@@smileplz237 The only thing that didn’t make sense to me was the jig/clamping system he built. I’ve never seen somebody induce concave (Not to mention concave on both sides in conjunction with kick tails at the front and back!) into their glue-up using only a crude form that doesn’t actually have a *form* to it (LOL) simply relying on strips along the sides to press up while the press applies downward pressure radiating to the edges from the center during gluing seems like it would result in an incredibly poorly made skateboard but that does not appear to be the case???
Following up on a five-year-old comment of yours regarding the gluing/clamping technique for producing a DIY longboard… How is the durability? I would really really really appreciate if if you would reply back because… Not to offend the content creator here but I’m honestly amazed that this type of clamping system works at all and if it does then I’m going to start doing it myself LOL
I've made longboard myself following instructions on you video and it is awesome! Thank you for this video! Here is the picture imgur.com/a/U87tS It is not perfect like yours, but I hope that my next one will be just as yours!)
This is a really well put together build tutorial. I learned a lot and will be using the techniques you demonstrated. What an amazing finished product. Top job and thank you.
This video was PERFECT. I will definitely need it later! I have commented on your previous videos, saying good things but this takes it to a whole new level... Thank you so much! Keep up the good work!
Hey Cash, just wanted to express my gratitude for the video. I'm finishing college and in this semester I designed an electric longboard which I had to make a model of. For that, your video, especially the DIY clamps part, helped immensely, so BIG thanks man!
For the press- how tall were the concave stretchers in the middle of the board (it looks like 1/2" and how tall were the ends for the kick tails (that looks like 1-1/2")?
Thanks mate! Very good explained video! I'm not a skater but this looks like a very cool project :) Is 80 grit sandpaper an alternative for grit tape??
Wow, nice vid man. Thanks for breaking down each step. I've made a few boards just as a hobby but haven't been able to get enough concave. I'm gonna try the press you showed on my next project. Thanks man, keep it up.
This was the most helpful video i could find for this. I made a longboard of my own earlier this year, it was the first one ive made so i had no clue what i was doing. In the end, my trucks werent straight, one sheet delaminated, and my griptape was frayed around the edges. I plan to make another this summer and im confident that this video will help me perfect my cruiser
Extra point for the clamping system. Ive done similar things and if the nose is just straight all u have to do is shape the tail and the concave. At the tail u can use clamps but for the concave I'm thinking about using heavy rocks. And it's mostly for people with no workshop. Also I'm thinking about strengthening the board lenghtwise with the help of metalthread. As a cheapversion of Carbon fiber cloth that has been used between the different layers of wood. oh well. there are so many ideas.
Yeah, because everybody wants to spend money on -Vinyl stencils -Airbrush tools -Laser cut griptape -Router -Belt sander Eh never fucking mind. I'm just grumpy because of the cringeworthy awkward scripted commentary. I'm making a longboard myself right now. Spent about €15 on making a press. And around €40 for the wood, glue, paint, and clear coat. If the first few boards work out I'll be using fiberglass as well. Wich would probably set me back around €15 extra per deck.
I'm sorry my informational video made you grumpy. If you're serious about woodworking you'll start buying high quality tools which will last you a life time and end up making their money back exponentially. Belt sanders and routers are at least are essential for any good wood shop. Now I'm not saying it can't be done with simpler stuff, it certainly can but it takes way longer. Send me a picture when you're done with yours, I'd love to see your work. Have a good rest of your day, I hope your grumpiness wears off.
