Good see a proper hand shaped board ;) so many new scrapers calling them self's shapers these days ;) That glassing rack is killing me but you gota upgrade to a height adjustable one they are wonders on your back ;)
Haha yeh the glassing rack is a bit average. One day I’ll get around to getting a new one. I have pulled my back once already trying to wrap the rails.
First time I have watched on of your videos So good ! About to shape my second board , first board was when I was fifteen Iam now 56 ! Love to know a low down on the tools you use Cheers
Awesome! I love how you don't seem to measure much. Recent board I shaped I tried to rely more on my intuition instead of on my measurements. It came out so much better and was much more enjoyable. Seeing you do the rails without marks, dang! Would love to see a vid on how you make that fin. Especially the part that goes into the finbox seems hard to make!
I do take a few measurements but I’m not a numbers guy. Some guys are some guys are not. I like to use my eyes and personally I think shaping to my eye is far better and easier than stopping and chasing numbers. I’ll definitely do some fin vids in the future 🤙
Glad I’m helping ya through it. Must suck man but stay positive 🤙 Haha yeh I got them from an old school shaper in town. Super yellow on the outside but still bright and white inside
Awesome board, once again... I'm new into shaping, at least I'm collecting materials and knowledge to start over... So please don't get me wrong, maybe you call me stupid... Got a question on this little channel on the tail at 5.35: what are the benefits of thiy tiny detail? does it help for water release behind the center fin and makes a better straight forward or is it just a fancy cosmetic thing... Thanx for sharing! Dom
I appreciate your videos from France ! What is the tool you use at 4'48 ??? it's very interesting : i gess to make the vee... i am looking for precise and detailed information on the vee, reading advice ?
The way they come from the supplier they have sharp 90 corners that can sometimes catch on the glass and pull it when laminating. The rounded edges I cut into them stops that.
Awesome vid my man! Smooth and calm style. In love with that bottom contour tool, it seems to take the guess work out of it and assure you are going to get a symmetric result....I have only shaped one board so far and took the concavity a bit too far...IMO...it seems like less is more is single to double, etc...before you had that tool what was your technique for making symmetric concaves...if you don't mind me picking your brain, mate... Keep up the fantastic shaping! If I lived in Ozzy or Hawaii I try to get a board from ya but I'm all the way on the east coast of US with constant crap waves!
Thanks mate, Before the concave tool I’d try rough it out with the planer with a few shallow cuts. Then blend in with a curved block and 40grit moving to a med soft then to soft pad nose to tail
Another great video, good tunes too! I echo what others have said, you can probably do separate videos on rails, fins, fin box installs etc. I noticed you use the plunge router for the centre fin but a laminate trimmer for the side fins? What's the reason behind that?
The futures strong box single fin has a router but that is 1/2 inch and only fits a plunge router. It needs more grunt as the bit is huge. The standard sized futures boxes are 1/4inch so trim router is the go 🤘
Hey love your videos. Nice to see someone helping us out that are not pros. Is your sander a DA or random orbital. Do you prefer that than the rotary sander ? Love your work.
Thanks mate. I try to use the mirka as it has dust extraction and I’ve only got my shaping bay to sand in so I need that. It’s random. The rotary is quicker and I do use it for plugs and boxes but with the mirka it leave a far better finish and is far more ergonomic for long times on the tool.. although a bit slower at stock removal.
I'm shaping my first board and your shape at 6:50 is FKNG perfect compared to mine HAHA I think I'll sand a little more before glassing : ) I think this is PU vs EPS but also.. a little more sanding
Just watching this video again for like the 10th time as I am about to start my second board and it is a 7.6 with a squash tail. so you have a bit of a V at the nose and the tail and the convex starts about 12" from the nose and runs 2/3 of the board where you got a flat bit just before the V in the tail? Also man you have to show us how to make your convex shappeing tool that is the most asked about tool you use in all the videos. All so sorry for asking so many questions as I am trying to learn but a super big tank you for making these videos and also the way you answer every question asked. and i ripped some T shirts as I am starting to think you need a ripped T shirt to build class boards.
