I daydream about a righteous shaping shed…and then I rationalize that making 2 boards a year is not enough to warrant a dedicated space. But if I had a dedicated space, would I make more and or better boards?!?
Thanks for the sandwich information. I hope the rest of the build goes well.
i made the same mistake the first time, you only want about 8in/mg or you will crush most eps blanks and even then i would advise using a rocker stick of some kind. I just did a cork kite board and just hot wired a 5" wide eps roocker stick i used under the blank on the table while it was under vac.
The other thing i would say is you never want the vac port on top of your work pice, use a layer or two of breather and make a path away from the blank and set your port on there that way you will lot leave any marks on the work pice.
Yes, a total mess. understand what i did wrong. looking at the blank while shaping some kite surfboards from machined blanks, i realize the internal structure has been crushed too. There are big deformations.
just gonna cut it up and wait until next year- have to finish 5 kiteboards…
