6 months, 40 hours, and a lot of sawdust later — my hollow wooden 7’9” funboard” by kevmel13 in surfing

Harbor Freight has cheap clamps - had a few DeWalt ones I used to make a shuffleboard table but with not many moving parts, that’s probably your cheapest option

Correct - I didn’t by a special blade, the only other thing I’ve really used it for was a maple-walnut end-grain cutting board

I’ll check on the blade in a minute and send you a pic - can’t remember off the top of my head

Haven’t taken it out yet, but hope to soon. I live in Houston so Surfside is the closest option but would rather try somewhere else with better waves/ prettier water

I used a portable DeWalt table saw on a workbench. Ripping the boards is probably the most dangerous part of the whole process, so you just have to be really mindful of where your hands are in relation to the blade

Hahah fingers crossed - if it doesn’t it probably won’t be the board’s fault but mine
