Another compsand is born........

Thought id do a build thread for my latest creation, first board ive managed to sell aswell, so i thought id share…

Hope this is of interest, there might be a few steps missing due to forgetting camera but i think you`ll get the jist.

First things first 8 * 2 home depot eps

More to follow

Outline cut and layed on the rocker bed.

Rocker jig was from a previous hotwired blank.

First Rail band cut and taped ready for the bag…

Bagged with both rail bands on. Usually dont do the bottom at the same time find it gets to messy trying to sort the concave aswell as everything else…

Clean up the rail edges and then bag the bottom on with 4oz under the balsa. Also use the contour matt at this point…

Out of the bag, clean up and shape the deck. Sorry no pics of this or bagging top…

Clean up the deck and shape the rails.

Glue on tail blocks ( just strips of 9mm Balsa ) Clean up and sand ready for Glassing…

Sorry no pics of glassing but you know how that goes…

Heres a pic of something else i made…

Makes it all worthwhile…

ok the finished board polished and ready for delivery…

Thanks to everyone at swaylocks for sharing and making this possible… this has to be the greatest online comunity

Beautiful kid - can already see it in the eyes - where’s my 4’3 Dad? and how about a little less rocker this time… :slight_smile:

I like the tail on that board!

I also like your wokshop, looks like you can do some serious stuff in there.

I especially like the “stairs to nowhere”