Ripped shirt is essential. For these style of boards I feel that keeping them simple is enough. A touch of V to help initiate rail to rail but overall just a simple bottom. It was designed to just cruise on the smallest of days so it isn’t going 6 to 12 and hitting the lip. Flat bottom works fine. I think sometimes it’s easy to over complicate things ( not just surfboards ) 😅
Thank you sir. I am looking forward to this challenge and learning. But there is so much to learn and I am finding it a steep learning curve your videos are super helpful and good craic to watch. And do not leave it to long before you make that ( how ot make a convix shaping tool) vidoe.
Great video again man. Love the colour. Did you cut the cloth around the boxes so it sat down on the board rather than up and onto the fin boxes? Another good tip!! I’ve been using your fill coat wrapping the rail tip and it’s been super helpful. Love it man! Yeww! 🤙🏼
Yeh man. Around the single fin the glass tents up on the flange heaps and can cause bubbles. The flange part gets ground away in the end anyway so I just lay the glass flush along the base section to keep it flat. I also cut the slots on the second layer as well to push the air out
It is still green. It’s not tacky to the touch but it’s not full cure. You kinda need to time it right with 6oz glass. With 4oz you can get away with leaving it to cure. 🤙
Quality tape is the biggest help. I use 3m 233+ green. Make sure the board is clean and free from dust and when you’ve laid your tape down give it a gentle push down with the back of a razor or pop stick to get it to adhere properly. 🤙
Yeh, 99% of my shapes are hand shaped. There isn’t a way to tell volume as that is a computer ( CNC shaping )program that spits those numbers out. You can obviously get a pretty close guess but most of the time people get boards from me with a set of dimensions in mind and we just work with that.
Love the videos, and I'm just wondering if you still have the first board you shaped and how different were your shaping techniques then compared to now.
Thanks Mark. I don’t have my first one. And I still regret it to this day. It was an absolute dog so I cut it up and reshaped it. I’m very different now in my confidence and overall work flow.
Yew! Thanks man. You can go to blending curves website and grab some for free. The other alternative is to download an app call IShaper. It allows you to create templates and download for free on your phone.
Hey mate, The futures fins boxes have zero can’t built into them and the cant comes built into the actual fins. So whatever fins were chosen to be used in the board would have the desired Cant 🤙
Hey first of all its an awsome board! What tool is it to shape the V-Bottom at the Tail an the Single-Concave at the Nose? Would be great if you can tell how you made it or where to buy!
Thanks. The tool is a concave sanding tool and you should be able to find one at most surf suppliers . Just have a look around on the internet and it won’t take you long to find. Definitely worth it 🤙
Great stuff, watching your video's really makes me want to shape my own board! Question on your process, with this board you planed your thickness before cutting the outline, where I think on some of your other boards you cut the outline first. Any reason for this?
I generally always skin the bottom before cutting the outline but on this I was subject to using a blank that was slightly over size. It was all I could get hold of. So before I cut the template I made sure I had the rocker and thickness/foil some where close to what I wanted. If I had a close tolerance blank I wouldn’t have had to do any of those extra steps.
There is a couple of little hints in the video. Always do you’re best with the prep before fill coats. But I find wrapping the top fill coat around the rails then sanding the laps flush before the next fill coat helps. As does a cheater coat before fill coat as well.
All is well, Thanks mate. I’ve just got another kid on the way so I’ve had to take up a “proper” job. This leaves me with very little time for anything else unfortunately.
Yewww! Super Clean mate! what grit did you use for sanding the cut lap? i always have trouble on the nose area that its not flat enough, after glassing the bottom and laminating the deck, seems more bubble will build up on the cut lap in the nose. cheers
I use 80 grit mirka pads. If standard paper is probably use 120. Yeh the nose and tail are where the glass gets all bunched up. Getting nice relief cuts and focusing on the area for a bit after the board is completely lammed can help this out.
@@Shrednaught by the way did you use 4oz plus 4oz for the patch on the bottom? hopefully WA will open its border soon, keen on your shaping and surfing sesh. Cheers!
Na I never put filler in the lam. When I do my fill coat I push it around the bottom and onto the laps. Then once cure I’ll flip it and sand the laps flush.
