My first board made with HD foam, West System epoxy - swirl tint and a lot of mistakes but all smiles now. I think it is not half bad for a first go at it.

First builds are tough and big kudos for sticking to it and getting it done. Looks like you learned alot and put it all out there, good on you! Now on to the next one! I think I was on number five or six before I found sways and even without this great resource, each board got better. Make sure you surf the hell out of it and then put it up. Your number one is always special!
Congrats!

Thanks Woody! I look forward to doing another one. I have a little selling to do with the better half but I think in 2 months or so I will be back at it again and this time with a real blank. I am thinking fish.
Wow, that seems like a lot of work! Not the board, the video, LOL. Great job all the way around, first boards are always exciting. Kinda like the first time you stood up and rode the face of a wave.

I feel really silly for my question now !
