Electric Planer Training

With the templates cut out, it's time to skin the blanks and trim up some of the excess foam.  Marlon wanted to be to sole shaper on his board so to get past this set, I trained him to use the electric planer.  This tool can be unsettling the first time you use it - so we worked on an offcut from the new 4'10" I'm shaping.

I was able to skin both of my blanks, rough in the foil and then work the chines and rail bands on the foil board.

Tomorrow I'll work on the rails again.
