That was an old board of mine I snapped. Yeh I glued up a double stringer that both curved opposite at the tail out. Trying to control flex. But for the video I was just using the busted portion as a prop
Good question. The answer is no. You want to use the centre mark for your centre fin obviously but the side fins should line up with the inside foil of the fin not the centre point. Hope this helps a bit 🤙
Yeh I did make futures as well, I just never did the video. If you have Insta or fb sling me a msg and I’ll send you all the photos and info on how to make a jig for futures
Great video. Whats the deal when you have concave when routing out fin boxes as one side of plug will sit higher, do you just route bit lower on on side to level up. Does template need to be leveled up or do you just go with natural concave. Cheers
Thanks mate. You can route flush with the foam still but then you need to take into account the cant angle when setting the boxes. So if I had a significant concave and I was looking for 5-6 degree cant I would use a 9 degree cant box. Generally concave isn’t too extreme and it doesn’t hinder you too much. But if it does throw cant angles out just using tape to bring back to desired angle generally works well.
Thanks dude, helpful vid, do you have any clips on how to position the original dots for fin positions on a board. I see a lot of shapers using a set square with loads of holes in it but just can't find them online. Thanks dude!
Where are you located man? I might be able to help find you one online. Are you trying to just find the shapers squares or need help with the actual position of your fins?
@@Shrednaught located in the UK, just the shapers squares so nothing too crazy. I can find some, but unsure if they have markers for the fin positions as well as rail measurements etc (thanks for the reply)
@@cameronthorpe9120 ok cool. Majority of the shapers squares just have the measurement increments and you place the dots down where required. Some do have the dots but they work from the rail and are slightly different. If you let me know what website your looking at I can have a quick looksy for ya 🤙
@@cameronthorpe9120 that square looks good man. You will still need to learn how to read it. No shapers squares will have a universal measurement for fins as all boards are different. Just ask the manufactures for instructions and should be fairly straight forward. Good luck 🤙

Dude, that screw trick is great.
Glad you like it 🤙 really helps to get a strong box install.
Loving your videos mate, keep em coming!
Thanks 🤙 I’ll try my best.
Didn't skip a beat nailed this vid
🤙
You are a national treasure
Haha thanks mate 🤙
This is great. I’d really appreciate a centre fin box jig tutorial if you can?
Thank you very much. It will be a great learning experience. Please tell me the future fin type.
The bottom point is always at centre mark. Up mark depend of L or R side and TOE-IN you need.
Dang wish I would have seen this like a week sooner😂
Haha sorry
Same
If you do not have regular drill there are manual ones, if not a ver thin wood saw will do as well, if not, humans are ingenius creatures! :)
🤘
With the screw you are making a mini "dovetail"...nice.
Helps the resin to not pull out in a perfect cylinder 🤙
Thanks, im going to sleep on this 1, thinking to instal fcs on a board i havn't yet
No worries 🤙
Wicked video, two thumbs up!! Futures jig...10 bucks worth of ply, obviously don't play cricket 😁. Lovely hands by the way
🤣 thanks
Thanks mate, I am going to try it. Beauty
All good mate. Any questions just ask. Good luck 🤙
so goooooood
Hey Mr. Shred, how about some “How To” vids on actually installing the 2 type of fin boxes?
I was going to do these but fcs and futures already have pretty detailed how to videos already.
@@Shrednaught just wanted to see you personally it
Haha I’m flattered. Ill watch their vids and try do one of my own that is a bit different. 🤙
Full of handy tricks👍
So what's the story with that tail you're dropping the fin box into, some kind of split double stringer fish?
That was an old board of mine I snapped. Yeh I glued up a double stringer that both curved opposite at the tail out. Trying to control flex. But for the video I was just using the busted portion as a prop
Hello, thanks to your vidéo but i dont understand why you have 3 lines : middle,left and right. We cant use the same marks for all ?
Thanks
Good question. The answer is no. You want to use the centre mark for your centre fin obviously but the side fins should line up with the inside foil of the fin not the centre point.
Hope this helps a bit 🤙
do you have tips on how to do this for future fin boxes? dope video!
Yeh I did make futures as well, I just never did the video. If you have Insta or fb sling me a msg and I’ll send you all the photos and info on how to make a jig for futures
@@Shrednaught Yes please
I just bought a router laminate trim 1/4". What else do I need I see you have a straight flush bit, what size? Also do I need to buy a shank?

Love it
where is the video for the futures jig?
I bought the fcs2 bit and it has a bearing on it, will I have to add the space from the bearing to the perimeter of the jig plate?
Yeh definitely.
did you ever do the futures>>? can't find it. awesome content!!
No sorry, I never got around to doing the futures video.
Thanks 🤙
Sweet!
🤘
