Thanks to whoever posted this tribute. I met Mr Balthrop at the Starving Artist show in San Antonio and enjoyed chatting with him. We have four of his works and enjoy them to this day. He was very accommodating and even sent a number zero print of Native Dancer when we requested it by mail.
Ok so the question of million dollars is there a way to make bags that can be use to make boards with the hand pump with the laminate. your pump method is so effective but the cost is not that much if we can use a hand pump on your method it is very useful and effective
If you roll decks by a hand roller you can typically get 6-7 out of a gallon. With a glue spreader you can get about 8-9. Contact Dub PRess Distribution if your looking for the wood and glues.
There are many alternatives, however, Canadian/North American Maple has some of the best properties for skateboard performance (i.e. durability, flex, weight, pop, etc.).
Thats true - and we do. However, the program we run allows the students to design their own unique skateboard shape, size, etc. They CNC machine the jig to suit from recycled EPS foam, then vac bag the veneers to that jig. If we were to use a press, each student will need to build an individual press which wouldn't be anywhere near as feasible as using the EPS/vac bag process. Thanks.
so if you line up the glued layers of wood with the contours of the EPS foam inside of a vac bag, will the layers of wood conform to the contours of the EPS foam? or do you HAVE to use a carved/contoured block of wood? I like this method because it seems less expensive than a deck press.
I feel you on the press, but Powell uses vacuum process. Can't be that far wrong. I would prefer a press, but dont have room so, until then I just have my decks made by customskateboards.com
This is too much work for nothing...The glue will dry before you have the time to do all this, and then it will not bond the layers. There are many better faster and easier ways to do it. An unvarnished skateboard does not take more than 5 minutes to make.
Too much for a small brain. This guy gave some good in-depth info that is much needed. You don't just slap some glue on the veneers throw it in the bag and viola!!! There is a lot of critical aspects to this that people don't understand in would generally just skip over therefore ruining the process of putting the veneers together correctly. If it's too much for you your brain is too small.

Excellent demonstration, by the way. I'm sure the kids will be psyched to make their own boards. Wish I had something like this when I was coming up.
used to work in a boat shop we used a scrap piece of hose to listen for the air leaks when laying up stringers in the bottom of the boats. Worked well
Really nice demonstration you gave here, very inspiring to get a vacuum bag.
Sensacional!!!!
Mr. $.
Desejo-lhe muito sucesso.🙌🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠
Wood shop teacher thats into skating 👍🏾👍🏾 now thats cool
Hit the Like button fast and subbed instantly, excellent presentation / explanation.
Thanks, very good video. My question is how much pression you use informe the bacum? Thanks!
Hi, thanks for a great video. What ply did you use and where is it available. Cheers
Sick, its like anyone can make their own deck, nice one bruvv
Such an amazing vid, thanks so much
Very nice video, I hope to do same, thanks for your work
would titebond 2 be a good alternative to titebond 3?
It would probably work but you'd have to be quicker
Nice video! What do you think about Roarockit veneer and glue?
Their veneer is really good stuff. I have never used their glue tho. I always use the professional sk8 glue.
They use proper Canadian maple veneer. You can't get much better. I've used the titebond glue for about 15 years now and it's never failed.
@@mrs.869 thanks!

How much glue do you use per deck?
If you roll decks by a hand roller you can typically get 6-7 out of a gallon. With a glue spreader you can get about 8-9. Contact Dub PRess Distribution if your looking for the wood and glues.
Where did you get the wood and where did you get the lamination bags
have you ever tried hickory veneers?
What exactly is “tacky tape”? Is it just double sided tape?
Very cool
Do you make your veneers or order them in mass? I’m looking to create my owns decks but do not have the ability to buy veneers wholesale
Hi Domino, we could supply Veneer for skateboard, if you need it, please contact with me. My email address is sales2@er-wood.com.
Tell me what veneer can be used instead of canadian maple?is there an alternative?
There are many alternatives, however, Canadian/North American Maple has some of the best properties for skateboard performance (i.e. durability, flex, weight, pop, etc.).
what is the tool which you suggested to use to route the edges of the board called?
A spokeshave. We use it to remove the bulk of the edge material then sand the 'rounded' edge shape with Emery roll sandpaper.
ABHINAV GARG a router. Lol.
All I have ever used was an electric palm sander.
Has anyone tried different glues?
great video
way too much work, get a hydraulic press man, they work way better. I wouldn't trade mine for the world :)

Will titebond 1 be fine because that's all i have?
No. It isn't a waterproof glue.
I'm making skateboard as well for woodwork
What type of glue do you use in the lamination process? Gracias
epoxy maybe
its normal wood glue, you' find it in the hardware or a DIY store
Skateboard template size 8.0 link please??
Jesus, some of these comments and questions. Did you people WATCH the video? No wonder this planet is in the toilet.
Anyone know how to make w concave??
what in the world is this man talking about 150$ decks XD
thats what we pay here in nz/oz mate... cheapskates.co.nz/products?categories=3
Cool beans
Weak concave

He is working in a 10 minute window to get it in the bag...Powell uses this same method.
@Mitchell Nova You do it that way then... and good luck.
it was to in-depth
Wow.... Find a new hobby then.
Thats the stupidist way to make a skateboard. Theres no shape to it, it looks dead flat with no concave...... get a hydraulic board press.
Powell Peralta makes their boards the same way... I don't see any problem with their boards.
this was not helpfull