super video man thanks. I am just finshed glassing my first board going to add the fins next and it scares me as i will have to drill into the board> I am going using the fin boxs that are like leash plugs so how do i know i have drilled eught?
Do you mean fcs1 plugs? They should have little tabs on them to show you how far you can sink them into the board. You want them as deep as you can get them without drilling through the other side and with out sinking them in resin 👌
@@Shrednaught yes sir they are fcs 1 plugs as the guy in the surf supplyer shop said are the easy ones to use for my first build. so i will just tape my drill bit to show how far i need to go down. thanks again for all the help.
a little single concave to basically flat to... slight vee? couldnt really tell what ya had goin on there in the tail. Anyways, thats a good formula for a nice egg. how do you feel about concave all the way through on mid lengths?
Yup you got it mate. Single in the nose to flat with some V out the tail. The request was for a cruiser that he could get some cheater 5’s on if possible. Single all the way will work it just depends on the board setup and how you want it to surf. I’ve got a personal midlength that is basically just a big shortboard. Single to double to v
Shrednaught key words “if possible” haha. I have an old 6’6 pintail egg with same basic idea one of the best boards I’ve ever surfed. A lot more vee in front of the fin though, that can be key
Haha yeh I always say it’s possible if you’re good enough 🤣 I think this will be a board for his girlfriend to learn on as well so tbh I tried to keep things fairly simple. It’s hard when you’re trying to get best of both worlds on the one board 😅
Great board and great video, thanks for sharing! just would like to ask you the model of the Mirka sander and which grit you use to grind the bottom laps, cheers
@@Shrednaught another question mate :) is this tool good for vibration? I own a Bosch dual mode turbo sander but my main problem is that it is heavy and produces a ot of vibration resulting in hand problems :( this one seems light and perfect, is it?
This one is the best in the market for vibration. They even have an app that can connect to Bluetooth on the tool and monitor it. I highly rate this tool
exactly the mid-length shape I have been looking for!
"Why do I not have any eyebrows?" LOL - that one got me! Love it! 😂
dang, found this channel too late. Love the vids. wish there were more of them!
Dude that board looks sick
So relaxing to watch you create a board. Love the process and love your end result.
Thanks mate 🤙
That concave/convex sandingblock, would love to see how that works.
Nice fun board
Definitely. Summer sled 🤘
The stuff of dreams… you should make a vid on how you calculate your rails. You’re a wizard
Yew! Thanks mate. I’ll try get a video done on rails In the future
another killer build thanks music was cool
Thanks mate 🤙
No pinline needed and the cutlap came out decent, nice!
Thanks 🤙
Good see a proper hand shaped board ;) so many new scrapers calling them self's shapers these days ;) That glassing rack is killing me but you gota upgrade to a height adjustable one they are wonders on your back ;)
Haha yeh the glassing rack is a bit average. One day I’ll get around to getting a new one. I have pulled my back once already trying to wrap the rails.
@@Shrednaught yep last 32 years of glassing ive done it heaps of times 😂🤦♂️
Killer dude, love the coffee color
Thanks mate. 🤙
First time I have watched on of your videos
So good ! About to shape my second board , first board was when I was fifteen Iam now 56 !
Love to know a low down on the tools you use
Cheers
Amazing video. Very clean. Greetings from Uruguay
Thanks mate 🤙
Wish this had no music and just the shaping sounds 🙏 the only thing that puts me to sleep at night 🥱😴
Haha sorry mate.. 🤘
I'm loving these videos. Keep it up man, learning loads. 🤙
Absolutely beautiful board
So methodical i love watching a true craftsman at work it's very satisfying 👍
Thanks Richard 🤙
You make it look so easy! About to start shaping my first, love your channel 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Thanks mate. I didn’t make it look that good when I first started 😅
Good luck with your first 🤙
loving the videos, too excited for my birthday, when i get my materials to build my own
Yew! What are you going to make?
I dream to do it myself one day, until then it’s so good to see you and learn. Great content
Thanks John. If you ever need any tips one day just hit me up 🤙
so cool ! so chill ! so thanks )
That is a really cool understated build.Your mate is a lucky dude.
Yew! Thanks man
Super cool! Take care.
Love your videos man. Ive never shaped a board before but I want to do it. Can you post a video on equipment, materials needed to do it? Thanks.
Awesome! I love how you don't seem to measure much. Recent board I shaped I tried to rely more on my intuition instead of on my measurements. It came out so much better and was much more enjoyable. Seeing you do the rails without marks, dang!

