If there is one thing that shaping brings, that is peace and joy, the noise, the smell, the mess, the power tools, nothing like it, nothing. I need to thank huei who has helped me on my journey, I hope you enjoy. Remember, follow your dreams, its never to late

gareths surfboard
Ive actually started on a new project, actually started on the 12/11. Ive already cut out the outline, again its a roundtail, for gareth its gonna be a 6'4 and a bit, Im aiming at 2 and 3/4 volume but its a low volume blank so may struggle with that, if I dont get the right volume on the board then will just sell it and get a blank that will more suit what we are both after. Ive already done the bottom rocker, looks the goods and think she will be a real little pocket rocket. Im really excited about this build. Gareth already owns a fish so aiming at making this a quad, for down the line days, very shallow single leading into shallow double. Its gonna be only 19 wide so will be so different from what he is use to, cant wait to finish, but am worried about getting right volume out of the blank.
Photos posted later tonight. Check it out and tell me what you think, should have photos up by 10.30.
Ok, photos uploaded, sorry bout the sideways pics, oops. Gareth, I have lined up another blank just in case we cant get the right volume for her, if I cant will just sell it and make you another straight away. Im skimming the deck this weekend and working on the deck line, will take as little as possible off the top.
