https://www.wooden-balls.co.uk/index.php/cPath/55Anyone used these for making holds? Any problems?
cheers, I went for 120mm
Nearly finished - bar the kicker, foot holds and some wooden holds on order. It’s 50 lower 54 upper section. 3m board length 1.2m wide. Went for 20cm across and 40 cm vertical for Bolt on spacing for now (I’ve only 40 holds). Thanks for everyone’s help and suggestions. Only been up once so far (screw on feet hopefully tomorrow) but climbs really well hard - but not impossible (with the big feet holds). Feels great to be moving again rather than hanging.
I wondered what your approx footprint of the board is? I'm guessing approx 200x120cm based on the above?We're due to get a house in November and I'm hoping to put a board in. Think we'd need to get the attic fully done (new purlins etc) to put it up in the attic so I'm wondering about the possibility of making a freestanding one in the room I intent to use as an office. I think I could just about fit a board of that size and desk in there. Happens to be the perfect size to put my big organic pad down for as well...I wondered how you've got on with it too. Is it just okay for trying harder problems or have you found that you can link a decent number of moves together on it? I'll probably be starting to climb more again after an injury by November so probably want some easier problems to start with. We're going to be an hour (at rush hour) drive from the nearest wall so I'm definitely going to want to put something up...
Finished my board over a week ago and am loving it. The ability to just get a quick hour session on it at any time is a game changer. Had 6 sessions in it already. Can’t believe I have put off doing it for years. Dave mc was right about having everything on your doorstep makes it so much easier to train. New moon holds are superb and I always liked the yellows. Top rows are now all filled with beautiful hard wood holds thanks to Will Smith. Having built dozens of these things in the 80s and 90s I enjoyed every minute. Took about 25 hours on my own and cost 1200 all in. Storage was worth the extra work. Bring on the autumn. https://www.instagram.com/p/CAQOkMDDk97/?igshid=13x7031tj29um
