Garage Works - 7/14/2026

Rest day (errand day also - I mowed and edged the lawn).

But I had the garage all to myself (both cars out) so I felt compelled to get the templates on the two blanks dialed in and the decks skinned.

And that's the point I got to on both.

I'll try and preserve a majority of the thickness in these two blanks - and the majority of the shaping will be in the rails.

The difference in these from the others to date (and the main reason for me shaping them) is the introduction of tail rocker - and more so than No.34 and No.40

When I get working on these again (maybe tomorrow???) I'll redraw the center line on both top and bottom decks, get the track box location situated, and start removing the rail meat.  I am going to focus on the longer one first.  If I finish this one in the next couple of weeks, I can put it through it's paces and decide if this one or No.34 will be going up to Rufus.

I'll wait until after that trip to work on the shorter one.  I'm still debating if I want to make this one a shallow trench or just a straight prone board.
