha! means alot
surreal craftsmanship!
This board is beautiful! Congratulations on an amazing job.
Dude awesome craftsmanship, you have Inspired me bro!! Thank you for sharing, just getting started myself! STOKED!
Holy shit that's awesome mate👏🏽👏🏽 can't wait for you to try it out!!
Thanks brotha. Yea I'm definitely going to make a test ride video over the summer
You're awesome, hugs from Brazil !
Thanks brotha haha
Amazing work!
i know I am kinda randomly asking but do anybody know a good site to watch new movies online ?
you're an amazing craftsman bro. If you haven't already you may want to look into making custom wooden boards. What you've done with some scrap pine is pretty amazing to say the least. Id be interested in seeing how it surfed and also what the final weight was. I was born and raised in San Diego and have surfed my whole life. I know people that would pay really good money for custom boards like this assuming they also preformed as good ss they looked. Awesome work, that thing would be epic to surf.
Thanks for the feed back bro, really appreciate it! I haven't surfed it yet cause the water temp is still to cold for my wet suits but I'm def going to make a test ride video of this board and my find in the other video I put up. The overall weight of the board is 7lbs. The original board was 5lbs so I only added a small amount to it
Very cool! Great job!
+Brian Gingerich Thanks brotha!
Perfect Wood surfboard!
great work mate
When you were gluing those strips onto the sides of the board, you could've use one long ratchet strap and wrapped it all the way around, like a picture frame clamp.
Damn, yea you are totally right haha
Amazing!! Im building a hollow core wood board, watching this is giving me some great ideas on how to do mine better!
+ole matson Thanks brotha. Good luck! a hollow board is on the list of future projects
Cool! I can't wait to see it!
i've seen people use old bicycle tires to clamp. It's inexpensive and works great and fast ! :-)
Howdy from Galveston! Interesting and well documented project. I will subscribe. Keep em coming!
Spring is around the corner, update us on how this rides and also the bamboo fins.
+gulfsurfco Even people from texas get to see my messy garge! Haha thanks for the feedback!
Man, I was following along with your Instagram photos of it. It turned out awesome!
+Bruce A. Ulrich Thanks brotha! Yea for sure, it was a long process but def worth it!
Awesome. I will try something like this some day.
+Lazy watchsmith Thanks! Go for it! Good Luck

I'm thinking more like paddle boar.
+Lazy watchsmith I made a paddle board a few years ago before i was making videos, You can use the same methods as this video if you can find enough foam. Or you can use the rib and spine method, might be a little harder but i think easier for a paddle/longboard.
+Long Island Woodworking Thanks dude. I look in to it.
+Lazy watchsmith Are you looking for paulownia wood for surfboards????
beautiful board!
Thanks brotha!
Dude this is insane! Like how the penguins made their boards in the movie "Surf's Up" haha ;)
How many hours of work do you think it took? (Not counting drying/curing times, just the time you worked on it)
+Ho Stevie! Thanks brotha, oh man i'm not too sure about how long it took. I worked on it mostly nights after work for about a month. If def took longer because there was alot of wait time for all the glue ups
awesome video!
awesome vid, thanks for sharing
Great looking surf board! Some of the process looks really tedious. When are we gonna see all these in action!?
+Make It Mazzeo Thanks brotha! Yea super tedious and a lot of waiting for the glue to dry, but def worth is in the end!
Haha, when the water warms up, I'll make a video testing the board and the fins out
legendary man sick board!
+Surfa Trey Lima Thanks brotha
Truly awesome!!!
great build!
+Goran Mardetko Thanks Brotha!
This board is so sick
Thank you!!
Inspirational stuff my man, great job!
+Gavin Keane Thanks brotha!
Wow that's crazy!!!
Hahahaha i love how you sanded with the quest griptape sheet
Dude that is so cool i love your work💪🏼
Keep going!
+Maximilian Kaluzynski Thanks Brotha! will do!
Mind blowing
incredible man!
Great job kid.
+Matt McCarthy Thank you!
LONG ISLAND STRONG
That's awesome!
nice craftsmanship.
+dahun76 Thank you!
Great work and very beautiful. I loved how your tool handle broke and you just kept going with it! Also the reclaimed wood is a big thumbs up! Also the fin was made from wood as well? From start to finish how many total days did it take for you to complete? Great inspiration thank you.
Thanks so much for the kind words, means alot. Yea the fin I made from birch ply wood. Uh its hard to say how long it took from start to finish, I have a regular 9-5 so i worked on it a little at a time when i got home from the office
awesome
good job man!!
I really enjoyed your video and it gave me some ideas that I would like to try. I really like the jelly fish that you did. What did you use to do the artwork? I did notice that you didn't have gloves on when doing the epoxy. I'm not sure what product you were using so it might be safe but if you do have a reaction you will will be out of the surfboard building business. I just wanted to share that with you and everyone. A serious reaction is not joke and is one of the hazards of our hobby/business.
That's really nice, great job, got quite the arm workout didn't you.---
+TheBeerbelly007 Thanks! haha yes!
are you going to make a video where we can see you surf it?
Amazing good looking board man!
