How to Make Leather Ping Pong Paddles

In this video I’m making leather & wood ping pong paddles for the #rocklerhobbychallenge put on by the Modern Maker Podcast. You may think that since I’m making ping pong paddles, ping pong is my hobby…I do like ping pong, but I think the real hobby here is taking something you could buy for $10 that works perfect and making an #unnecessaryleather version that costs three times as much that probably won’t work as well haha.

I am actually making these for my buddy Drew of the channel Fisher’s Shop who just recently made this epic foldable ping pong table on his channel for him and his son to use. I remember loving to play ping pong with my dad growing up, so I guess the sentimentality must have inspired me to try and make the two of them a pair! If you haven’t checked out his ping pong table video yet, I highly recommend you do…after you watch mine of course!    • Woodworking: The Ultimate DIY Ping Po...
