Your board will be shaped by a guy like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXJKdh1KZ0w
When I agreeded to be filmed for that clip it was under the notion that it would strictly be used for internal purposes…
John +1 ROFLMAO!
WAW +1 witty remark (as always).
Funny 2 me…
As this is true.
The Rockwell Encabulator.
CNC eh, not soooo deep.
None the less…
Support your local shaper/// ;-{=
CNC kills;;;
Ban CNCs
Hilarious! Secret sauce on steroids, lol!
Way ahead of you guys.
This is my Rockwell Shapulator.
…so good; all that mumbo jumbo is the same that we see with the machine, with the shapers that “shaped” n-thousands boards, with the branding and with all the crappy stuff that they insist to convince us that is better than a real craftman.
Better part for me is the noisy hinge in that so called high tech device…
I love the straight face, guy deserves an emmy, lol
shapulator - good one Barry!
Finally a crudely conceived idea I can get behind! I can’t tell you how much trouble I’ve been having with synosoidal deplanarization!
I have had some problems with my reciprocating dingle arm…
This video has a very similar script. Not sure who ripped off who.
Lots of videos with the same theme. Here’s a good one.
Hey Harry,
I found this one too. It looks like the original. I found a caption underneath, and here is the explanation. Cool Story!
“This is the first time Turbo Encabulator was recorded with picture. I shot this in the late 70’s at Regan Studios in Detroit on 16mm film. The narrator and writer is Bud Haggert. He was the top voice-over talent on technical films. He wrote the script because he rarely understood the technical copy he was asked to read and felt he shouldn’t be alone. We had just finished a production for GMC Trucks and Bud asked since this was the perfect setting could we film his Turbo Encabulator script. He was using an audio prompter referred to as “the ear”. He was actually the pioneer of the ear. He was to deliver a live speech without a prompter. After struggling in his hotel room trying to commit to memory he went to plan B. He recorded it to a large Wollensak reel to reel recorder and placed it in the bottom of the podium. With a wired earplug he used it for the speech and the “ear” was invented. Today every on-camera spokesperson uses a variation of Bud’s innovation. Dave Rondot (me) was the director and John Choate was the DP on this production. The first laugh at the end is mine. My hat’s off to Bud a true talent.”
On another note,
Seriously no offense to old school, but I really want 6 hydro-coptic marzelvanes sol-fitted to the amba-fascient lunar wane shaft on my next surfboard to prevent side-fumbling.
