I know this is a touchy subject but is there anyone out there that would share some of their templates to copy ?i would be clad to pay even if it is just a paper one which would be easier to mail. there is not alotofboards around where i live to make templates from. thanks s.marvin
i’d be willing to send you some templates on paper. what kind of board(s) are you after. i’m far from a pro so no guarantee’s, but it’d give you some curves to go off. maybe just send me a couple bucks for postage. bruce
on the subject of templates, how do you guys who have been shaping for years make them so perfect? i always end up with a little flaw here and there xxxstevexxx>>> i’d be willing to send you some templates on paper. what kind of board(s) > are you after. i’m far from a pro so no guarantee’s, but it’d give you > some curves to go off. maybe just send me a couple bucks for postage.>>> bruce

MARK THE PLAN SHAPE ONTO THE BLANK AND CUT IT OUT A COUPLE OF MILLIMETRES FROM YOUR OUTLINE.WHEN YOU HAVE DONE THAT,SURFORM THE RAIL BACK SQUARE BUT DON’T TAKE THE OUTLINE OFF.WHAT YOU WILL NEED NOW IS A TORTURE BOARD.A PIECE OF 3 OR 5 PLY(MUST BE SEMI FLEXIBLE)ABOUT 700MM LONG WITH 60GRIT STUCK TO IT.PLACE THE BOARD IN THE STAND WITH THE RAIL STANDING UPWARDS AND USE THE BOARD FROM NOSE TO TAIL. BECAREFUL NOT TO TAKE TO MUCH OFF.IT WILL TAKE MOST OF THE BUMPS OUT OF YOUR PLAN SHAPE, IF THEY ARE NOT TOO SEVERE. MAC

my email is . send me your address and i’ll find out shipping costs. i’ll just do some on paper and send them rolled in a tube. you can spray glue them to your masonite or whatever and cut em out. i’ll send you a 6’0" modern fish, 6’5" hi perf., 6’5" hipster squash, a 6’10" big guy tri, and a 7’2" semi gun. i’m a bit busy so it might take a few days to squeeze in but i’ll get em to ya, just email me address etc. where are you at by the way?
I’ve passed on lots of templates here in matrix format. Do a search for “noodle outline”. Some of the matrices have instructions.
