Nice Solo.
I’ve found much more time to shape since sending out for glassing.
I was learning more about glassing than I was shaping. Now I can focus on design and shape which is cool.
All these in the past couple weeks, which would normally take me months and months to get to.

First of all those shapes look fun. Especially like the blue squash tail and the fat little fish.
Now my question. As someone trying to get more serious about shaping, would you skilled craftsman recommend having boards sent out to glass, or would you recommend gaining a full grasp on board building from top to bottom, ie. becoming a sufficient glass man as well as shaper, before having someone else do the glass work? This is a question I’ve been pondering for a quite some time and any response would be appreciated. Thanks, and again nice shapes.
Hey dpumbehauer2,
I would def say learn the whole process if you can. Although I get ALOT more out of planning, designing and shaping than I do glassing. Glassing takes much longer and is a process. I was spending 4x the amount of time glassing/sanding than actually shaping. It took me a couple days to let go the idea of making my own from start to finish. But I’m glad I made the choice. Working with and sanding resins is nasty to your health. And you really need a proper environment to work in. Something that I don’t have right now. So in the meantime, I can get out 3 or 4x the amount of boards that I have been.

5’10’’ x 12 x 19.5 - 20’’ x 18’’ x 3’’ Hope this helps…thats about the same as the little 5’8’’ which was designed around one of Cheyne’s old outlines that was 5’6’'.
Thanks for the input. As I have never sent a board out before, I wonder, where do I go to get my boards glassed? Im in NJ.
Hey,
There really aren’t too many place.
If you’re in South Jersey, I’d go to Brian Wynn.

Ready to glass
Thanks

Noel,
those boards are amazing, especially that 5’8"- looks beautiful, love the Revolution colour job and the fin set up- Great stuff, dragged me out of lurking mode!

K,
Wait until you see them both polished with the entire sets of fins. The Spitfires for these are black on one side and red on the other.
