I was literally talking to my dad like 3 weeks ago about this as an idea and he said he didn’t think it’d work too well, glad to see someone do it and do it well. I’m gonna have to try to build one now.
Id definitely go for a larger board with more pallets this is going to be a real challenge to surf. However its a fun project and an easy way to test out the chambered board process on budget. Worst case you end up with a cool wall hanger or turn it into a coffee table.
@@WaveWasters no yeah I was thinking of a staggered pattern like bricks to get a longer piece and after something a bit smaller to make sure it works how I want it, going with a longboard design
@@GoodRoads thank Chris! This one was more work to put together than I wanted, hopefully the next one is easier. I keep checking your Channel to see if theres new videos, hopefully I see one pop up soon😛
That intro transition was dope! You're a great RUclipsr Matt! Wow...that planer got a workout...you say "cheap"...that planer is worth it's weight in gold! As mentioned by others, your video production is A1. That...was a LOT of work my friend! Your dedication to a project is admirable. Lepage should have sponsored you for this project...lol! As with others, I am SO STOKED to see you surf this thing! Yeewww! 🤙 Cheers, John
Thanks John! First attempt at surfing this was a bust, I think its going to need the right conditions to surf it. Fun project either way and hopefully the next test goes better!
@@WaveWasters Awww...sorry to hear that...bummer! You can surf a door so you will get it, I'm sure! When you do, make sure there's a camera rolling...lol! Cheers, John
Beautiful work as always👌 So ive been watching some Japanese wood working stuff and seeing the long uniform shavings that come from their block planes i wondered if its possible to make a board from laminating those shavings. Just a wood laminated board i guess but maybe paper mache style, could even lightly mist a pile of wood shavings with something to form a rough blank. Anyway look forward to seeing how that pallet surfs😊
Thanks! I could see it working if you lamed it into a sheet, then used it with an internal frame. Maybe some form of resin infusion could work to make the sheet. Would be really cool board but a ton of work.
Oh my god that's so cool!!! You've done a fantastic job! I've been making hand planes and am just looking into whether pallet wood might work. Makes sense as they're easy to get hold of. Cheap, sustainable and environmentally friendly material. Might sandwich between veneer. Anyway. Love the fact you've proven it can work. Thanks so much! Hi from Cornwall UK!
Thanks! I'm still trying to test it out, I havn't had much for waves to work with. I have had a leak in it which lead to a small delam from the wood warping when drying from the leak. Better glue would have made it a non issue but I used what I had. Verdict is still out if this board works or not haha. If I glassed it or used epoxy/waterproof glue it. It would have been a better choice. Pallet wood is far from ideal but being free, and with how this turned out even with the small leak I think its worth trying a larger build. I love the idea of the sandwiching it between veneer, if you try it you will have to let me know how it goes!
@@callalilycollective Thanks! It was a lot of fun to make, using the pallet wood took a lot of the stress away. It may not surf well but it was a great way to test out the chambering process without spending much money.
@@asce2273 Thanks! I went back and forth on adding foam to it especially where I didn't glass it. In the end I decided to go without. Partly so if it leaks really bad I can dry it out quickly, and partly to minimize materials used. Maybe for the next one I'll try adding foam, I have lots of scraps I could use.
How would foam inside make it more buoyant? You're adding more mass to the same volume. Maybe it would help with thermal swelling and contracting to lower the loading on the glue joints. I could see it adding some structural support on deck loading for hollow frame and skin would board though.
@@callalilycollective Only makes it more buoyant when it eventually leaks, which is why I considered it😆. Other wise your just adding a little bit of weight/structural support. I could also be wrong though.
@@WaveWasters continuing to play devils advocate, won’t open cell foam increase the water retained once it does leak? Adding a vent and airing it out without foam would probably reduce water weight more.
But this is chambered wooden board, with this method of construction you usually won't add in any foam. What you mean probably is different type of construction when they shape a board out of EPS foam and then they glue on the wooden rails and vaccuum bag the wooden skin deck and bottom... if I am wrong I would be happy to be corrected. Cheers. Anyway Matt great build! Looking forward to watch some surfing vid of this little beast :)))))

Awesome project dude, the video production is off the charts
@@GoodRoads thank Chris! This one was more work to put together than I wanted, hopefully the next one is easier.

@@WaveWasters Taking my time getting back into it so I don't do another false-start, but I definitely want to get back to projects soon!
@@GoodRoads Awesome! take your time its a grind to stay consistent and you don't want to burn yourself out
That intro transition was dope! You're a great RUclipsr Matt!

Looks awesome! I hope you got to test it!
Thanks Laura! Hopefully there is some good waves soon to test it out.
Nice job. I plan to make a balsa board down the line. 🤙🏼
@@allsurf That would be awesome! Do you think you will make a video of the build?
@@WaveWasters Definately. I’m way behind on editing 2 board builds as I’ve been busy remodeling our home for a year but would definitely film that.
@@allsurf editing is always the slowest part, it's a lot more work then people realize. I'm stoked to see your builds when you post them!
@@WaveWasters Thanks. Got to put my film school and editing background to use although Final Cut Pro will take time to dial in.
@@allsurf I have the same background, I still miss the old final cut pro 😆

dope af!
Thanks Rob!
Nice, been waiting for this video. Always wanted to make a chambered board, and I love the single pallet challenge.
@@callalilycollective Thanks! It was a lot of fun to make, using the pallet wood took a lot of the stress away. It may not surf well but it was a great way to test out the chambering process without spending much money.
Go BROOO!
Yeeeww!
Looks great with the fins it in! Go for a surf!
Thank! I don't think I'll surf these fins in it, as I want to sell them. As soon as we get waves, it's been so flat lately haha.
This is nice. Just a suggestion that i saw from some wood board. you should have put some foam inside to make it more buoyant.
@@asce2273 Thanks! I went back and forth on adding foam to it especially where I didn't glass it. In the end I decided to go without. Partly so if it leaks really bad I can dry it out quickly, and partly to minimize materials used. Maybe for the next one I'll try adding foam, I have lots of scraps I could use.
