Omg the measuring tape will be hot in this one

Wow this was so bound to happen, everything Ben has done until now has led to this moment! 🔶

Hearing you two talk about skateboard shapes and dimensions actually cheered me up today. Thanks man this was great

Always love hearing from The Professor of skateboarding! ♥

I feel like this is Bens destiny; to become a board manufacturer.

This blew my tiny mind! I had no clue how much individual hand work went into each board. Thanks so much for the inside tour!

I have literally said to myself years ago “getting these 2 guys in the same room geeking over boards neeeeeds to happen” I literally think of professor Schmitt when ever Ben gives in-depth reviews on decks.

This is looking like it's going to be a Mr. Ben De Long-Cock classic

The crossover episode we all wanted.

What a wholesome moment this is for the skate community.🥰

I remember when Schmitt Stix was its own company before being bought out by Vision in the late 80's or early 90's. Paul is a legend!

Ben is the first skater I've seen who can keep up with the Professor. Paul is always having to dumb himself down for skateboarders. Ben's carpentry background plus a life long love of skateboarding makes for a great conversation.

professor schmitt is truly a legend in my opinion he is not talked about enough in the skating industry,it would be so great to have him do interviews if he would be down for that with tony hawks and maybe the nine club and other podcasts/skateboard youtubers because he has sooo much knowledge about boards,tricks etc!

great seeing the elderly get along and reminisce about the past

as a diehard PS Stix enjoyer im so looking forward to this

This was super rad! Dude, I’d pay money to see more factory and iconic spot tours! Btw, the crispy sound when he places a board on top of another is so satisfying. I might go shop for a 14 inch WB 8.125 board with a big nose from PS now.

This is great love the videos you do explaining the technical parts of skateboarding and this video of what goes into building a deck is the greatest

That's awesome he comes from a long line of engineers! One of the most important ppl in skate history 💯 we are so damn lucky to have the Professor pushing the boundaries of skate decks!!!! I love his nine club episode that was my first time hearing about who he is .....

So rad to see this process! Great video! 👍

Love it, two of my favorites, a meeting of the minds! Thanks for the tour, Paul is such a great guy.

So sick! Ben and the prof, so cool to see the processes!

what an amazing video man this was a real treat to see today

Duuuuude someone needs to sit down and record him talking about his family history!

When I saw that you posted this video, my heart leaped. What a treat! Thanks Ben!

This was a great video. Thanks so much for making it.

This was great! I love seeing behind the scenes stuff in the skate world.

Mad props for this type content Ben! I'm 38 and been skating with few breaks between since 97ish. I m a residential electrician/carpenter by trade and it's just nice learning about these sorta things and being well informed these days. At one point in my younger days I probably wouldn't even have cared to know but now I do and I appreciate you making it accessible.

Super stoked for you to be able to do this! So cool

This was great! Loved seeing the inside of this place, was always curious!

seeing all these guys working on the board makes me appreciate my decks so much more. all the work that is put into a deck is crazy!

this is so cool that they went into detail about how the plys come together, glue and everything.

Madness on madness and so much awesome!!! Congrats on the sweet video.. So jealous!!

thx for sharing all this knowledge Professor!

What an absolute treat. Love how there's carpentry knowledge mixed into the manufacturing explanations. Thank you!

A legend in the industry. Great video.

I did set an alarm to watch this last night. Even though I fell asleep, I watched it first thing this morning. Awesome video Ben!

Damn, love this Ben. It's a side of skateboarding that I've never seen before. Thanks for the tour!

Thanks Paul! This guy always willing to share.

Saved this for a rainy day and this definitely did not disappoint!

This was excellent. Shared everywhere!

This was a great convo ... Thanks Ben and P Stix ! God bless

Really enjoyed this. I started pressing and shaping boards about a year ago. This video gave me a couple good ideas that will help.

Great Video as usual, but the collaboration this time is priceless. You too are really on the same wavelength.

Heck yeah Ben!!! Loooooooved this!!! 🙌🏽❤️

Dude that was awsome! Nice watch! Hope to see more! Hope you guys can get together and make your board that fits you perfectly!

If you ever think you've invented a flip trick, be sure to check Julio De La Cruz's video parts from the early 90s, he probably already did it haha. Dude was a wizard, happy to see he's still in the industry.

Man, a dream come true i'm sure!! One of my favorite decks way back was a Schmitt Stix Chris Miller with the dog graphic....this vid brought a smile to my face, thanks Ben!!

I love crossovers, Vancouver Carpenter with Professor Schmitt!

Congratz Ben on getting to meet the professor! So cool.

You just satisfied my construction/drywall and skate nerdiness, all at the same time! 🤤🤤🤤

Awesome video. 💯🙏💙 Thanks for sharing with us ben.

best vid yet! need more flat boards on the market, grew up skating those back in the day!

Ben, this content is golden, again! I'm currently riding an OG shape Girl (93 til), I only started in 2001 so I can't /won't compare, but I also like the more round nose for nollie feel and grinds/slides catch.

