I was like “ughhh…he’s glassing in the boxes after the lam” but you put cloth over the boxes. Looks super clean! Last video I watched the shaper put the fin boxes in during the hot coat, seems that it wouldn’t be nearly as strong.
I almost always do boxes post lam when I’m working with tint. Looks cleaner and if you can’t see and air bubbles in the boxes through the tint then sand them open it looks messy. You can do it at hotcoat stage but you need to sand right back to glass fibre to get a mechanical bond.
Haha it does look like it. The stringer had a bit of a blow out and there was some missing and a little hole so I couldn’t even paint the foam to make it look like a fake stringer 😅
hey mate, awesome videos, really helps a young dude like myself shaping and glassing a surfboard for the first time. can you do a video where you run through all your equipment and the system you have running with the planer? thanks heaps
Thanks man. Glad they're helping. Im in the process of doing a bunch a tutorials for my unpublished website. Ill add this on to the list. just keep an eye out for when I go live with it all. Yew!
Watching from Perth & Kinross Scotland, I’m not quite sure that would work shaped as a Swallow Round pin.Cheers What an AWSOME resin tint, loving the uploads. I Would love to see a ‘Step Tail ‘ shape They we’re done in Hawaii in the late 80’s.( A Squash tail shape but with a step on the bottom starting 3/4” max from tail towards the rear fin, in the shape of a round pin about a 1/4” in depth, about 3 1/4” in length towards the fins.🔥🤙 Oh what have you done to you’re hair m8 what conditioner are you using😁😂🤣😂👍
How good! Loved this. Seen lots of shapers not use cloth over the fin boxes. I see you did. I glass over mine when doing repairs. What’s your opinion on cloth over or not using cloth over? Thanks bro. Yeow! From Taranaki New Zealand
Yessss so sick man, resin swirl bottom with a white top is so clean, hate it when guys do both the bottom and top, comes out in a brown mismatched ugly mess
Yeh they can get pretty messy. I kinda had a brain fart with this one and did orange and green which is usually a bad combo. Turns to brown. Won’t make that mistake again …
Great videos, thanks for sharing these.! Do you ever brush a "paste" like clear coat on before hot coating.? If so what is this paste.? Thanks, cheers.!!
you are the goat i'm learning so much. I really really wonder what kind of marker you use for the stringer and pin? Acrylic? And doesn't the pin line wear off quickly?
Good stuff mate. The pens I use are called posca paint pens. After I do pin line and dimensions I always put a clear acrylic sealer over the top. Lasts longer than the boards haha 🤙
Lovely looking board mate! I have a few dumb questions about doing resin swirl jobs with epoxy. Do you mix up the resin with the hardener before adding the pigments? Did you do a practice run with the colours to see what works or is it sheer talent?? What kind of pigments do you find work best? I'm hoping to do a swirl job on my next board but dont want it to turn into brown sludge...
With epoxy I would just mix the part A and part B before the pigment as you have heaps of time generally. I don’t normally do any practice but knowing how colours mix helps. Green and orange can make brown… Surfboard specific tints work. I don’t use powders. With swirls it’s always better to have excess resin. Where the colour lands is what’ll be. Try to pull the resin off the board without it going over other colours/resin to prevent muddling. I use a rag to wipe my squeegee off every pull. I have a video with a resin swirl and channels that might help a bit too. Just have a search in my videos list 🤙
Hey man, nice vid as always. Do you blow dry your posca pinlines so they dry quickly and prevent leaking under the tape? I just did a black posca pinline and it leached like a bastard!!
Yeh I blow dry them mostly just to speed the drying process up. Did you do the pinline on top of the fill coat? It’ll leach under the tape if it isn’t pushed down hard enough and if it hasn’t been sanded to a high grit. I normally sand the area where the pin line goes with 240 to remove the big scratches and that normally helps.
Great work. I'm interested in the router bit. Where can i find that specific router bit with that length of cut. Seams the router bit is sanding type...Can you give me the link... thank you
Are you talking about the template router bit? It’s just a straight shank 3 1/2 inch from eBay. Cant give you a link but just have a quick search on eBay and you will find them pretty easy.
You're an incredibly talented shaper! Such a process. Can I ask, what do you call that tool at 5:58 that looks like it locks to hold tension, shaping a uniform deep concave? Did you make that yourself? Learn so much watching your vids dude! Keep it up, it's inspiring (damn dude! using a rounded rasp to edge down the nose/tail stringer, then blending it out! so cool) (and bending that razor blade)
Thanks man. The tool is a concave / convex sanding tool. I actually purchased this online but making one shouldn’t be too hard. If I get a chance I’ll do a video on making it
Beautiful board builds. Just watched all your vids. Hey when you wash your board off before final hot coat are you just using water or are you using any soap? My amateur builds i always have issues with dust and dirt left over. THX
Thanks man. I normally just spray them with water. Let them dry and then wipe down with a clean rag. Sometimes soap will react badly with resin. You can even just blow the dust off with an air compressor. Try to use gloves or something whenever touching to help with the contamination 🤙
one of the things I really appreciate about your channel are the groovy tracks kind of generic, not too niche, physically groovy and enjoyable I mute SO many surfing clips because the music is just NOT my vibe haha
Great job, mate. This might be a stupid question, but...what do you think about using a cloth fabric instead of fiberglass? I've seen on the internet that there are shapers that create low enviromental impact boards using flax fabric for example. Taking into account that the mixture of the resin and the fabric is what gives strength to the final result, it doesnt sound so crazy to me to use flax, cotton or any regular fabric that is used for creating clothes.
