@rsels14 I don't give a horses testicle what kind of wood I should use, it's up to me and it worked great.

You can get 1/4 inch plywood at your local department store for like 20 bucks for a huge sheet. More than enough to make a board.
Gorilla Wood Glue can range from 2.50 for a small bottle to 12 for a huge one.
Fiberglass and Fiberglass Resin together can easily cost around 20 or so dollars.
Sand Paper (Varying Grit) is around 2 bucks for a pack.
As for power tools, I'm assuming you already have them because they are quite pricey.

I love you're work, but how would one get concave and kick for the deck? Is it the sMe way you got the camber, or is it completely different

mute, sorry :(

@BoyleTonight what kind of wood did you use
-
do you fiberglass both sides?
-
what type of wood are you using and how many mm per peice

@BoyleTonight Awesome job, I'm trying to do the same as you did.
the only thing you did to curve it and make it concave is the sand bag? did you put it only in that part?
also what kind of wood did you use? when you put the wood together how long did you wait until it dry?
did it break when you use it? tell me please i wanna do one!
thanks man
at 0:59 you're drilling holes into the wood and I don't know why? can you help me out on that...

@IAmCaterpillar Hi!
I drilled the holes in only one of the two plys. I drilled these outside of the outline of the board for when I glued the two plys together. They are just for getting the screws in faster, so you don't HAVE to do it, but it helps :)

@BoyleTonight hello I was wondering how long did it take you to make this board and to get the board more stiff do you need to add more plus like 5 and good job and I'm viewing this video on iPod so I can't see any of the annotations you put up

@MrCrusiers It didn't take long, and if I had had all the tools and things I needed just when I started, it would go even quicker. Should be done in tops one week :)
I added fiberglass to the bottom and put a weight on the board while glueing the plys together to make it bend.