CashedOutBoards Hahahaha, wasn' t expecting a response XD. Hey, the production value on your video's are amazing. But you need to either be doing something (like most of this video) or be more expressive with your hands. Becouse you sitting in 1 position, or standing with your hands in your pockets, doesn' t really make for an inviting and involving viewing eperience. If that makes any sense at all. And I was a little pissed off since I couldnt go to work yesterday, therefore earning less money, therefore getting farther away from that belt sander with every passing minute. Also, i'm gonna be using 4 3,4-3,6 mm hardwood plys to make my first board. I' ve got a good press setup now, so theres gonna be concave and angled truck mounts. But i' m pretty sure the board is gonna break becouse the hard wood i bought was a crappy quality. I' m probably gonna invest into better wood in the future, but i hope it's gonna work out. Oh and one more thing. I' ve just found out that Hardboard (the stuff that goes under flooring) is the cheapest, and really most usefull material to make lasting and easy to use templates. and probably even a tool to make fiberglass molds. the stuff is like carboard, but more usefull/durable/precise
Love the board but don’t like the brand name. Either way, well done man. Very nice. Didnt realise the brand is named after yourself.. Really like it now!
Thus is awesome I love it..How much is that beautiful longboard? Did you having for sale? Hope you answer my questions I appreciate it. Thanks for your time and also sharing...
Heyy, your longboard is actually pretty nice!! Im in a project with friends and we just started a week ago, basically my question is, can you please just translate in french all the material that you use in the making off of the board? Because im a french guy and I don't really enderstand what is the product(wood, glue and all the stuff) for making a board
Hi, this comment is going to be a bit long, so this is your warning. So I'm going to start a local business selling handmade longboard and skateboard decks so I can have at least some income as a teenager. Since money at the start is going to be a bit tight and the fact that Baltic birch doesn't come easily where I live means I will have to work with regular birch. If I put a bit of curve into the board from side to side, would that provide some structural stability or will that just make the board weaker?
Great video thanks so much for the info. Also I don't know who needs this, but I'd like to bless anyone since you've blessed me. Jesus christ loves you and gave his life on the cross so we could live and have a relationship with god. All we have to do is recognize our sins and ask for forgiveness and believe in jesus christ his son.
How did you set up the blocks to not only get a rocker camber, but actual concave into it, know what I mean? Your nose and tail are shaped like an actual skateboard deck when it comes to the deck scooping down and then up into the nose, how did you achieve the down bend before the up into the nose itself??
Wrong grainline the board will flex more but break easier if u want more flex u can leave the midle like this and I recomend glueing with a roller it makes it more even and removes excess glue but ohervise it's great a few smaller mistakes but not that bad.
I would love a little clarification on a couple of things, please. The "long skinny strips of wood" 1:05 and "kicktail scraps". Do you remember how thick those are? "Scraps" look 3/4". Maybe the "strips" are 1/2 inch? I have built a board before and because I thought, after unclamping there would be more, spring back, than there was, my board ended up more like a bowl. lol. I don't need to do that again. :) Also, Where do you buy your 1/8" Baltic birch plywood? I am having trouble finding a supplier. Thanks in advance! Great video...Straight to the point tutorial. :)
+Monsieur Loyal Hmm i'm not sure exactly how think the strips were, you can cut some and then try pressing it without glue to see the shape. I got my baltic birch at a wood supply shop. Try searching online for wood supply or wood crafting shops in your area and see what comes up. Good luck!
hi man, i need help with my new channel. ofcourse its all about longboard but there is a little problem with my new channel. idk how to get more ideas for vids !? if you make longboards than you upload it around ~2/3 months later. thats not allright. what do i do when im out of ideas ?
+Zach Ramsey It all depends on how much concave you're looking for, these were probably around 3/8 of an inch but test press it first to make sure it's what you're looking for. And for me 4 layers of birch is fairly stiff but i'm light. 3 layers is more flexy but not as strong. Good luck!
When I made my longboard, I didn't have a belt sander. I had to sand my board down with a handheld sander. I didn't use a dremel, but I did use a router, which definitely gave the board and the edges a more defined shape. My longboard creation was so amateur compared to this video. lol
Great video but would be nice to have a parts list, perhaps with costing and quantity? I’ve got very little of the basic things to make this and am going to have to go shopping but it’s hard to know exactly what to buy!
