"folks" this is number #14 for me and 1 year in the game.First time using a planer and glad I did. It all started last year for my birthday I ordered a kit from greenlight supplies and never looked back.No lessons here ,just videos,sways and trial and error.fun little hobby and still looking to improve.
so first I get my 7'2" artic blank from the shop in Pacifica, California

I found the only planner at sears after looking around the store and it was the floor model and got it for $30. Really wanted to get a nicer one but for 30 bones what the heck.this where it got fun.It made the biggest mess outside,so I made a tiny 6'x8'x8" tall shed.That was a build itself with no help.busted out a shanty for $175 ,dont laugh I know it's ghetto

with all that glitter, it looks like a nightfall of diamonds. Not a transitive one, though.
What a long strange trippy board!
Nice! I like your shed too. You got me with the "folks"! I thought to myself, oh shit, here we go....
Yep, me too.
All that thing needs is a pot leaf under the glass.
Jerry would approve.

Good work! Very appropriate color work!
I like it. This one made me smile, Tom. Cool board and ghetto is good. Did you get a permit for the shed? Kidding.....How do you fit in there with the board tho? Mike
Love the shed man! Nice to see it come together. What fin setup are you going to put on this one?

Love it all of it (the tribute) and "da shack"
All done well IMHO.
I would rather be someone's shot of whiskey, than everyone's cup of tea.
