I'm 32. I've been skateboarding for 20 years. I've been playing guitar for 18 years. I have a deep love for woodworking that gets deeper every day. For me, this build is an absolute dream. Honestly, your channel is an absolute dream. Thanks for the inspiration bro. Your channel is f*cking amazing dude! Seeing what you do in every video is so inspiring! THANK YOU!
I really enjoy your videos. I’ve been a cabinetmaker for fifty plus years and a woodworker longer than that. One thing I’ve learned in all that time is that regardless of the age of the Maker we can all learn something from each other. I like your format for recycling skateboards and I think you do a very masterful job of producing your videos. Thank you for sharing your passion with the rest of us. Well done!
I love everything about this. The shipping container workshop, the design of your work, the workflow, the editing and of course the final result. Great work!
Beautiful build my friend. Thanks for sharing the project. Your patience in your build process is amazing. Just seeing the work involved in preparing the wood for the project,
Your process always impresses me. The way you get such flawless results is just astounding. Obviously a lot of hard work went into perfecting it. And it seems like every project just gets better and better. This guitar is nothing short of beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome job! An idea to peel off the grip tape would be to bring a sort of oven into wich you could put stacks of boards to warm up and then take out once at time and easly peel off
Davide Zannella I wonder if a sort of oven may too much dry the fibres and adhesive of the whole boards which may promote cracks. I was thinking a iron
Put them out in the sun when you get them. They're all gonna need to be peeled eventually so why not do it when they arrive. That way you'll have a stack of prepped boards whatever the temperature
Livi 120 maybe I make it look too easy but this is really hard to do, my forearms can barely move without cramping... and you think I’m gonna sit there and do 100s? Who’s gonna edit this masterpiece?
@@WobyDesign another idea i came up with while watching you peeling is to attach a drill to the wood stick you use to peel, maybe you could build a steel version with an attachment for the drill welded on one side
I was thinking of that as well, and a low RPM high torque motor to do the turning, you could just feed the board into it and it would peel it off for you.
Nice!!! Job well done. Funny how most "Plywood" guitars are cheaply made beginner models but this is so rad and nice! The best kind of plies of wood IMHO..
Great work man, bought a shirt a year or so ago purely to support what youre doing here man, awesome to see someone out there chasing there dreams! And to make art like this? AWESOME
Another great video by Woby Design! Your craftsmanship is extraordinary and you put a smile on my face with every video that you share! Thank you again for another enjoyable video! Have a great one! May you be blessed over and abundantly with success! Aloha!
This video has confirmed one thing for me. A Les Paul with a head where all tuning machines are on one side looks so much better than the original 3-3 head.
not even thinking about the guitar, look at how small that shop is.! working on putting my shop back together and i keep worrying that im not going to have enough room in the space available, but seeing what you can do in like 3 square feet is really giving me hope.
I’m at stage 1 of doing something similar. I have an old electric guitar that needs reconditioning and I am going to shave 10mm off the face of the body. Make template (Perspex)for placement of holes and mountings. Then make skateboard top 10mm. Glue to cut down body and shape edge profiles to original. I have some of my sons old boards which makes it personal. I then ate a guitar case with glass lid ( skateboard frame)so it becomes a wall hanging. Use a Perspex scratch plate or maybe pearl.
I've seen a lot of these "lets build a guitar out of random crap" videos, but I really like this one. The way you used the curves of the boards to flow around the pickups and bridge look really good. Nice work!
don't take this the wrong way, but you don't typically think of a woodworking channel to be a young guy in California! :) I really like your setup and gear, with just some concern with the finish process and the ventilation. I'm subscribed!
I've heard of people that live in places that get cold sometimes have trouble with the grip no sticking when they set up a new deck. having doing no testing and have doubt in my head as i write this it may be a better alternative to freeze the adhesive on the grip. you could fit several decks into some like a deep freezer and if it works then you don't have to stand there all day to take off the grips one by one.
WD: I really don't like guitar construction videos however I love watching your creative mind come up with new ideas to make things from skateboards! You truly have an original entertaining channel ! Im also a proud supporter of Grizzly tools in my shop! Thank you for sharing your talents!
Piano next, please? Excellent work as always and like everyone else says - your channel should be way up in the 500+Ks. So versatile, such a great screen personality, top notch editing and style. Tons and tons of talent ready to be utilised at its best in each and every video you make ... and let's not forget about the dog (in earlier videos) - to bring it all together. Ah yeah - your sponsors know it, you know it and of course your fans know it ... keep at it at this level and it's going to happen. The best of luck to you and thanks for the great video - as always! Cheers! JM
Very cool. Having been building, modifying, and hot-rodding basses and guitars for 30+ years - that is some really nice work. What did you use for your RF shielding in the control cavity, and what brand of pickups did you use?
So it's more than a guitar made of broken skateboard , it's a guitar made of skateboard used by skateboarders imbued from their skill and fail , a part of untold history. I love that.
Have you considered getting one of those old school heaters? I don’t know what they’re called but it’s a box with toaster-like wires that get red hot. Seems like it could make for a good little grip tape removal set up

So good. NEXT LEVEL patience just getting the wood to a manageable state. In awe of how compact & functional your space is too.
this channel is so underrated, nice editing and hella cool work! it's a crime to not be subscribed to this channel
I want to like this comment but i cant its on 69 likes
Nice
Ill come back tomorow to like if its past 70

Get a heat lamp from a pet store and set it up above the stack of skate so as to your peeling its heating up the next skate board
I have never subscribed to a single channel until today!! Best and most unique channel!!!!!
I love everything about this. The shipping container workshop, the design of your work, the workflow, the editing and of course the final result. Great work!
Nice work. Perfect colorful look for the hippy era 🤘
Do you think a screen printing oven would work to speed up the grip tape removal?
From trash to treasure! amazing craftsmanship.
There is still time to cut a thin veneer of your "skateboard glueing" and put it on the headstock ! A matching headstock would be mad !
Didtok Nan definately do it.
YES,YES,YES!!!!!!!!!
Or grip tape
Kyle Kampman that’s a great idea too.
I'd have use some griptape to keep the theme going
Beautiful build my friend. Thanks for sharing the project. Your patience in your build process is amazing. Just seeing the work involved in preparing the wood for the project,
Incredible accuracy! Can’t wait to be a woodworker with your levels of attention to detail.