I’ll definitely do some fin vids in the future 🤙
Your videos have helped me learn fiberglass more than any other youtube channel. Thanks for taking the time to post these.
All good mate. Glad to be a help 🤙
Great video mate 👍👍
Love this board! Great work man.
Thanks mate 🤙
perfect
🤘
Shrednaught notifications on! Fire is always mate. Making lockdown bearable. Those are some yellowed looking blanks in your rack haha.
Glad I’m helping ya through it. Must suck man but stay positive 🤙
Haha yeh I got them from an old school shaper in town. Super yellow on the outside but still bright and white inside
love the shape and the clean look! great job
Thanks mate
I need a board like this.The color is amazing
Yew! Yeh I’m frothing the colour so much. It was an almond colour tint and I added a dash of brown.
Beautiful board. 👏👏👏 Love your builds. Great style.
Thanks mate 🤙
@@Shrednaught Do you ship to the US?
Na sorry mate I don’t.
Worth a shot. 🤣 Keep up the great work!

super helpful videos for one just beginning to learn about the shaping process. Thanks
Thanks mate. 🤙
thx for doing that yew

Awesome board, once again...
I'm new into shaping, at least I'm collecting materials and knowledge to start over...
So please don't get me wrong, maybe you call me stupid...
Got a question on this little channel on the tail at 5.35:
what are the benefits of thiy tiny detail?
does it help for water release behind the center fin and makes a better straight forward or is it just a fancy cosmetic thing...
Thanx for sharing!
Dom
Pretty sure he’s just using a file to take down the wood stringer and then sanding down the foam around it to match
perfect
Thanks 🤙
Sweet. Have you ever used channels or a concave nose?
Yeh I used both. This board actually had a little concave in the nose the help with a cheater five style. Nothing too serious though.
I appreciate your videos from France !
What is the tool you use at 4'48 ??? it's very interesting : i gess to make the vee...
i am looking for precise and detailed information on the vee, reading advice ?
Why do you cut the corners of your squeegee?

If it’s your first don’t stress too much. Just take your time before glassing and make sure it’s exactly how you want it and I’m sure it’ll be sweet 🤘
Very nice color,Will you show us how to make one of those Woody fins?, Thanks
I’ll do a video on it in the future for sure 🤙
Anyone mind telling me the song list
Btw great loookin board mate 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

Awesome!! How long to do this board? (Start to finish) thx
A week. Couldn’t tell you exactly the hours as a lot of time is waiting for resin to cure.
Bro! you forgot the shot of bending the razor before cutting the lap! classic shot opportunity missed, right? lol
normally you nail it!
😅
Great video again man. Love the colour. Did you cut the cloth around the boxes so it sat down on the board rather than up and onto the fin boxes? Another good tip!! I’ve been using your fill coat wrapping the rail tip and it’s been super helpful. Love it man! Yeww! 🤙🏼
Yeh man. Around the single fin the glass tents up on the flange heaps and can cause bubbles. The flange part gets ground away in the end anyway so I just lay the glass flush along the base section to keep it flat. I also cut the slots on the second layer as well to push the air out
Legend. Thanks for tip mate
Is the fiberglass still a little tacky when you turn it over to cut the lap? (Great video kid!)
It is still green. It’s not tacky to the touch but it’s not full cure. You kinda need to time it right with 6oz glass. With 4oz you can get away with leaving it to cure. 🤙
@@Shrednaught Thanks!
any recommendations to avoid color bleeding at the cutlap? your cutlaps look so clean!
Quality tape is the biggest help. I use 3m 233+ green. Make sure the board is clean and free from dust and when you’ve laid your tape down give it a gentle push down with the back of a razor or pop stick to get it to adhere properly.
🤙
is there a reason you don't write down the litreage with the other dimensions on the board?
Yeh, 99% of my shapes are hand shaped. There isn’t a way to tell volume as that is a computer ( CNC shaping )program that spits those numbers out. You can obviously get a pretty close guess but most of the time people get boards from me with a set of dimensions in mind and we just work with that.
Hi mate, did you use 4oz or 6oz on the fin box patch? looking forward to the next vid. Cheers!
6oz from memory 🤘

