Yes use it.  Do it.  Keep it out of the landfill.  Keep us posted. Want to see the result.  Lowel

Thanks for the encouragement , Lowel !

The last board I shaped , glassed ,  and made fins  for , was in 2009 , from memory ? ( Either the ’ Prawn ’  , or the 'Bushfire Fish ’ … I forget WHICH ! )

 

Cheers !

Deck laminated …

Red ,  yellow , green ,  and blue pigment , on bottom .

 

Green and a little yellow and red mixed into the deck lam coat.

Bottom swirls…


Next step will be installing the fin box. And FCS side plug(s)

 

Then surforming , and sanding …

 

It may not be ready on my birthday ( January 3rd ) ,  but , see how I go …

 

It’s been FUN , recycling and making a tiny ( for me , anyway !) board !

 

 Yewwww , STOKED !!

 

Cheers !

 

Ben 

Rails have been surformed now , in preparation for overall sanding.

Side plug positions , and finbox ,  have been marked out , too …

Fin(s) positioning…

I (finally !!)  installed the finbox , a couple of days ago !

It has  also been sanded , deck and bottom , since these photos 

Next …

to buy a ’ holesaw attachment ’ , for my electric drill , so I can install the two (one each side ) FCS  plugs , to use some of my little one-tabber  " sidebites " …

 

 cheers !
