How To Make Beautiful Climbing Holds With Just One Tool + Optional Dangerous Hack!
Satisfying DIY method of making wooden holds for climbing walls and home boards. You can pick up a plank of rough-sawn hardwood timber like the ~40mm thick piece of ash in this video from any timber merchant. The plank featured is about 10 to 15 quid's worth and would provide you with a load of holds....
Eye, ear and breathing protection strongly recommended for all techniques used here. Turbo shred at own risk! Or not at all if you've any sense.
The holds are drilled with a 5mm bit in the vid and will be attached to a plywood board using 5mm wood screws.

I laughed out loud at that moment in the video too. Glad you typed out the quote for all to see.
Comentating on minute 6:20 is absolutely brilliant
This is exactly what I needed! Thank you!
This is so good thank you for the tutorial!
Thank you. Help me a lot. Congrats from Brazil.
Great work mate!
Can't believe how great these look for the time it looks like it took you to use an angle grinder, been making a few myself using a hand sander and a grinder, I'm buying a wood sculpting disk for my angle grinder!

Great video mate. I've been using a rough rasp and hand sanders to shape my basic holds. I need a grinder like that.
Great jib w those. Thanks for adding your video to the group.

Holy s... When I see a good idea I can't forget it. Screw in a flap disc, just awesome and simple, thanks!!!

Just in case there's no sarcasm here (can't tell🤔🤭) it's a bad idea - clearly dangerous and stupid though more or less effective. Much better to use cheap solid metal sculpting discs that you can get on eBay, as others have pointed out.

No sarcasm at all, I think it's a good idea if you don't need to sculpt a lot, it's a good way of getting it done. Maybe you should be even more careful about the protections use.

Looks like a summer project to me
Gut gemacht,. Ich habe alles grob mit dem Axt bearbeitet , das spart Zeit. Dann die fertige noch mit Hilzleim beschichtet und Quarzsand drauf. Die sind seit 5 Jahren in Kletterhallen im Einsatz , und immer noch nicht abgenutzt. Viel Spaß. Mittig 10 Bohrung gemacht, und aus Sicherheitsgründen die Anliegefläche auch mit Hilzleim und ein Stück Stoff verklebt , falls plazt.
the sand disc with screws... a nice thing to hace to remove big chunks, thanks mate.
Nice vid, nice holds and high danger! I just bought a chain disc for my grinder a few months back, its so dangerous I wont use it until I find the guard I have never used.

@@mikemobley7257 tbh those things should be illegal. Chainsaws can kick back very easily and have a brake to cut the engine if this happens, where as a grinder will just keep going. Coarse sandpaper or a specialist wood carving disk is a much safer way to go if you're using a grinder.
soooooooooooooooo nice
i guess material wise if you're gonna make the moldes out of a solid, i gues wood would be the go too.

Never poured/cast holds myself but think silicone is the material of choice for the mould. I guess wood might work but could be tricky to get the hold out of the mould once set compared to flexible silicone?
Also what bit did you use for the nice countersink?

Well, I made the 4 holds shown in the same session. I didn't time it but using those tools and method I'd say roughly 30mins per hold. Smaller holds are obviously faster than bigger holds. Hope that helps
If the disk bursts your face will thank you. Pleas be careful with an angle grinder!
Just one tool, then comes out with pencil and ruler. Saw, drill, clamps etc.... Lol

If it hasn't got a battery or a plug, it's not a tool. Drills don't count either as everyone's got a drill? Therefore still stand by the fully accurate title ;)
