Wooden Surfboard Project, Winter 2010-11: Attaching tail and nose blocks

http://woodsurfboard2011.blogspot.com/2011/03/attaching-tail-and-nose-blocks.html

Wooden Surfboard Project, Winter 2010-11. Photos and learning from a first time builder. Tuesday, March 22, 2011. Attaching tail and nose blocks. I followed instructions from the design I purchased: spend time with the flat file prepping the surfaces and then get creative with clamping. A few bungee cords helped.Next time I'll get used bicycle tires as I damn near lost an eye with the bungee cord hooks flying around. The bottom two pics show the big, disproportionate tail block glued to the tail.

Wooden Surfboard Project, Winter 2010-11: Cheater Coat

http://woodsurfboard2011.blogspot.com/2011/03/cheater-coat.html

Wooden Surfboard Project, Winter 2010-11. Photos and learning from a first time builder. Saturday, March 26, 2011. Decided to put a small logo on the board and kept it simple: "D Reese", with "Basement Boards"a smaller font below; both in Lucida Handwriting font. Placing it just above the tail block fully within one of the cedar bands. Here's Peter from Moonlight with my son, Sam, with the board after the cheater coat. It's hard to describe how happy I am with how it's looking. Pics only slide show.

Wooden Surfboard Project, Winter 2010-11: Another !@#$-up

http://woodsurfboard2011.blogspot.com/2011/04/another-up.html

Wooden Surfboard Project, Winter 2010-11. Photos and learning from a first time builder. Tuesday, April 5, 2011. So, it's my first time. Apparently, the care I took in placing wood blocks for the side fin boxes was not well informed. Moonlight hit air when drilling to set the side boxes - a thin slice of moon-shaped air. Next time, I'll get more of a tutorial on the router path for FCS fin boxes - or I'll do glass-ons. July 10, 2012 at 1:54 PM. Dave @ D and J Wooden Boards. Pics only slide show. Awesome ...

Wooden Surfboard Project, Winter 2010-11: Blocking for fin boxes, tail and nose laminates

Wooden Surfboard Project, Winter 2010-11. Photos and learning from a first time builder. Tuesday, March 22, 2011. Blocking for fin boxes, tail and nose laminates. Much progress was made from when I started the day before Thanksgiving to mid-December, mostly at night and a couple of hours each day on weekends. Ribs, spar, bottom deck and rails were assembled and glued. Measurement above top of spar. Given where my rails are already set, these dimensions seem to be a good target. 155 / 15.5. 2175 / 21.5.

Wooden Surfboard Project, Winter 2010-11: Glassing update

http://woodsurfboard2011.blogspot.com/2011/04/glassing-update.html

Wooden Surfboard Project, Winter 2010-11. Photos and learning from a first time builder. Monday, April 11, 2011. Spoke with Moonlight Glassing last week. Since I won't be in town again until late May, they're doing exactly what they indicated they'd do, i.e., taking their time so that the resin cures correctly. They were routing and placing the center fin box and then it'll go to final glassing and polishing. I'll beg them for pics. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Pics only slide show.

Wooden Surfboard Project, Winter 2010-11: More clamps please . . . gluing the top deck

http://woodsurfboard2011.blogspot.com/2011/03/more-clamps-please-gluing-top-deck.html

Wooden Surfboard Project, Winter 2010-11. Photos and learning from a first time builder. Tuesday, March 22, 2011. More clamps please . . . gluing the top deck. This step is conceptually easy, but harder to pull off. My lessons:. 5) This operation needs more than 2 hands and a foot holding things down as you get clamps in place. My 15 year old son was critical in helping me get the clamps in place, shim them, etc. 6) I used every clamp I had - we counted a total of 53. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Wooden Surfboard Project, Winter 2010-11: Stacked triangular strips to build the rails - pros and cons

http://woodsurfboard2011.blogspot.com/2011/03/stacking-rails-pros-and-cons-to-this.html

Wooden Surfboard Project, Winter 2010-11. Photos and learning from a first time builder. Thursday, March 17, 2011. Stacked triangular strips to build the rails - pros and cons. Each of 4 triangular strips is glued in leaving a rail that looks like this below. It's pretty slick the way that the triangular pcs. stack and interact with each other as you form the curved outline of the board. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Pics only slide show.
