Thanks for watching!

Thank you, more cool projects coming soon!

Damn that means a lot, thanks for watching!

+RealityCrafts can you please provide us with the exact dimensions. The board looks awesome. Great job with the fiberglass

Thank you!

Thank you!

wilgarcia1 grate...great

ikr

Thank you good sir! More great projects coming soon!

excellent...cant wait!

tanja kimmel the press is commercial if you would want to do it yourself watch every third Thursdays video on how to make a press

Could you maybe provide a link? I can't seem to find the video anywhere.

Good suggestion! I might make an electric one in future!

Yep, lacquer will make the wood waterproof. Pylox brand's lacquer works fine.

The wood pieces were bonded with a layer of fiberglass cloth and resin as my adhesive.

ok sweet, thanks

Is it the Resin27?

RealityCrafts who's the resin27?

Some say he was the first Fiberglass long board builder...

TTXD Gaming haha

Hi there, my board measures around 115cm long, and 24cm wide. It's a little bit on the longer side, as i'd like more room for dancing.

+RealityCrafts thats awesome! Personally preference anyway! :)

The spray grip i use is pretty durable. It's mostly used for bathroom floors as it can be slippery. It's been almost half a year since then and the grip is still there. I'd recommend another type of spray grip called lucid grip, made specifically for spraying skateboard decks.

In order to get good flex, professional companies usually use 7 plys of veneer, which is an extremely thin wood. Their wood is probably just a little too thick. Plus, most people who make these are woodworkers, not skaters.

to be honest, this longboard doesn’t look too thick to me. that’s just my opinion though. i haven’t been skating for too long, not as long as a lot of skaters in my area at least, who have been skating for around 3+ years

Florinda Corser if it where on top it would get damaged and also fiberglass breaks down in the sun so it would eventually break

you can make the board out of a solid piece of wood if your using it just to cruise. just make sure its strong

Just ol' fashion masking tape.

It's been almost a year since i've built it and its still pretty rough! I used a rather good quality one and since i don't drag my feet on the board too much, it lessens the eroding of the grip. I'd rather spray on a clear grip than paste grip tape on it as it'll cover up the beautiful wood under it.

RealityCrafts You made an awesome board so do as you please my man. The clear grip comes out pretty transclucent, I like clear grip to put pictures underneath!

I'm not sure what you think of as overpriced, but there are plenty of dancers available, also in Europe. I'm sure that a simple Google search for skateshops in your country will provide you with plenty of options to choose from.

We used epoxy resin to adhere the planks together.

do i have to sand the waterproof coating? or just apply like a paint

No need to sand, it can be applied straight away.

RealityCrafts kk thanks

I did a spray on grip for the board.

he used spray grit, it's clear so you didn't see it

+RealityCrafts how much for one

i'm glad he used it, black grip tape would ruin the beauty of that wood.

True, but there's something about 'clear griptabe' that I really don't like. I don't know what it is, but it just puts me off everytime. Yet I really love to see the wood. Guess I'm just weird than...

Actually there is a slight concave on the deck. I guess the camera did not capture it well.

Auke why is concave essential while riding in the rain?

because the top of the board will lose a lot of it's grip when it gets wet. So then you're basically standing on a slippery wet piece of wood.(phrasing lol) and then you can really use concave to stay on to board (because concave will generally help locked in your feet due to it's shape.

Auke i isnt geting slipery if you have a regular deck with griptape but concave helps a bit

Auke it actually is concaved if you look

Twariq Dustagheer He used a spray Grip if you payed attention 😑😑

He used spray grip but let’s all just admit it, spray grip sucks

Okky Martrio finally a reason for him the get rid of the bear trucks and orangutan wheels, calibers and flywheels are best for eskate as well as normal longboarding tbh

I see, thanks for pointing that out!

+RealityCrafts No problem!

whats wrong with it?

Not Matthew a skateboard?

Matthew Bellefeuille they are extremely hard to make due to all the advanced curvs

Thankfully i'm on the pavements most of the time!

Haha yep!

RealityCrafts Cool bro! I am also keen on building one. Which workshop do you go to?

I work in a workshop makerspace so i do my projects there. You can look for Guangjun at Tombalek, his facebook is in the link's description.

Thanks bro!

Sorry this board is for personal use. You can make one with the given tools! It's actually quite easy.

Y but I'm a kid

But I see how it is 😢😢😢😢

+Martin Guzman just ask your parents

Why does that matter? I'm 14 and I've built two, what's the problem?

Thanks for the info! I guess it's just a habit of mine to sand my woodworking projects up to 400 to remove all the fine scratches.

You can take the class there for $60 i think, $40 for students. The materials for the deck itself is $90 for basic fibreglass composite (as shown in the video).

+iAM Enrico thanks

woow man...That's toooo much...i build the deck about 10$

yassine berguita I'm sure you do.

It's a reverse kingpin truck, it's supposed to be facing outwards.

realy? i have didn't knew that

Павел Весельчак They are types of wood :) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyatoh www.amazon.co.uk/Balsa-Wood-Giant-Pack/dp/B01DCOR6G6

Tom Murphy, Thank you dude!!!

Hmm you're right. If i make another one in future, i'll try to use common tools so that others can have a rough idea on how it goes with normal tools.

$40,000 is a low guess those are industrial planers and saws.

Most of these things can be done with regular cheap tools

Fibreglass makes the board a little more springy, and will prevent delamination. Although i should try carbon fiber instead since it's stronger than fibreglass.

I also like the springy effect of fibreglass. But fiber is most effective on the top and bottom of the board (sadly, it would destroy your nice wood finish, so the best Option would be to put a thin veneer as a top layer). Also, woven fibreglass isnt as nice and effective as straight, one-directional ( 0°, put on the bottom to regulate flex) or two-directional (+/-45°, put on top AND bottom to prevent torsion) fibre. Carbon fibre is nice to get stiff boards, it doesn't provide a nice flex like fibreglass. You shouldn't worry about delamination between wood layers if using epoxy (be sure to wash out oily wood with thinner). Have a nice weekend!

Thanks for watching! Very useful info.

No haha, i just see it as nice looking that's all.

What has that star to do with THE Devil

actually its quite the opposite , that's an antipossestion pentagram , which keeps evil out , it would only become satanic if it was inverted

You're over-complicating things. I chose that design because it looked nice that's all LMAO