Hey bro please... Can you do detailed version for a normal skateboard.(about the press),can I use any wood, i don't have Birch...love your videos. Please do some more:)
+Supertramp K I might be able to make a normal skateboard eventually but i'm fairly busy at the moment. And you could use other wood, just make sure it is in thin enough sheets to bend into shape. Thanks for the feedback man! I'll make more videos as I make more boards!
I can't remember the exact amount, but if you have access to wood shop tools it'll end up being significantly cheaper, it just takes a lot of time. Good luck!
Can I use this method to make a DownHill LongBoard? Does that LongBoard that you are making in the video (materials and construction method) resist to be used as a DH?
I've used higher end "normal plywood" from home improvement stores with SOME success. They'll work but won't be as strong, or will likely need to be thicker and thus heavier. It's worth the experiment if you cant get birch!
So with using Baltic birch, should cut the length of the board with the more rigid side of the wood? I apologize if this is kind of hard to understand lol, I don't know a better way to type it.
Well done young man! I really liked the outcome after polishing the bottom!!! So just a buffing compound on polyurethane finish? To clarify please. Thanks! :-)
Hey look! Somebody who actually puts a concave into their board and knows what they're doing!
:) I'm sayin...
The only thing he didn't do that didn't make sense was that he built his own concave contraption when he could have used clamps
@@smileplz237 The only thing that didn’t make sense to me was the jig/clamping system he built. I’ve never seen somebody induce concave (Not to mention concave on both sides in conjunction with kick tails at the front and back!) into their glue-up using only a crude form that doesn’t actually have a *form* to it (LOL)
simply relying on strips along the sides to press up while the press applies downward pressure radiating to the edges from the center during gluing seems like it would result in an incredibly poorly made skateboard but that does not appear to be the case???
I have to say, this is one of the nicest long boards I have seen regarding the fit and finish of the product... Nicely done Sir....
+John Johnston thank you!
This is the best DIY longboard video I've ever watched.
Thanks man! It means a lot! It’s been a while since I’ve posted but there’ll be some really neat stuff coming up on the channel in 2020!
this is a lot less cringey than the cruiser one lmao still great info in the vid also i like your clamping system ill have to try it out
Very nice! Thanks a lot.
Regards from Brazil.
+Adestrador Online thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I agree with comments below...awesome instruction video and quality content. Keep making videos you have a great shop. :-)
Trees2Pens Thanks! Will do whenever I work on boards!
POP FILTER!
I love your videos. I have made a few boards using your technique and they turned out way better than expected! Thanks for sharing.

This is a really well put together build tutorial. I learned a lot and will be using the techniques you demonstrated. What an amazing finished product. Top job and thank you.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it, best of luck on your own!
Best tutorial I have ever seen on TH-cam
Same here!!!
agreed
I recomend the channel Longboard Thecnology. They make less mistakes and they go more into details.
This video was PERFECT. I will definitely need it later! I have commented on your previous videos, saying good things but this takes it to a whole new level... Thank you so much! Keep up the good work!
+Leo Squared Thank you! I'm always trying to improve my content. Good luck if you make a board!
Hey Cash, just wanted to express my gratitude for the video. I'm finishing college and in this semester I designed an electric longboard which I had to make a model of. For that, your video, especially the DIY clamps part, helped immensely, so BIG thanks man!
Awesome man! That’s great to hear. I’m just about to graduate college and will be bringing this channel back to life!
Very very excellent job and video bro, compliment and super like by Warmachine bodybuilding of garage Gym italy 🇮🇹
Put the nuts on the rod prior to cutting, remove nut after to allow for easy threading:) Cool vid!
For the press- how tall were the concave stretchers in the middle of the board (it looks like 1/2" and how tall were the ends for the kick tails (that looks like 1-1/2")?
