Mike… Your undertaking of the Knowledge Base, is a major contribution to the art & craft of surfboard building…Thank You!!! The outline you’ve set up IS comprehensive…This WILL BE the resource that board builders have been needing since, well forever… I think that the Discussion Forum will lighten up a bit, with the redundant questions having answers centrally located in the Knowledge Base…Perhaps that will free up the Discussion Forum for more challenging, conceptual, progessive, idea based, and thought provoking areas of give & take… Again Mike, thanks for your contribution to fueling our passion for perfection!!! Paul
