"Back to where it all began where life was simple no rip-off people and it was fun"

Wow. That scary. The best I ever got was 85. But I’m starting to think with vac bagging there’s a thing called overkill. When I get some dough I’m going to buy a regulater. 

 

Like your shed bro and the El Fresco feel. 

 

Cheers.

 

Yep it was scary at 90kpa.

I was waiting for a complete collapse. Problem with me is I always push things till they break.

Lucky the foam is VH grade thats 28 kg m3, so its strong.

I to need a regulator too, 90kpa is way to high.

Can anyone recommend a suitable pressure?

PS No offense to all the Seppos out there about the Butt Plug comment, However…

Thanks

My $0.02 worth, if it’s worth that much …

  1. Yep, a good mate in life, like your girl, getting in and helping and suporting your passion is key to a happy life. I too am lucky to have one of them …

  2. Doing what you love, usually means you do it well and in turn, it becomes sustainable … people who focus on the $ first, or the ego, or whatever, end up coming off second best …

  3. What a cool shed … love it. Just like JD’s old one, it has character, and hell yeah, get that hanging sign up … more important, when is the ‘shed warming’ party?

 

 

 

 

It isn’t easy, even when you know what your doing.  I hope for your success, and your family prospers.  

JD and Ghettorat.
I have sent you both PMs, they wont go through for one reason or another.

JD huie nailed it, hey, “steady as she goes”. Lots of pride and work in a smooth running personalized factory, It’s heartbreaking to let em go. I haven’t gotten over it yet… But my stress levels are way lower now. Starting to breath again. You work is freak’n amazing mate, it blows my mind, one of this countries best brother!

Gettorat, Thanks for your advise and kind words. I agree completely, Your very fortunate to know GL……I am guilty of stirring you seppos up to :)…especially after a couple of cold ones haha.

 

 

Medical vaccum pumps will last longer if a water seperator is between the pump and suction end.  Nothing will ruin a vaccum pump faster then water intrusion into the vanes.  Here’s a link to a good piece on maintaining your vaccum pump.

from a seppo to a poofter…lol

 

 

Cheers, 

I’ll check that out. 

…Nothing against gays poofs etc. But there is one thing I do know, and thats. “Bums to the wall when fags are on the crawl!” lol, nice try though.

I was with a mate at my shed talking crap with a few beers watching epoxy dry haha,  sways came up how much Bullshit is said. Id just cut the end off a  broom handle for my glass holder and put it on my board, Heres one for sways. We both lost it. I said I’d post it up so the “Bull shit inhibiter” was born :)… Nar actually I use em all the time, helps me keep stable on my board. bahahaha

 

 

 

Hey,
Here is the progress of my new board so far.
Things are going to plan and I couldnt be happier how it looks.
Cheers

.

That looks amazing. Never used timber skins…in fact only just started vac bagging…is that smaller inset used to complement/influence flex pattern? I am terribly envious of your new shed. Looks like the dream I have planned for my move to your (warm) country… Cheers rich

Holy hecking flying foxes …

Your new shed’s looking flash in those latest pics!

Couldn’t resist.

Project 2, the “ASV” (alternate surf vehicle) double ender.

Fins at both ends.

Smooth ark rocker.

Deep single concave.

Ark outline.

Same each end, Hand shaped EPS stringer. EPS is by far easier foam to shape accurately IMHO.

my pics are all going sideways???
Damn.

Lets see one more.

ok then nose/Tail…A

Nose/Tail…B ha
