Eric, i have to say, your channel is amazing! It's a gift from youtube algorhytm gods I had a lot of questions about design and prototyping, and you answer if not all, than definitely most of them! Thank you for your work!
I spent a couple years making homemade techdecks by laminating veneer, it's a super satisfying process. Back then you would make a master shape thru whatever means you wanted and then use Bondo to make the mold halves. These days I think it's mostly 3d printed molds and cnc'd ones for the bigger productions.
Hobby shops and some Home Centers will have some thin plywood. A .015" piece that is say 6 x 12 cost 3 or 4 times the price of a piece of 1/8th. The .015" thick has three layers.
Really enjoy the creative process in action. Stunning execution. I keep trying to expand my mind and only scratch the surface. 😉 If you don’t mind, may I offer just one quick fabrication suggestion…. The internal radius you roughed out on the bandsaw could have also been created by drilling a hole prior to slicing the length.

I have been generally uninterested in wood as a material but the formed lamination process is pretty neat. Thanks for sharing.
Made my skateboard decks in shop class back in the day using these techniques. Rad stuff!
Señor Strebel, you rock!

Fantastic video Eric. I've always wanted to see these processes in action.
Please make more model making videos!
Great video. All useful processes. Clear instructions. The models inspire more creativity. Mahalo for shairng! : )
Do some sick tricks on that sweet mini ramp!

1840s? The ship builders of the 1600s would like a word.
Trypophobia fellings... >.
really?
Not really advanced is it
Lol, do you want me to vacuum bag it
@@EricStrebel no, but I'd like to see architect start carving again. Ply wood is just Papier mache