Yea, I'm def going to put up a test ride video soon. Thanks alot brotha!
Super rad! How has the fin held up with those plugs because with my experience those things easily rip out?
Awesome!!!
Great job!!!
I'll try to do a wood board too. Do you think I can do it without a old surfboard?
Thanks dude! Means a lot. And yea you can build a spine and rib system to replace the inner foam. It might take a little more work but it's definitely doable
ok, thank you.
amazing, beautiful, incredible no word thanks a little french in long beach NY where are you ?
Thanks brotha! I'm on the North shore in huntington but i drive down to LB/rockaways/gilgo to surf
Roro b I think he's in long beach California
You're awesome
dudde awesome job
Thanks dude
love it. can you tell me what bits you used for the cove and round over pieces?
Wow!!!
hey man u should try making a hand plane for bodysurfing
Yea thatd be pretty cool
great video;) your rasp handle broke cause it was trying to alert that your block plane was about to fall check it out 4.50 to 4.58 did your block plane fall or did save it?
Haha thanks brotha, yea I think I saved it. No worries
Long Island Woodworking really great stuff I'm always amazed at how other people bend wood and you did it well but you did seem frustrated at how long it took you to clamp and weight for it to dry so if you're going to laminate wood allot to your surf boards you're going to have to build some simple bending gigs so your clamps don't slip off but i have never seen wood bending without clamps infact i noticed it takes alot of clamps
Yea for sure! At the time I wasn't thinking it would be that difficult to clamp the wood around the board but i guess for my next one, I'll spend som time and make a bending form. thank for the advise!
I was wondering why you didn't stick to the standard traditional wooden stick instead of a plastic one
+Gary King wooden stick? not too sure what you mean .
please don't tell me you ripped this beauty its a work of art. nice job man
this is probably my 6th time watching this
mrBattelharden haha thanks brotha
Long Island Woodworking how thick was the pine you used
not for the rails but for the base
It started out as 1/4 inch thick strips. After it was glued on the board I planed and sanded it, so it was prob ended up being a little bit thinner than that
Great video thanks for sharing! The board you made is beautiful. I've made a couple longboard skate decks and I love the hobby. I really don't know too much about how to use a lot of the tools you're using but I'd love to learn. What do you suggest I can do to learn about this stuff? Thanks!
Awesome, thanks for the kind words. I would suggest watching woodworking videos regardless of the project just to notice the different techniques and uses for some tools. but the best way of learning is to actually use them, start small with some basic tools and just get comfortable with those.
+Long Island Woodworking right on. I have some basic power tools so I can get started with those. thanks man and keep the projects coming!
Awesome! good luck with everything. Will do brotha
Rad!
Awesome dude I was wondering how much did it end up weighing?
+Jimmy Skipper The original board was about 5lbs and this board is now 7lbs. The pine weighs very little but compared to fiber glass its heavier. Over all its still super light for a wooden board
Awesome thanks!
Do you have any plans on making a 96 wooden surfboard and how much would you charge
No, I don't have any plans. Sorry I made the template myself for this one
How well did this float? I have an old shortboard. I'm thinking of trying this.
It floats as you would picture a 5'3 board would float haha. It doesn't float well but thats mainly because I'm a little too big for a 5'3 surfboard not from adding the wood. the wood added only 2 pounds give or take to the board.
Michael Volpe thanks for the quick reply. I have a 5'8" board with lots of heel dings. I'm just wondering if it'll work better if I turn it into a fish.
I'd say definitely go for it!
Very cool!! What did you use for the final gloss coat on the board?
+Tramp Box Guitars I used the two part fiberglass resin from the home depot. I used just the resin though, no fiberglass. I put two coats on to ensure the board was completely water tight. and sanded both coats to give it more of a matte finish
Awesome!! It turned out really nice looking. Stoked to hear about the ride report and how it holds up.
Thanks, Yea its driving me crazy not riding it yet!!
Ha!! I'll bet looks like a fun outline.
Looks great. Have you tried it out yet?
+Mitch Peacock - WOmadeOD Thanks brotha! No I haven't yet, the water temp is too cold for my wet suit. I'll probably make a test video of this board and my wooden fins over the summer.
+Mitch Peacock - WOmadeOD Are you looking for paulownia wood supplies???
what kind of epoxy did you use? do you know where I can buy it? also, what did you use to put the fin boxes in
I just used general polyester fiberglass resin epoxy from the Home Depot. the fin boxes were bought on amazon and they were just epoxied in as well.
thanks!
just finished mine up, doesn't look as good as yours but super stoked on how it came out. I used this video every step of the way. Thank you
how did u glue the nose on was the nose not round?
Gluing the nose on i just used regular wood glue and as clamps i used just duct tape, it worked well
Is that snow on the beach?
Yup! This is the tail end of the winter for us
Do you have a video of you riding it?
+gswmurderate No not yet, the water temp is way too cold right now and i dont have a thick enough wet suit. But, a test ride video will def be posted !
How much was that mini plainer?
I wanna say 300
what kind of glue did u use?
thank you :)
This time I'll use woodprix instructions to make it by myself.
awesome