You can definitely use those fabrics. The only thing with them is generally you’ll still need to do at least one layer of fibreglass over the top for sanding. They don’t like to be sanded as if you hit them the fuzz up
Enjoying and learning from your clips! question: what is your reasoning for putting in the fin boxes AFTER you glass? Most of what I have seen it is done before glassing. just curious as to your reasoning Mahalo, Mike in Hawaii.
I’ll always install pre glass if it’s a clear board but for colour resin work I’ll do it post glass. Reason is because if you miss any air bubbles ( because sometimes you can’t see through the pigment resin ) and you then sand the air bubbles open it leaves the area around the fin boxes looking sloppy/messy.
Lovely board and resin job, great video too! But that rear fin placement looks pretty far back to me (note: I surf, don't shape boards so take my comment with a grain of salt). THanks for sharing and putting these out there!
Thanks mate. And very observant and correct about the fin placement. Although this might look like a standard thruster set up I actually did the fin box placement as a twin with a centre box for a stabiliser option. So the fins are further back for this reason. 🤙
Love the result. Quick question is how do u mix your resin? Do u have regular resin in the big container that u pour the colored resin into and then swirl or do you just pour in the colored resin into an empty container and mix?
Great vid as usual! Love the "tube" feature on you pastic shaper's square. Is it originaly made it like this, or your idea? It makes fin marking way easier and accurate I think.. Cheers
Thanks mate. It’s made like this. This one measures in from the rail instead of out from the stringer. Sometimes stringers have some wobble and this puts your boxes exactly same distance from the rail on either side 🤘
Yeh man. So with colour work I install after the lam. With a tinted resin it can be hard to see any air bubbles around the boxes and if you miss these and open them up when sanding it looks real messy. I only fill coat the deck and leave the bottom. This is just a way to make sure the deck is protected when I’m routing out the boxes and doesn’t get any dirt/dust/smudges on the lam.
Haha thanks. It went Vee in the nose to single under chest then double through fins to flat off tail. I was considering doing Vee off tail but thought I’d keep it flat as I’m going to run upright twins and didn’t want to make it too loose
The concave jig is a really really smart move!
🤘
bending the razor blade - GENIUS!
Being a woodworker I very much appreciate the use of template and router flush trim. Especially to get a perfect outline.
🤙
Pattern routing the outline from a template is a great hack!
If your templates are perfect then using the router means perfect outlines every time!
Such a sick swirl, I need to do more they are always fun.
Always. And you never know how they’re going to turn out. Everyone is completely abstract and unique
Bro… you are crazy, cant wait to see more!
Haha thanks man 🤙
Bro, I never get tired watching the time lapses, it's pure art and my mojo! Cheers for the quality videos!!!

Hey man - love the video as always. Few qs:
Do you use an on-the-fly adjustable planer?
Why don’t you draw rail bands?
It is on the fly adjustable. I do draw the first rail bands but I scratch them on rather than use pen or pencil. Just a light scratch
Where do you get your blanks from? Do you think it’s fine to just order one online?
Just the local surf supply shop. Yeh it’s fine to order online if there isn’t anywhere close to buy from.
What program tou using to make the outline man ?
I generally use one of three. Either blending curves or if I design my own either IShaper app or shape3d

Fin box install after lam and hot coat?
Yeh man. So with colour work I install after the lam. With a tinted resin it can be hard to see any air bubbles around the boxes and if you miss these and open them up when sanding it looks real messy. I only fill coat the deck and leave the bottom. This is just a way to make sure the deck is protected when I’m routing out the boxes and doesn’t get any dirt/dust/smudges on the lam.
@@Shrednaught Awesome. Many thanks.
whats the difference between the blanks you buy, and a machine blank
A machined blank is no different but it has been cut on a cnc machine to get the shape. I think that’s what you’re asking?
Bro, great videos!
I have questions:
Do you use acrylic paint with a resin, or this is special paint?
It’s a resin tint. Purchased specially for surfboard resin
@@Shrednaught thank you!
🤙
How long did it take you to make??
Shaping took about 4 hours and the glassing sanding process about 4-5 days. I like to let it cure 12hrs between bottom skin and prep sand.
What tint do you use.
I believe this was shapers in house surfboard tint
@@Shrednaught Thanks for the tip. You are a true artist. Your work is mesmerizing.
hahah lawsuit coming in, lovely board, what kind of bottom contour did you do between the fins? Flat? It was a great watch.
Haha thanks. It went Vee in the nose to single under chest then double through fins to flat off tail. I was considering doing Vee off tail but thought I’d keep it flat as I’m going to run upright twins and didn’t want to make it too loose
I bet these last posca lines and writing will go off easily, or I skipped something?
I seal them with a clear acrylic sealer 🤙
How to shape a fish fin surfboard?
Round pin fish?
Yeh what you think? I’m on the fence with that name but it’s a fish template until the tail.
@@Shrednaught how about a Mermaid ? Half fish half something ?
Haha I like it!
isn't a fish a swallow tail? what is a round pin fish?
Just a fish template and instead of a swallow I put a round tail on. Then I made up a random name and called it a round pin fish 🤣
So sick… you must be rolling in the money using 75$ plywood for your template tho 😂
Heh once you have the template it's going to last all his life
Hahah man that’s all they had. Think it was 30 bucks for the sheet. I had to bite the bullet for this
@@hommedesdunes1150 Masonite will also last his life… plywood is expensive af where I am it’s 75$ a sheet
