THANKS PAUL.
Very interesting reading and magazine.
Downloading also issue nr.1
Thanks for the heads up Paul, really good magazine (woody’s been a busy boy!!)
Saw this post yesterday but didn’t have time to chime in. I got a few pictures in issue 2 on pages 166/167 of my shaper for their photo contest, stoked.
But more importantly, wanted to drop a link to an interview with Howard Swanwick, the Editor at Drift Magazine, to shed some light on what they are doing and the relevance of thier digital-only format.
Here’s the link:
As far as the woody article, I’m still fascinated every time I see the different stages of a HWS construction. Good to see credit given where credit is due as well. Seems like a simple concept, but it’s not always the case.
Good stuff, Paul. Do you have anything new in the works?

PS - Note that I finally called you ‘Paul’
Nice one Paul, interesting width and rocker dims I bet it’s fast.
What’s the fin thickness ?
PS Does anyone know how to zoom in on the fine print on the mag without being confined to one corner of the page ?
?
i wish i had one with out the month or two I’d spent fiddling around to making one
but looks great, good job
Nice!!
How did you do the balsa rails? Tried and true contact cement and cleanup with a flush-cutting bit, or something different?
Let us know how it rides…it sure looks fast…and very light! What’s the glassing like under/over the skins? Also, are you planning to go the IMRON route for gloss again?

Thanks for posting it Paul,
Too embarrassed to put it up myself, I’d already posted all the pics last summer when I made the board, its taken quite a while for the article to come out. If remember rightly you can only advertise in it if your heading in an environmentally positive direction or make a donation to the S.A.S.
Bit surreal seeing pictures of yourself the shack next to an interview with Wayne Lynch, but that’s why I like the mag, its has a lot of grass roots and artistic stuff in it.
I’m glad they didn’t edit too much out and kept the credits in for you ands sways. Howard is a nice guy, bump into him every now and again. He’s passionate about being “carbon neutral”. I think the magazine
There’s a forum on his website, I’m sure if anyone had any questions for Howard he would be only too happy to answer them.
BTW – Nice fish Paul,
Paul, I’d also like to hear your approach to the all-balsa rails. Clamping moulds? Built-up sticks? Wood softener?
I’m sure you’ve read all the trials all of us hackers have been through with those things. And I also am sure that you had a plan & executed it well before taking on such a task…so if you could share your approach, I would appreciate it very much.
Board looks great, btw. Did it come out lighter than your others?
Thanks

CLick the zoom button, then you can drag the view around inside the frame to read the entire frame
I concur with Benny, more thought provoking technique demonstration of rail application please.
