I'm astonished every time you come up with your Home-made solutions. I've never thought, it's even possible to create a carbon fibre paddle literally on the kitchen table.
Excellent work Jim!
Thank you very much!
Bloody hell Jim, that's a top job you've done there fella, looks shop bought.
Thank you very much
Fascinating, and what a satisfying result!
Thank you very much Pudding Cat
I don't think I will ever need a paddle but this was a great tutorial for any basic carbon fibre project. Some excellent safety tips thrown too. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay healthy.
Thank you very much Glen. Stay safe
Good job. Simple and nice
Thank you very much
Maybe already perfect but I think a curve in the opposite direction would stop it flexing. The finish was beautiful.
Thank you .I am very pleased with it, works well.
That’s great, Jim. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Kris
Good looking paddle, Jim, and a great video. It was an interesting technique. Have fun kayaking and paddle boarding when the weather turns nice again. Take care and see you next video.
Bill
Thanks Bill, glad you liked it
Outstanding!
Glad you like it!
What a great result! Looks like a professional shop item. Well done!
Thank you very much Shaun
Fair play Jim. You are a man of endless talent!
Thank you very much mate
Brilliant!
Thank you very much
I enjoyed watching this Jim, nice to see something a bit different now and again.
Thank you very much
Very impressive!
Thank you! Cheers!
good job nice too see you branching out.. in your projects
Thank you very much
looks amazing jim thanks for sharing :-)
Thanks Pam, I hope you are keeping well.
Awesome job Jim!
Thanks Andy
That really turned out well, Jim. Good job.
Thank you very much Vincent
Nice work. I kind of like that you dabble in everything. I do the same. Many times out of necessity.
Thanks Bruce, variety is the spice of life
As a fellow paddler I'm impressed. Very 👍
Thank you very much Peter, I am looking forward to some better weather when I can test it properly.
Pretty Awesome Job Jim!
Thank you Steve
Awesome Jim
Thanks mate, glad you like it
Lovely one, Jim! Carbon fibre and CFRP never cease to amaze me. So amazingly high-tech, but also simple enough to do simple projects with at home!
Many thanks! Yes amazing stuff, I keep thinking of other ways I could use it
You have made a grand job, I’m sure it will aid you in becoming a superstar in the kayak and on board the paddleboard keep save TYFS ☃️🎁🎄🎅🏻☃️🎁🎄🎅🏻☃️🎁🎄🎅🏻
Thanks Elaine
Beautiful paddle. I would’ve thought a person could only get that quality level of carbon fiber manufacturing out of a factory.
I thought the vacuum process was a requirement. In the past, I’ve seen some classmates make some carbon fiber things at university & it was a very messy process. They used vacuum packing and did not get as nice a finished product as you did.
Thank you very much. Vacuum makes the process quicker and should produce less porosity but not essential for this type of project.
Love it. You're right about the fibres, if they get in, you have to wait till they grow out and they can itch in the meantime. Love kayaks and canoes too but haven't tried bodyboarding. (I have to admit I thought porosity was a word Nick would come up with lol, but nope its real and even has its own formula.)
Thank you very much Dale, gotta watch that porosity !
Many thanks, Jim, for an interesting video. I live on the coast of Strangford Lough, Northern Ireland which is the largest sea lough in the UK.
I regularly see kayakers singly or in groups enjoying themselves. I might give it try.
Thanks Alan, yes I thoroughly enjoy kayaking
Nice work
Thank you very much
@@JimsonMakes anytime
Always wanted a carbon fiber paddle for my kayak but they are so expensive after watching you I may try to just make one
Thank you for watching , I am hoping to put it to the test next week. If I did it again I would carve a foam core to give it a slightly better profile and it it take less carbon to achieve the same rigidity.
Beautiful job Jim, came out great without any vacuum bagging. What weight carbon did not use for the 9 plies? Cheers
Thank you. I think it was 200g. It would have been better with vacuum bagging but then the costs would have gone up.
Very well done. That is a level of craftsmanship I would never attain😁 Question: Did you think about adding a layer to bring up the diameter instead of using masking tape ? Stay safe. -Mike😷⏳
Thank you very much Mike. I did consider adding a layer to the shaft but it would have made it over diameter and tricky to cut back. I still might do that, although it would have been easier to do before adding the blade.
Great result! How many layers was made? 4?
Thank you. I think it was 9 total
Very cool project Jim, I wonder would you be able to make a bowl out of same materials or would that be too expensive or maybe not possible at all. Ps hope your having a great Christmas 👍👍👍
I have planned a carbon bowl but not sure if it is video worthy
Hello dear friend . First of all Magnificent video and thanks for the great contribution. I have a doubt, could you pass me the measurement of the template used? I am familiar with carbon fiber and I am about to make a paddle for myself. I await your response and thank you again for the great contribution you give us. Thank you
I took the measurements from an existing paddle I had. Best find a paddle you like and copy the measurements. It was to make my SUP paddle double ended so copied that. I think I used 9 layers of carbon. Many thanks for watching .
First of all, thank you very much for your quick response. In the process of the 9 layers of carbon fiber, do I wait for the curing time of the resin between layers or did you put them all at once? thanks again and I will share my result with you soon. Greetings from Spain (Andalusia) ;)
@@cesarcarazocalderon7136 the secret is to let each layer partially cure before adding the next. It needs to have reached the tacky stage. If you leave it too long the layers will not bond together properly and if you add the layer too soon it can cause problems with layer shift or lift. You can add a layer to each side at the same time to save time.
Thank you very much dear friend. when I finish my manufacture I will show it to you. see you soon. 🙌🏾👍🏾
How did the paddle perform. As an old kayak guy I find the SUP paddle not performing as I used to using a kayak paddle. I think the solution is building a longer kayak paddle to use on the SUP
Sorry for the late reply, the paddle works amazingly well . The angle of SUP paddles really makes them only efficient when standing, proper Kayak paddles are far more efficient when sitting or kneeling . Many thanks for watching.
May I ask the weight per square meter of the carbon? Want to replicate my own :)
The carbon cloth was 200gsm, I think I used 9 layers total. Many thanks for watching
I made a similar one 6 months ago, not yet tested , could you tell what is the weight of your paddle, carbon fiber cloth didn't work as expected in my case, mine weighs around 1100 grams.
Many thanks for watching, I think from memory the blade and shaft weighed 340g, now thoroughly tested and seems to be holding up well.
So you don't need a vacuum press or autoclave wotsit to cook the carbon fibre, hmm that's good to know.
all of those things would help and make the process quicker , but the cost rises too. The key is to add the next layer before the previous layer fully cures so that you get that chemical bond. Most commercial techniques involve using carbon fibre that is preimpregnated with a heat cured resin or the piece is layered up dry and resin is drawn through under vacuum.
A different video Jim but turned out flawless as usual.
Have you ever decided if you will sell the Martian bowl? I would really love to give it to my sister as a wedding gift :)
Thank you very much. I may be selling the bowl on Etsy soon
@@JimsonMakes please please let me know if you do decide to. I've had my eye on it from the first time I've seen it :)
@@Quackfly Hi Paul, if you are still interested in the Martian bowl please message me. You should be able to send me an email through my TH-cam channel page, possibly in the “about” section.
Cheers
Jim
