    Hello, I’m planning my own build, and this video is a great resource. Well done!. I’m considering the orientation of the ribs to support the track box and tie it to the deck, was there a reason why you went perpendicular to the centre line of the board rather than parallel to it? (8mins 20 seconds)

  • @matshape
    @matshape5 күн бұрын

    I did both in the past, both work, but perpendicular uses less HD foam and helps to tie the boxes together.

    Great video! Is there a reason that you put the 300g biaxial patch on the top? I would have thought there would need to be less sanding and filling if it was underneath the other layers.

  • @matshape
    @matshape8 күн бұрын

    thanks. As there is extra thickness, there will be a step that needs to be blended. if the patch was below, when blending it, you'd risk sanding through the fibers of the full layer disconnecting the patch from the rest, but with the patch on top, no risk, the full layer stays continuous.

    Super bravo...on sent bien que ce n'est pas la première que vous construisez.. ce qui est étonnant, autant de travail pour un flotteur qui ne touche même pas l'eau... c'est quand même important le nombre de couches de carbone, expoxy, résine...dommage pour la finition blanche du flotteur qui jure un peu avec toute la qualité que vous avez engrangée pour la réussite de ce flotteur...

    Can you explain your track placement some please? I see you find the CG, but how do you offset tracks from that?

  • @matshape
    @matshape24 күн бұрын

    It depends on the foil you're using, your preferred stance and the volume of the board. If the volume is close to your weight, you want to be standing on top of the CG = center of buoyancy, with more volume, you can stand a few inch behind to let the nose float better without sinking the tail too much. Now that you have your back foot position, you get your mast position, center the box there and you'll have the most adjustment possible. for reference, I'm ~73kg, that board is 115l, I set the center of the box 16in behind the center. On my previous ~85l, it was 11in behind center.

    Good job, nice board. I have a question, with a wind surf board, do you think I can converted it as a downwind foil?

  • @matshape
    @matshapeАй бұрын

    That's not impossible, but quite a challenge, and not sure the result would be worth it. If it is a regular windsurf, adding foil box is tricky as you'd have to tie in the existing structure of the board, the width might also be an issue, if it's too wide, you can cut down the outline, but it will be close to impossible to get smooth rails after you're done shaping/glassing new one. Finally, most windsurf boards are build much stronger than a downwind foil needs to be, so probably too heavy. I really think your time will be better invested making a board from scratch, and not end up much more expensive...

  • @matshape
    @matshapeАй бұрын

    thanks! less dust and no epoxy on the floor... good criteria when working in an apartment. For the hotwire, the current is what matters to get the right temperature and depending on the length, the tension will be different. A given wire gage needs a certain current to get the temperature you want. So depending on your power supply max voltage, there's a max length you can make your hotwire.

    Can you share how you made the v groove cutter?

  • @matshape
    @matshapeАй бұрын

    it's is quite simple, just a small piece of 20 awg nichrome wire, bent to get the right groove depth with round loops at each side. Then the 2 screws sandwich the loops at the end of the wire the long wires to the power supply. finally I adjust the power supply voltage/ amps to get 6 to 7 A (the wire length will dictate the voltage). That nichrome wire is not very rigid, so it's important to get it hot and let it melt the polystyrene ahead when you move or it will bend back.

    not unless it's 100% needed like for a surfboard with different colored laminations (with glass) bottom lamination on this one is some kind of cutlap except i didn't put tape on the boundary and relied on the extra thickness of the wood sandwich. As you can't see through carbon, cutting the lap along a tape before the resin cures is not very doable anyway, the best way for cutlaps on carbon is to use several layers of tape, let the resin harden and sand down to the tape... so kind of what i did :)
