Building a Snowboard - Part 6: Two Ways to Add Sidewalls

- In this video I'm going to demo two different techniques for making snowboard sidewalls from urethane resin and attaching them to your core. I had some help from the building community with this one so thank you! Hope you enjoy the vid.

Chris i stumbled on your channel and like the content you are doing....you are dope!
Thanks dude!
Great!!! We want more and more!!!
Dude. Thank you!
I can't wait for the next video, what you teach was very clear and structured, i like it!!
Thanks! I hit a couple snags with profiling the core, but I'm hoping to have it worked out soon
Stoked to see the finished product
want to more. great job. great comments, veyr inspirational.
Thanks dude! I should be picking up this project again later this fall
@@GoodRoads i total think the directional board from these big brand are over priced. I have to do it myself to get something cool out without broken my bankroll.
Hey man. Greetings from the west coast of Scotland. Lovin this series as I’m starting to make my own board. You think there is some way of not using additional sidewalls? I’m all about using locally sourced timber and would love to be able to see the edges of the core as the sidewall. Obviously it’s got to be flexible and waterproof but wonder if there is some way of treating the wood to create a sidewall
People make boards with hardwood sidewalls pretty often. They're not as durable as plastics or urethane but they do the trick. Something flexible with closed grain will give you the best results
Really good info channel you have!
Thank you for showing us all your tips and tricks. Cant wait to see your finish product.
Thanks! I should be getting back to this project in the next couple weeks
Omg! We cant barely wait.
Nice video, clear and instructional. I would imagine that you want to completely encapsulate the wood in the core from the elements. Am I correct that the wood that forms the bottom of your channel will be removed when you profile the bottom?
Exactly, that will get planed off when I profile the core
I wish urethane side walls were a thing when I was building snowboards years ago looks so much easier then working with the ABS ones.
Did the polyurethane block bond with the epoxy glue?
Do you mean to the core? It bonded okay but I found it to be a bit brittle. I used hot glue elsewhere and surprisingly it worked a lot better. Heck of a lot easier too.
nice work! could you please link the PU-Materials you are using...? thanks!
Sure thing! Added them to the description
The background music goes hard
Nice work on the side walls. I just curious what happens if we don’t do the side walls on a snowboard？it’s gonna be easier to break apart the core and edge?
The sidewalls are there to absorb shock and impact but you can definitely make a board without them. If you look up "snowboard cap construction" you can see a method where the glass cloth and top sheet wrap around the core down to the edges. It's less impact resistant, but snowboards were made this way for years. Many skis still are as it's a lighter construction method.
@@GoodRoadsthank you for your knowledgeable response. ill keep following your next video.
Hurry up make more videos!!
But there's no snow! Hahaha, I'll be getting back to this project over the next month or so. It's coming! Stay tuned!
Hi, do you think the urethane sidewalls are necessary for a powder board? From what I’ve read, urethane has great dampening properties so would be great for boards that see a lot of veriable terrain and hard pack, but if it’s mainly powder you’ll be using the board in will it be that effective? Anyway, I’m enjoying watching these videos and look forward to the next instalment. Cheers
I'm in the northeast and our conditions are really variable. Sometimes even on a powder day there will be ice patches, and I'd like to be able to take this board out more frequently than the occasional dump, even if it's just for fun. Between that and wanting to get some all-around building experience, I wanted to tackle sidewalls in this build. I'm still learning the ropes, you know?
For a board that's going to live mostly in deep powder? If you don't have to worry about rocks or trees? Then yeah, they're probably not needed as much and it might be smart to go for something lighter.
Thanks man! Glad you like the vids!
Awesome!
Hows the progress??
I hit some snags over the summer, but I'll be getting back to this build in the next couple weeks.
I'm a bit late then on the previous videos but i gotta say, this is so sick. Combining two methods to work around a problem? Sign me up. Also the sidewall colors came out super nice.
But but but i have to complain a bit, you still haven't explained the rationale behind the camber profile and shape! at least not in the video. Cant wait for the next episode
Thanks homes! There's a good reason I haven't talked about the camber/rocker so far: I haven't even designed it yet. There will be a whole video about that when I get there!
What router bit did you use for the channels?
It's just a 3/4" straight bit, nothing special
@@GoodRoads thanks man.
Bro where is the last video 😫😫
I put the project on pause over the summer so that I will have some snow as soon as the board is finished. I should be picking this build back up in the next month or so. I want it done too!
