How Grain Makes Wooden Surfboards

Рет қаралды 381,459

6 жыл бұрын

In this episode of Bloomberg Pursuits' MADE series we visit a shop in York, Maine. Grain Surfboards are built through an additive process that has much in common with traditional wooden ship-building. Planks of wood are cut and glued onto an internal wood frame before being sanded down to their final shape.

Fiberglass cloth is literally glass what is not sustainable about that?

@moffel96 2 жыл бұрын

@@deadlata9767 fiberglass on it's own is not unsustainable as such, but as soon as you soak it in synthetic ressin you create a so called monstrous hybrid that can not be reused nor broken down by nature, leaving only the landfill or insinneration which releases toxic chemicals into the air and ground. anything that pollutes the land and cannot be carried on indefinitely is per default unsustainable.

Provided the rails are shaped properly they are on par with regular boards in terms of performance and weight. A Weber wooden board has been ridden at XXL nazare.

@charlesschuster7963 3 жыл бұрын

Drawknife, get one on ebay, but as with all edge tools they have to be kept sharp, and there's a lot of edge there. Also, they're not for small cuts, nor easy to control. You need straight grain wood, strength, and practice to use one effectively.

Nah, surfboards are usually carved entirely by machine and then glasses by hand. This is definitely a more hand on approach. Still not truely hand made, but not truely machined.