Very interesting . Learned some new things . Good Job ☝️👍

Too cool, never really thought about how the concaves give it more strength. Cool place, thanks for sharing. Love the Professor! 👨‍🏫💕👍

Man, what an awesome video! Thank you

Such a great video with insightful knowledge to the creation of a skateboard. Love it. So much work goes into one deck. Never gonna complain about standard deck prices ever again 🤓

The word you're looking for with the drill bit is the flute. 👍

Great one! The Professor and you Ben talking about deck. That feed my nerdy side ! I really really appreciate all the details, especially when you talk about the Girl shape of the 90. Next episode, the Venture trucks shop!🙌🏼👌🏻

Yeess, more nerding out about boards, Whoa you're going to hit 100K soon 🎉 congrats, Ben!

My ps stix quasi board just kickflips so nicely. Glad we get to see a Ben and Professor collab.

Great stuff. These 2 guys need a weekly podcast.

Ben, we need a longer version of this tour..and Julio De La Cruz and Armando Barajas part in 1281 & Da Deal Is Dead is still my favorite til this day

So happy for you Ben!

I loved this, so cool to have you who have given us so much insight into the nerdery of skateboards talking to the professor himself in his own shop! It´s also the first time I have seen an interview with Paul where the interviewer alsohas so deep insight into the mechanics and geometry of a skateboard. It made for a very joyful watch

Wow that was so amazing to watch! You must have had a blast going through the factory. I would absolutely love to get a tour from the professor and get some boards made.

Such a good video! Would love to see a testing video with Ben skating and the Feedback of the Prof. Schmitt what he can changes.

Really cool video.and Julio in it to I use to skate with him back in the day remember causing around in Armando's Cadillac

I met Julio back in the day when he still rode for NH skateboards.He has always been down for skateboarding.

nothing i love more than nerding out over board shapes and all that.

I think I bought that Karsten Kleppan board the same day you put this video out. Best board i've had in a while 10/10

Awesome video, it would be really cool to do a bit more of a deep dive with Paul or other industry people/pros about what pros ride in terms of special shapes!

Great video and no one better to do it than our hallowed father of skateboarding, Ben D!!!

This is seriously cool Ben!

Best episode of how it’s made 🔥

This is cool, thanks for this interview, Ben and Paul!

That was so fascinating

Just bought a Zack May Snack model. Was riding FA/Hockey boards for looking forward to trying something new. Thanks for all the incredible insight!

legacy and history right there ! cool video.

When Ben is talking about the FA board you can see the doctors eyes behind he shades darting around trying to id the laser print and get a head start on the process that’s about to go down. Thanks Ben, Paul & Julio

very cool conversations OBVIOUSLY!!

Oh boy i clicked on that thumbnail so fast, the perfect intersection of my skate/engineering/graphic design passions

Another great video with not one but two skate legends: good to see Julio de la Cruz is still working in skateboarding. If you don't know who this is, check out his New Deal parts from the big pants, small wheels era - nearly every trick was an NBD at the time.

Learned alot from professor schmitt's shop tour . One thing i took away from this video is that the dog town ozzy Osbourne deck i just bought was made in his shop . The laser etched engraving he pointed out in his process says ps stix with model #s & that it's # 40 in circulation . Big respect to professor Schmitt & crew . Thank you .

I just learned so much about making decks it's awesome 😎

Really cool and educational video Ben!

De la Cruz , New Deal , Neighborhood, Legend

this is so rad! love this video

Really interesting listening to these two legends :-)

Ben, bring back as many of those 8.125 FA shapes as physically possible!

My first pro board was the 1986 Monty Nolder by Schmitt Stix. The concave fit like a custom made glove.

Raddest episode ever. The Professor is a living legend, man you must have been stoked to meet him and get a tour of the whole shop! You looked like a awestruck gromm at the start of the vlog!

Ugh i miss the FA boards when they used to be on ps stix idk why, plus their graphics back then were the best

Any time I feel like I have board madness or truck madness I head over to Ben's channel and realize it could get way worse. 😂

sick vid, lowk super interesting. thanks ben !

Great video! 🇨🇦🇨🇦

super sick video! PS forever!!

haha paul seems like an intense guy

That was great! Thanks.

Great video! I had the opportunity to visit Paul's workshop, with Sean Cliver last year. It was super cool to watch them sort out some upcoming Strangelove decks and after that, Paul offered to help me make a board. Using his Create-A-Skate template, I designed and cut out the (my) ideal "Zip Zinger" style shape, which was AWESOME! I picked a cruiser so I would have it forever. As a carpenter myself, and OG Schmitt Stix fan of 35 years, I was definitely nerding out. It was fun to poke around in his shop too. I asked a lot of questions and participating in the process solved a lot of mysteries. It was an incredible experience. I got the board custom screened by @rochambo with a picture of my cat, Bowie.🥰