Why do I have skyblue t-brows?
Do you have fin cant on the sidebites?

@@Shrednaught yeah, did notice that little trick - smart. Reckon it would work the same with epoxy, given it doesn't sand as well until fully cured?
Yeh it works with epoxy but you can also get away with flattening the Laps with epoxy with out it as epoxy is sandable straight up without filler

I’ll be back. As soon as I can get a minute haha thanks mate. You too 🤙
Is there any benefit in the water of polish or sanded finish?
Thank you for the vids
It can be debated that a sanded finish is slightly faster but there is opinion on that. It’s more just for how it looks out of the water.
Artist! How long on average does this process take from first shape to completion?
🤘🤘
beautiful board mate! what fin placement did you go for? around 5" center and 13" sidebites?
Thanks mate. Na I went closer to 6 /15 from memory. 🤙
Yewww! Super Clean mate! what grit did you use for sanding the cut lap? i always have trouble on the nose area that its not flat enough, after glassing the bottom and laminating the deck, seems more bubble will build up on the cut lap in the nose. cheers

Yeh they definitely do that. But depending on the cuts you can get more or less bunch up of glass underneath.
@@Shrednaught by the way did you use 4oz plus 4oz for the patch on the bottom? hopefully WA will open its border soon, keen on your shaping and surfing sesh. Cheers!
From memory it was 6oz bottom with the tint. Then 4oz patches
What is the materials you use to shape at the beginning ? I love you your videos are great and now I also build my own cause of you 😅
The foam is just a standard PU blank
@@Shrednaught no the foam I have I mean the materials you use to shape
Hey man noticed you really sand the lamination how do you stop the paper from clogging up? Or do you put a bit of filler in the lam mix ?
Na I never put filler in the lam. When I do my fill coat I push it around the bottom and onto the laps. Then once cure I’ll flip it and sand the laps flush.
Sick video🤙 Do you think using an orbital sander would to job when sanding the cut laps and hot coat?
Thanks mate. Yeh definitely.

Yeh man. It’s a concave / convex shaping block. You just screw/reverse the screw to bend the ply and that give you either concave or belly/Vee
@@Shrednaught i thought so, cheers for the reply :) love watching you shape. so much talent
@@Roofusone_ thanks mate 🤙
Where did you get that tool?
This tool is very interesting , could you show us in a vid to build this concave/ convex tool? Thx
Great board and great video, thanks for sharing! just would like to ask you the model of the Mirka sander and which grit you use to grind the bottom laps, cheers
It’s the mirka dero5 and I use mirka pads 80 grit 🤙
@@Shrednaught great work
@@Shrednaught another question mate :) is this tool good for vibration? I own a Bosch dual mode turbo sander but my main problem is that it is heavy and produces a ot of vibration resulting in hand problems :( this one seems light and perfect, is it?
This one is the best in the market for vibration. They even have an app that can connect to Bluetooth on the tool and monitor it. I highly rate this tool
Thanks 🤙
How’s this board end up going? Thinking about building similar dims. Not sure if I wanna do a 2+1 or bonzer though
Really good from what I’ve heard. Only running as a single fin. I’d personal leave it as a 2+1. A bonzer might benefit from a different plan shape
Do you use any type of acrylic or water based polyurethane sealer on your sand finished boards? Thank you
Yeh if it’s not a polish I’ll always chuck a sealer on. It generally improves the over all finished look.
What method do you use to apply the sealer, and can you recommend a type or brand? Thank You
