Boxes in...




I FINALLY got the boxes into the board. Work has been crazy busy again (and will be for the next couple of weeks), so it has been slow going on the boards.

Among the many issues consuming time - a proper jig for the center box. 3/4" Ply with sandpaper grip on the bottom. That coupled with a template follower and a 1/2" bit that is 2" long and the box is getting cut!!!

So back to the board - I ran out of epoxy (Resin Research), so I went over to Foam, Fins and Fiberglass today to pick up another 1.5 gallon set. If you are in SOCAL and haven't been to this shop (they just moved from Main to Thompson) then shame on you. Lots of character in this place - you don't get the "they're trying to sell me something" feeling in here like you do in some other shops. Their board building supplies get you interested, but the eclectic boards and cool threads keeps you interested. Check them out if you are passing through the area.

I'll be hotcoating the board on Sunday. Getting closer!!!
