I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking that.

All that wasted potential

I doubt either of you will be kept awake at night by your broken hearts.

[Nibile]

You're absolutely right.
Despite the overwhelming sense of disgust, repulsion and anger that such an abomination generates in me, I sleep the sleep of the righteous, under the severely overhanging and protective wings of my board.

 Wall #1 done!

Will put some route up tonight

40-degree board will begin in March I think

[Oldmanmatt]

That looks incredibly professional. Had to double-take to be sure it was on the side of a house and not a new wall.

Ha! Many thanks :D
I was very guided by a good friend who's far more adept at this kind of thing than me - he adjusted my original plan and made it much stronger and fills the entire space. He also built the blue volume which I'm mega impressed with!
The white volumes were purchased.

I can take credit for the painting and design of that...

This has just popped up as a Google sponsored as. Absolutely hilarious. Some idiots have made some horrificly sharp tendon poppers and ACTUALLY CALLED THEM "Super Tweeks".
Does exactly what it says on the tin.

Look like they are made by Entre Prise, what do they know.

Those are actually really good and not at all tweaky.

Hi there to DIY woodie-building lovers!

I need change from fingerboarding and have a spare room that could accommodate a narrow woodie. I have minimal woodworking skills and free time so would be very interested in quotes for manufacturing and assembling a sturdy, free-standing board - say 4ft wide, 40 deg, offset grid of T nuts (if you can sell some holds to go on it too, I'm all ears).  If you fancy the job please let me know - live in Ilkley.

I've just commissioned one from Crusher. I'm saving a bit of cash and his sanity by doing the t nuts myself.

Interesting - I wonder if Master Crush is in the market to make another, though I would want him to do the T-nuts - I have a highly noise sensitive  neighbour who would probably kill me if i spent several nights drilling and hammering (the reason the board has too be so small is to fit in the bedroom at the opposite side of the house from him - rather than my more spacious attic).

They have 6 left

You can, and I intend to, get screw in T nuts. I think it's a better solution if the back of the board won't be easily accessible.

[Fadanoid]

  Screw in t nuts. Its a real pisser crawling in to replace the hammer ins.

I've replied to your fb message Moose, I'll price in the commission for Paul B to do your T-nuts, is that ok Paul?

[moose]

Hi Paul - I've messaged you back...... unfortunately for your sanity/ fortunately for your bank balance, I am happy to pay for you to do absolutely as much as you are willing!

On the subject of T-nuts, I'm planning an outdoor woodie. It'll be approx 45 degrees and the rear will be covered with roofing sheet or felt to weather-proof it to some degree. Is rust going to be an issue with the standard BZP T-nuts - I'd have thought it would be but was wondering what other people's experiences have been with outdoor woodie?. Should I be getting galvanised or stainless T-nuts, and does anyone know a good source for these? I'd prefer screw-in, but haven't found screw-in stainless M10 T nuts in my searching.

[Fadanoid]

I think the t nuts on my outdoor moon board might be bzp ones.

I remember looking into bi-metal corrosion at the time as I have stainless steel bolts, don't think there was an issue... Providing the are not directly getting wet you should be ok. Mine have been in for 3 winters now and are fine. The only time they get any moisture is when its foggy.

[Nutty]

Thanks, it would mean I could spend more on holds if I don't need to spring for stainless T-nuts and get also get screw in rather than pronged.

[Paul B]

The Crusher (built off-site) board was delivered on Sunday and is quite frankly awesome.

After fitting out the board with T-nuts on Monday I have to say the screw-in versions are awesome. Peewee and I did the whole thing in ~ 1 hour. Unfortunately I've misplaced my 8mm allen key so it currently doesn't have any other holds.

The holds also deserve a clean before they're put back up for a while.

Does anyone know where you can buy the Stonesmith trainingstone range currently? SS seem to have gone quiet (no answer to emails).

[T_B]

Still getting into our new board, which is relatively narrow but 58 degrees and about 3m 'long' (bear in mind that I'm a giant). It couldn't have been this long/high if we'd put it across the garage. Easy to build as put a beam across the garage and effectively 'hung' it off that.

This is a definite classic problem (dropped the last move).



Hoping to get some more wooden holds.

L-hand vert wall is for kids/warming up (a bit of an issue on the 58 deg board).

Finally, a sensible angle!
