Thanks mate

Thank you 🙏

Thanks mate, and yeah those are good ideas. There's still a lot of stringer on show even with them in the way though 👌👌

Thanks!

Thank you. Appreciate that

Good luck with it. It's addictive!

Much appreciated. Got some other videos in the pipeline 👍

Appreciate that 👍

Thanks!

Thanks! A new video is in the works 🙌

Haha, well if you're learning something or enjoying it I'd say no time wasted 😉

all I could think about is all the boards I ruined because I rushed it trying to go surf :) lol@@Whitburn.Surfboards

Well spotted. Yeah, pretty stressful the first time I did it, but I find if you saturate the cloth around the box slowly, i.e not just dragging loads of resin over it, you're golden.

Glad you enjoyed it! That's a great question. The majority of people throw their brushes away after each use because it's easy and the brushes are cheap. Depending on the resin being used the brushes can be saved though. If you're using polyester resin then you can use acetone (not nice stuff), and epoxy white vinegar works well. I try to save every brush, but admit I do forget sometimes if I'm busy working on multiple things. If that happens I'll break the brush down, with the wooden handle becoming firewood, the metal part going in the recycling and the hardened bristles going in the bin.

@@Whitburn.Surfboards Thank you very much for the tips! Acetone sounds nasty indeed. Will be looking forward to the future videos, although realize this kind of projects may take a while!

@@1001Bull I have another video in the works but it's a really long one to make! Stay tuned

The first time I did it was by accident - forgot to tape the slot. Turns out if you saturate it carefully without flooding the slot then you can get away with it. Won't work with smaller side boxes, like futures as you'll definitely get resin in the screw hole. Thanks for watching!

Amazon, but I wouldn't recommend it. During use recently it bent, I think I'm lucky it didn't hurt me..

I modified the planer myself. Currently modifying another planer, this time a Hitachi p20sb. I use a grit barrel, which I find especially good with EPS foam

Thanks mate​@@Whitburn.Surfboards

I use an 18v at the mo. No cable to constantly get in the way and drive you nuts. But.... batteries don't last so looking at 230 and a mod. Great looking board , like your technique. 👍👍👍 As for the stringer, that's just something else. 👌

@@timdale4047 cheers mate! I used an 18v for a long time too and no cable was nice but the constant battery changes was a deal breaker for me. I have a Hitachi for sale if you are in need, or if you want to mod if yourself I can tell you the parts that I used for the mechanism

I saw a kit to mod a Makita online. USD 400 plus postage. Might be best to do it myself! 😂

It's a long router bit, but the shank ended up bending during use (wasn't even cutting any material at the time). I won't buy that bit again and won't recommend it as I consider it dangerous

I guess I'll mention it was a generic yellow router bit off Amazon in case anyone sees it and is tempted to buy it. Don't!

You're absolutely right, there's so much more to say. I could have spoken for the entire video and some! Masks are very important as you say, I like to use extraction systems when sanding and using the planer for that reason. I rarely use polyester resin but do always wear a mask when cutting fibreglass and using epoxy too. Appreciate your comments, I'm still learning and have a long way to go 👍

Thanks!

Thanks!