Dope!! Everything from editing, to the craft to the music. Keep putting the work in!
Thank you I really appreciate it!
Great editing yet again! And sweet diamond design using the layers of the boards. Well done!
Nice!!! Job well done. Funny how most "Plywood" guitars are cheaply made beginner models but this is so rad and nice! The best kind of plies of wood IMHO..
It just never gets old... Love the colors

Dude, what's the track at 3:00 ? Thanks
Excelente Projeto!!! Uma transformação ESPETACULAR. Parabéns, uma obra de arte única e magnífica.

I am always impressed at how efficiently you use that small space. Sometimes it just looks bigger than it actually is.

Ben, you did an excellent job! Truly proud of you!

Unreal! So many things you could do once you have the deck stock! Awesome!
one of my favorite channels. nice CNC upgrade.

Excellent work. Love your projects.
Love your work space
Darn, this was fun to watch! Way to go! Liked the music, editing and subject matter. Great video
You are very creative and love what you're doing, you do it well and I love your creativity and channel!!!
Looks cool. WHat kind of wood do they use to make skateboards?
Awesome build!
As my old wood shop teacher used to say, "THOSE FINGERS ARE GOING TO FLY!" You might want to use a push stick on that table saw.
I was thinking the same thing. Lol.
Wow. A plywood guitar. How innovative.
Nice build, Ben
Beautiful results.

Les paul body made of skateboards with a 6 in line headstock and fixed strat-style bridge. What a trip.
Awesome channel and great build.
SICK!!!! What did the body end up weighing
Thats a really nice headstock shape
Man that might be one of the coolest things I've ever seen.. thinkin of trying fractal burning on an old body , wonder if its gonna work...
Ware is the link for the guitar parts I see all the links for the tools and the music ( awesome music by the way) but no guitar link?
Sweet looking guitar awesome job
what sort of glue was used to get all the boards together on one block?
WD: I really don't like guitar construction videos however I love watching your creative mind come up with new ideas to make things from skateboards! You truly have an original entertaining channel ! Im also a proud supporter of Grizzly tools in my shop! Thank you for sharing your talents!
Where do you source all the old skate decks from?

Guitar for decoration or for playing?
So hyped someone did this
This is a lot better execution than other attempts ive seen. This actually looks like it was made from recycled boards rather than a bunch of planks
Where do you get all the broken boards?
Very cool. Having been building, modifying, and hot-rodding basses and guitars for 30+ years - that is some really nice work. What did you use for your RF shielding in the control cavity, and what brand of pickups did you use?
So it's more than a guitar made of broken skateboard , it's a guitar made of skateboard used by skateboarders imbued from their skill and fail , a part of untold history.
I love that.
You've just thought way further, liked that :)
Hello ! do you sell some blanks for guitars (like yours) or Tops (thinner) to glue on blanks like LesPaul guitars.. ??
Да дружище. Хороша гитара. Посмотрел с огромным удовольствием 🔥✊
Beautiful guitar
I love the editing
Great work man amazing
such a beautiful guitar!!!
one of the sickest guitars i have ever seen.
Couldn't have picked a better guitar body design, awesome work bro.
Is that mallet on the wall behind you made from recycled skateboard as well?
The pink 3m pad is only a dust pad. You need the activated charcoal respirator cartridge for paint. Little tip from body tech/painter.
Excelente trabajo.
It's about damn time, hell yeah Woby Design!!!!
Fun to watch. Amazing work. Where do you get all those broken skateboards?
Have you considered getting one of those old school heaters? I don’t know what they’re called but it’s a box with toaster-like wires that get red hot. Seems like it could make for a good little grip tape removal set up
sick work man!
Soooo awesome! Great video!
i love how that diamond shape came out almost dead center!
WOBY! Heck-to-the-YEAH! Sweet editing and stellar project!
Great job. Nice looking guitar. You make woodworking look so easy. I hope to be there one day. Can’t wait for your next video.
Nice job! Amazing work! 👏👏👏
I can't believe you got the edge to test your guitar, that's pretty rad.
very cool build, love the concept of your channel. I bet people ask you all the time, but where do you get all the broken skateboards?
So amazing 😍 i love it
Leo Fender would be amazed by this 😆
WOBY ROCKS!!
Very Nice build.
Just curious, where do you get all the broken skateboard decks from?
Could t you bake the boards at a low temp to remove the grip tape?
how much does it weigh when your done? how thick is the body? nice work
beautiful work.
Where did you get all of those skateboards???
Looks gorgeous Ben!!!
💯😋👌
Great job!!!
I think for LP body shape it would be better to do 3+3 type headstock.
Nice editing
CNC you should build a neck plus for you next build a neck through would be killer
With the multi laminate color scheme This is killer man
I built a neck out of some of Ben's cutoffs in exchange for the kit he used: th-cam.com/video/pQyQLVS39RU/w-d-xo.html
On account of dovetailing interests, liked and subscribed!
Tim Sway is a great bloke...and a good musician as well.
could you have used a space heater to warm up the stack of boards so you'd spend less time with that heat gun or would it not have made a difference?
Love your work
So awesome man!