Pretty awesome for a homemade board👍
I literally appreciate you sm for this video!! I’m making one as a present for my BF
How is it
this is great !! do you have board template like this one ?? it would be very helpful to me. Thanks
Thanks mate! Very good explained video! I'm not a skater but this looks like a very cool project :) Is 80 grit sandpaper an alternative for grit tape??
thanks for your videos very helpful keep doing your thang, keep the music flowin

To bad my dad would let me or help me do this. He would say “What’s wrong with the board you have right now” then I would say “You just don’t get it”
There's something special about making your own!

Didnt realise the brand is named after yourself.. Really like it now!
Thanks! I just wanted to use my name on the board haha
@@cash_reviews wait, I'm sorry.. Maybe I missed hearing your name. If so, then thats really awesome!! I like the name a lot more now 😁👌
Sweet tutorial. Good luck with the band
Thanks man super helpful gonna need this for woodshop can’t wait to make this!
Where can i find a templete for a longboard like this cuz i love it

Cashedoutboards, do you think i can use a wolmanized plywood other than baltic birch?
Where did you get the Birch? I cant find it anywhere over 24 inches in length
quality is leaps and bounds ahead of your last videos
How did you set up the blocks to not only get a rocker camber, but actual concave into it, know what I mean? Your nose and tail are shaped like an actual skateboard deck when it comes to the deck scooping down and then up into the nose, how did you achieve the down bend before the up into the nose itself??

Do someone have a templates? I really need it. Silverfishlongboarding.com doesn't work.
ugh, i hate this kind of videos... now i wanna made one myself again one to. but i allready got a tan tien, no chance that i will make a better one XD
amazing please tell me how much is the thickness? dimensions exactly please
How long and wide are the concave and kick tails pieces
INCREDIBLE WORK.....GREAT JOB !!!!!!
Do you find that pva glue creeps over time?
Do I want the more flexible side of wood facing up or down?
hey. nice work. but can you put the measures of the press in millimeters here please ?
where can you buy large sheets of Baltic Birch??
+Joseph Ford I got mine from a local wood supply store
I'll go hunting then 😂
hi man, i need help with my new channel. ofcourse its all about longboard but there is a little problem with my new channel. idk how to get more ideas for vids !? if you make longboards than you upload it around ~2/3 months later. thats not allright. what do i do when im out of ideas ?
Do fails montages thats all anyone watches
How many layers of plywood ? just 2? It seemed more
Thank you for this tutorial #DIY longboard
+CasheOutBoards How big are the pieces of wood you used for the concave? Also, does this wood give you a nice flex?
+Zach Ramsey It all depends on how much concave you're looking for, these were probably around 3/8 of an inch but test press it first to make sure it's what you're looking for. And for me 4 layers of birch is fairly stiff but i'm light. 3 layers is more flexy but not as strong. Good luck!

+Dylan Gray haha yeah a lot of these tools are really just luxuries, you don't need all of them
can anyone make board for my į tryed to make it and when i rided it broke
Martynas Tumutis With vocabulary like that, I highly doubt you’re old enough to run power tools
Nice video. Where did you buy the plywood? And can’t I use clamps for the press bought from store?
I dont have quality plywood for that😔
Do you have a link for the trunk templates?
Great video but would be nice to have a parts list, perhaps with costing and quantity? I’ve got very little of the basic things to make this and am going to have to go shopping but it’s hard to know exactly what to buy!
what do you estimate to be the total cost of making this board?
Can you link where you got your template?
this is the best longboard diy tutoriales I have ever seen
Hey bro please... Can you do detailed version for
a normal skateboard.(about the press),can I use any wood, i don't have Birch...love your videos. Please do some more:)
+Supertramp K I might be able to make a normal skateboard eventually but i'm fairly busy at the moment. And you could use other wood, just make sure it is in thin enough sheets to bend into shape. Thanks for the feedback man! I'll make more videos as I make more boards!
