Homemade Recycled Fins made by Wafflebeaver... Wait-What?

 

I recently got my hands on a few homemade recycled fins made by Wafflebeaver. I really love the idea of reducing and reusing plastics to help made this world a less trashy place. Bryce (aka Wafflebeaver) shows his steps on how he created these fins and also shows how he rounded up and made the material to make the fins! This is such a cool idea! check this out:

Recycled Plastic Surfboard Fins #RocklerHobbyChallenge

I decided to make recycled plastic surfboard fins for the #rocklerhobbychallenge. My hobby of surfing and making stuff has turned into making surfboard fins out of plastic trash. A very niche thing but it's really fun. Also, please donate to #teamseas Link mentioned in the video: https://www.youtube.com/chrispowellfsd https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLu... https://teamseas.org/ https://www.themodernmakerpodcast.com/

So you might be thinking the same thing I was... So how does Wafflebeaver get that plastic material and make it useable for making stuff... Don't worry I found the answer. He made this video sharing just that! Check it out:

Plastic Shredder + VFD + Motor

This video is mostly about my shredder box that I've made to process the plastic from my neighborhood. Leave me a comment if you think you could use an HDPE or PP blank. Also, leave a comment if you can think of some ideas to cast plastic into or simply leave a trolling comment if you want to be a troll. I made a plastic shredder to work with my VFD on my bandsaw. This is the video on how my bandsaw is wired: https://youtu.be/3HpZNHhS2so I previously released a video on how I'm using recycled plastic to make threaded inserts for outdoor furniture: https://youtu.be/AU2yiBG_CDw Also, I wrote an article on instructables to help anyone else that would like to put together a plastic shredder https://www.instructables.com/Plastic... Feel free to provide any questions in the comments though.

He also made a this Scribble Book for jotting down creative ideas. It's available on Amazon (click here for the link to his book)
