Step by Step
➀
Laser cut the skeleton from 6mm birch multiplex.
➁
Putting ribs and spine together for the skeleton.
➂
Print stencil for base and cover plate.
➃
Plane paulownia wood to 6mm thickness.
➄
Cut the base and cover plate to size, cut strips for rails.
Detailed Information
The skeleton is cut out of 6mm birch multiplex with the laser cutter and can then be put together.
The paulownia wood is also planed to 6mm.
Using a template of the outlines, the base plate is cut out with a jigsaw. Due to the bend, the top plate must be about 2cm wider on each side than the bottom plate. Therefore put the cut out bottom plate on the top plate and draw the cut out line on the wood with your spacer.
Subsequently, thin squares of 1cm x 1cm with a length of 200cm are cut to size for the rails.
Good to Know
For the next surfboard we would also draw the rails technically and cut them out with the lasercutter. This saves a lot of work, when bending and fitting the rails. It is a good idea to number the ribs directly so that there is no confusion when you put them together.

Step by Step
➀
Glue the skeleton to the base plate using clamps.
➁
Bend thin strips around the outer edge as rails and glue them on the base plate.
➂
Glue wooden reinforcements to the base plate for fixing fins, leash-plug and vent-plug.
➃
Plane paulownia wood to 6mm thickness.
➄
Cut the base and cover plate to size, cut strips for rails.
