Ok, I know its short notice but we need to get together again. I will be shaping/glassing on Sunday and anyone who wants to show up, well, get there! Let’s say 10 am to 3pm or ???
Can do burgers and beer as well, like last time.
Mark Scott left some epoxy in my garage so who knows what will get built. Oh yeah, I seem to have a big pile of balsa laying around too…
Anyone who needs directions, let me know.
Sounds great Keith.
I’ll be there with my newly mostly finished balsa board and a rough sketch of my HWS plan at 10AM.
Is this going to be a “potluck”? I’ll bring a cheese cake.
Directions please…
I will be there with my 9’8" that I need to sand and polish! Stoked!
thanks Keith, I’ll be there.
Ok all you want O’Piece of EPS guys…bring some cash! You know who you are 'casue you posted in the the threads about EPS and StingRays post. Here’s the deal…
Tax included, I will will call pick up a #2 block of EPS for $390.00. But I need the cash first.
This is what we get,; 39"x49"x97"
the 8’ block (97") when you split it in half (49" dived by 2). Gives us 2 blocks at 24.5". Cut the 39" dim in 6.5" sections
gives us 12 blanks at 8’ x 24.5" x 6.5"
This is $32.50 for a 8’ blank. Let’s call it $4.10 a foot. 6’ blank = $24.60/10’ blank $41.00. If you want something over 8’ it gets tricky. Buy two pieces. Or hook up with someone wanting a six foot blank and buy their extra two feet. I want to shape a 8’ semi gun and a fish. So I’ll have an extra two feet available. You just glue it up like Benny does (it’s in the archives, HA!)
Where are we going to hotwire the bloack up? We can do it at my house in Laguna Niguel, or???
If this works out maybe next time we get a 16’ block (like $750). I will post this in the other two threads.
What to bring: somebody could bring a hot wire cutter if they have one handy… bring a respirator if you want to glass, bring boards to work on (or show off,) tools to sharpen… oh yeah a surfboard & wetsuit if you want to surf first (or afterward)… I’ll fire up the BBQ around lunchtime for some burgers & hot dogs - so if anyone wants to bring chips, sodas, or BEER(or other stuff to cook or eat) that’s always acceptable…
cool . . . sucks it rained. I got avian flu style sick one time and down for a week and a half, and a week later I could toss golf ball mucus membranes. Sounds good though, are we going to talk about the EPS thing?
Have you ordered the foam yet? I have a friend that is interested in atleast 2, 8’ blanks. Let me know, and I can get the money to you. If its too late, when is the next order going out? Thanks much.
Chad
We filled out to complete an order. Keep an eye out for posts for the next one. You can get single blanks, we’ve posted the sources.
I’ve got a block of 2lbs EPS. More than I need. Anyone that wants to cut a blank out of it is welcome. surf4fins mentioned $32 per blank. That sounds fine for thicknesses of 3" and under. I’ve got a wire cutter but you’ll need to bring your own rocker template.
