Cant Jig

Very nice, Are those made from foam board? they look very clean and the bold lettering must make it easy to locate the right jig, I just used pencil and its a little hard to see. They are very similar to mine, except mine are made from balsa and are a little more triangular in shape. Like yours I find it much more acurate/easier to meassue from the flat (in) side of the fin. I also have a cut away at the base to allow clearance of the plugs. I don't tape them to the fins though only use them as a guild, while a seperate spring clip holds them at the right angle (just choke up one foot)

Thanks WoodyWaverider! I drew them up on my Mac to to get all the angles etc. right. Then printed them out and glued them on a piece of foam coreboard. Then cut them out and glued them together. They're pretty light so when they're taped to the fins I can handle them with the fins . . . Actually put the fins in place — The cant jig just maintains the correct angle. This was just my first effort at making a board so I just experimented with a few things as I went. Thanks for you feedback! Monty

It needs a modification. Unless the board is flat at the fins, the angle will be off. Its base needs to reach rail to rail if the bottom is concave, and needs shims if the bottom is V

Hi Everysurfer. Yeah for board no.2 I'll be making a modified version to take into account V. Thanks for your advice! Monty.
