in response to you helping your fellow craftsmen.
i am continually humbled by the brotherhood of surfers and builders alike regardless of where we live,i hope no one in other country's took offense to me talking about keeping it american.i said this because of the financial situation we in america are having now and in no way was being disrespectful to my fellow brothers and sisters all over the world,we are all one.your the man dead shaper!

You can add a second router with an inflatatable sanding drums once the main cut is made with the principle router the secondary router could make a quick pass. You would not want to change heads because you will loose time on change overs so a second router may be the answer?
You should build CNC shaping machines and design the software.
.....funny you say that.......my dad was a machinist as part of his life.....owned a machine shop and had many thousands of dollars worth of CNC and other equipment in his home shop as well. He even helped a certain world famous shaper with his inital setting up to machine boards.
My dad was an interesting guy with a genius IQ......but very understated and had a common sense way of approaching projects. Some of those jobs would involve companies like Raytheon....they would get a cntract to build a part but didn't have the tool to make the part........so they ended up coming to him to invent the tool.
Guess it's in the genes.
I originally envisioned secondary scans (if needed) and inflatables for sanding the hotcoated, boards.......removing that bit of drudgery from the equation.
Now that's a great Ideal! Sand the boards on a cnc. It's actually posible. I sanded a Hotcoat today and it's the part that I hate to do the most.
To put it on a CNC and sand it would be great.
Back to the tread:
ICE 9 is working out a few things and I look forward to moving on with the Study. I can't wait to get my hands on some MOSES.
It looks like I'll be able to start soon!
...man, I dont understand exactly your post
if you buy on Monday and delivery on Thursday (rockers, etc)
what s the problem in it?
sounds good
for me there are no better PU blanks in the moment than Surfblanks (Aussie, Brazil, then Mex/USA) and Rhyno (may be the wood is too heavy..because of that, the little ones come with T-band)

The problem was when I made some orders that took weeks with other companies to receive delivery. I was being Ironic.
US Blanks was able to blow out an order in less than a few days.
As far as Surfblanks America they are good as well and I have six of them to try out. Super hard and light.
I'm using US Blanks (Easy to Shape) and KING MAC (Good feed back on peformance). They use alot of the Surfblanks America down in San Clemente in the surf getto where good reports are coming from some legit board builders. I can't wait to try out the MOWES from ICE 9 there have been some good rumors floating around as well. Just waiting for it to be available.
I haven't seen Rhino yet? Where are they from?
Yesterday my good friend from the GOLD COAST OZ called me up and has his new formula for EMPIRE FOAM Australlia which is really light. I shaped one a month ago of the old formula and it was really creamy with really tight cells. He may send a few of the new light ones over for me to try out. I go through some foam some weeks so availablity can be a factor as to what foam you use when you production to push through.
I agree w/ reverb on the quality of the Rhyno blanks, they are really good. But fairly expensive here in SoCal, I believe they are from Brazil if I remember correctly.
yup, here's their url: http://www.rhynofoam.com.br/ingles/home.html
They were great early on. I liked the blueish tint in the foam color. I bought mine at Green Valley Mills (now RIP) and they were expensive but it might of been GV's mark up. Foam really held up and also flex'd nicely. I think they sell it on the east coast. They are from Brazil.
Since you guys were talking about Rhyno Foam, and US Blanks, it should be included on this thread that both are available from Atlantic Surfoam (Melbourne, FL -321 259 1508) and US Fiberglass (Outer Banks, NC -
252 491 8535). Both companies are dependable and able to ship any size order quickly.

It would be a good fit for you.
