I'm thinking about doing a series of deckmaking topics on youtube. I have a few ideas so far:
Which Glue? Why? Why do decks warp? Drilling holes. Why CNC molds are superior. Veneer?
Edit: added topics and suggestions Hydraulic press/clamps/vice? Sanding and Laquer. Customer service. Gluelines and Concave. How to: Make a Bad Deck.
Any questions you guys have to add to my list?

The drilling holes one would be great for me, because i use a bondo mold and I can never get my holes aligned correctly

Now I do wanna give some insight and knowledge about deck making but I won't be blatantly giving out 'secrets'. So no worries. For instance, the video on glue will show a few glues you can use and the pros and cons of each. They are all good, but it comes down to personal preference/cost/time/workability.
Graphics are sensitive, so I probably won't cover that. All I can say is trial and error and forking out some cash will be best when finding something that works.

I think this is a great idea. Some of the best deckmaking advice I found when learning was from the "How It's Made" videos, which usually don't have any instructions or words, but pretty much show the procedure start to finish.

Episode 1: Glue
The purpose was to inform one on the importance and practical application of various glues. Notice I didn't say that their was one that was best, just many good glues for different scenarios. That's what I want this series to be about. This is not only for other deck makers but to give a perspective about what goes into deck making so that the customer can make an informed decision. I wouldn't was anyone to buy a $100 deck based on the fact that it was made with some magical formulation.

So glad to see youre spot on in this video and no bs!!!
I specially liked that you give quite a few options for less experienced deckmakers. This will for sure make it easier to choose what works and make it a lot less fustrating when starting out Im sure..

Straight up truth. I used to work at a hardware store selling all of these glue options. You did a great job covering the pros and cons of each one.

I think you should do a video on templates. Also be sure to mention the effect a pencil has on the final size (ex: .5mm lead can add 1mm to a template if needed to size up.) I think that small detail is often overlooked especially since it makes a difference in the size of a board.

When will the next video be coming out? I've been interested in making decks for a while and this is the first video I've found that gives you a full spectrum of options. Everyone else just says this is the way I do it. I feel that this series will be great to see a bunch of different options and then I can forge my own style from it.

New Vids coming soon.
@Brian, I actually don't do templates, I see what you mean though. This series is from my perspective as a deckmaker refuting some myths and sharing knowledge. I'm not really teaching how to make decks, just showing what goes into making a good deck. If ya understand.
@General, awesome, glad you like it!