If I was to have the flexible side down and I want some play. How many layers should I have so it’s not to flexible or stiff
It depends on your weight, if you use birch, I’m 135lbs and use 3-4 layers. 3 for shorter boards, 4 for stiffer ones or longer ones
kga binnenkort mijn longboard maken wens mij succes
lo intentare... :3 gracias por el video .. like
What you didn't put trucks on it & take it for a ride?
Nice vid. But I can stop thinking about you voice hahah It literally sounds like Stephen Hawking 😂
you should put more details into it like dimensions
How much did that board cost to make? Is making a board usually cheaper or more expensive than buying a board of the same quality?
I can't remember the exact amount, but if you have access to wood shop tools it'll end up being significantly cheaper, it just takes a lot of time. Good luck!
Did you test it on durability. Like would it be able to withstand a person of 90 kilograms? Because I want to make one, but can't afford it to snap.
You could always add more layers if you're worried about the board breaking!
I disliked this video because there were 0 dislikers
This can be done.... atleast i thing.... ill try
Any way to make this without power tools?
You wasted lots of wood by cutting it out in the middle 🤦♂️
There's always going to be some scrap and it's a good idea to leave extra in case layers don't laminate perfectly on eachother
How thick is your board?
Can I use this method to make a DownHill LongBoard? Does that LongBoard that you are making in the video (materials and construction method) resist to be used as a DH?
It'll work for that! Just make sure you use enough layers of wood to make sure it's stiff enough
Hi im currently making a board as a school project, was just wondering how thick your board was and why you choose to use 4 laminates, cheers, James.
Is it okay if i cut it out first and then glue it together? My board should not be with concave or so. Thank you for your answers!
You definitely could do that, it might be hard to properly align the layers and it'll still needed to be sanded after. It should work though
oke thank you
One thing to add: Cut WITH the grain
Hi there, is there any other good wood alternatives to baltic birch, could I use normal plywood? Thanks for the great tutorials.
I've used higher end "normal plywood" from home improvement stores with SOME success. They'll work but won't be as strong, or will likely need to be thicker and thus heavier. It's worth the experiment if you cant get birch!
So with using Baltic birch, should cut the length of the board with the more rigid side of the wood? I apologize if this is kind of hard to understand lol, I don't know a better way to type it.
+Rush_Recon yes cut it so it's more rigid, alternate grain pattern if you want it stiff in all directions
Where did you get the birch plywood?
How wide should the board be at its widest. I know my overall length is gonna be 40 inches I just don't want my board to be too skinny.
+William Kostik I usually never go over 10" for my boards, but do what you feel is best! I usually like 8 to 10 inch widths for my boards. Good luck!
Well done young man! I really liked the outcome after polishing the bottom!!! So just a buffing compound on polyurethane finish? To clarify please. Thanks! :-)
What site can I get the truck pattern off of
All well and good if you have all of the equipment and space to be able to do this. That being said, nice video and nice board
Can you share the design please?
hi! nice job! how many veneers of 1/8 inch baltic birch did u use? thanks!
This board used 4! Depends on rider weight and how flexible you want it
You could be the Norm Abram (New Yankee Workshop) of the skateboard world! Great job with making a detailed and informative video. Thanks
te a quedado sorprendentemente genial
How can we understand if you fast forward your video bro....??? Your so rude of your knowlege!!!
The wood i use it doesn't like to bend. My friend and I we screw our boards down to a piece of wood. Where do u get your wood? Love your videos!
+Action Films I got my wood from a local woodworking shop / lumbar yard
I've watched this video about 10 times and I still can't tell if you cross cut or ripped the wood
I did some layers both ways for strength in both directions
that sucks your band isn't together anymore but good luck on your future music career... im a drummer for a couple bands and skateboarder too
I should update this! Our band is back together now!
Did you make it cross grain, or was all the grain going in the same direction? Will the wood snap if I do it cross grain?
+Rishabh G cross grain, it helps for rigidity in all directions
