Lol…Of course not. I was actually going to go with an opaque-ish yellow. When you say “part of it”, do you mean we could laminate the bottom and deck, or not even that far…? If we couldn’t laminate the bottom and deck, then I’ll just do it here when I have more time. Thanks.
If anyone who’s coming on Saturday has an extra BODbottle (I think that’s what they’re called…The bottles for measuring catalyst) and wouldn’t mind parting with it, I’d like to buy it from you at a fair price. Mitch’s is out of them and won’t have them for at least a week. Thanks.
Time: 11am to 3pm or ??
What to bring: a respirator if you have one, a good attitude, and a surfboard & wetsuit if you want to surf afterward…
Just putting my dibbs on a seat, again.
Probably gonna squeek in a morning sesh, before ‘class’, if anyone is interested.
any likely hood of something like this going down again. I’d like a “workshop” on Epoxy lamination. If I can get it planned out far enough I’ll drive in from Texas!
funny you should mention that. I was just thinking we might do another one, but on shaping this time instead of glassing. Any interest out there folks?
Maybe some other Texas Swaylockers can get together something in your neck of the woods (you know, within a 18 hour drive or so! Texas is pretty big!)
Keith
I can drive non-stop for over 11 hours and not leave the state. I’ve done it quite a few times.
I’d be up for a shaping session - given good advanced notice.
Texas, Austin to Newport Beach 24hrs straight - driving 75-80mph.
Did that too many times, started flying instead.
July 16 or 17th looks do-able. Anybody up for that?
Absolutely 100% for sure I’m in. My family will be out of town visiting relatives so I have a 10-day green light! Let me know if you need me to bring anything Keith…I have a fresh blank sitting here to if you want me to bring it.
I only have 2 planers, but I have 3 sets of racks – so you might want to bring your Hitachi as well as a blank you wish to shape. Also, bring a template if you want, it would be a good opportunity to compare (and/or trade) templates.
Don’t have a Hitachi…
Maybe I’ll just observe.
Sorry, I thought I recalled you had gotten one. Well you’re welcome to try one out, or try the Skil, how the heck else are you going to know if you want one or not??
Maybe we should make some fish fins too. I’ve got plywood & a sander…
That would be cool…I’ll bring over some Hawaiian Koa and possibly Flamey Maple.
Ok… no matter what, sick kids included, I’m in! Sign me up. Copying templates sounds like a great idea. If Tenover could bring the fish template, I’d love to copy it. And the fish fins!
Also, I’ve got an empty mini-van heading south and Gas is expensive. Anyone wants to carpool, let me know.
Where is this little shape fest gonna be.
THanks
same as last time; directions are higher up on this thread. I’m open to doing this either Saturday or Sunday of that weekend - what works best for folks??
Either/Or or both is fine with me.
Count me in too…
gonna ever do another? i’d like to attend if so!
