How to Make a Wooden Surfboard #10: Installing Vent and Leash Plugs

In this video I install the vent and leash plugs into the chambered wooden surfboard. Venting a wooden surfboard is very important since there is one large empty air chamber that will expand when the air heats up, that air has to go somewhere, the vent plug allows for this.
The leash plug is so you can attach a leash to the surfboard :)
The previous video I showed how to hotcoat a surfboard. So if you are just tuning in check out the other videos in this build series, linked below.
Here is a sample of a vent, looks like there are one that you don't need to machine off the flange, do a search for "Milvent":

I've just watched this entire series. It is bloody excellent. It has made me realise that I need to get much better tooled up and organised before beginning. Thanks so much for passing on this great information Andrew.

Just finished my board today... and it floats! Your videos were a great help I learned so much. Thank you!

[@dallaskolotylo9064]

Very cool man, board is looking fantastic!

[@angeloalves9039]

Cant wait to see her in the water
keep it up with nice videos as always

[@milventtechnology5216]

I search milvent and found it. Milvent can make the base as yours and ship together with vent . So I assemble it easily

[@amff7542]

Cool... Thanks man!

[@sauceboss9313]

[@jimmykillin7268]
