I had to cut down the board for noah to 17 wide due to bad cutting out on one side, so got it better and now I have to cut in the rails, am looking at doing boxy rails for him, nice and soft. Should have rails cut in by sunday.

I took out the cd player, had jimmi blasting in the background, nothing like a bit of hendrix and doing something you love, now that I finished that little task its time for a beer and to longingly look at the board for a while, just to imagine what I will do next, as fong would call it, visulization ( or however the bloody hell you spell the word)

[diggerdickson]

going for the all nighter tonight in a attempt to get noahs board done, can use planner till about 8, finally got the rocker to close to what I want, just need to look at profile a bit closer now. Will post up pick a little later.

50/50 rails all the way around the board. soft and forgiving. Been working on it since 1 and its now 7.30. Hopefully will get rails cut in. Im very slow but each time I did a bit got the rocker stick out and did my measurements trying for perfection, but fall way short but having a hell of a lot of fun doing it.

Damn I wish I had a tin shed somewhere that was lined so the noise would not get out to much and I could just go hard at it till 12, missus is looking at me now with the evil eye saying that I cant use the planner this late at night due to neighbours kid in bed, damn it. When I get home from work tommorow. Time to sweep up.

Don't lose any sleep, Digger even the machined boards are usually not symmetrical.

'tis all about intent.

[diggerdickson]

Hey Daryl you get around since you visited me down here you covered a lot of coastline well done , all you need now is a trailer with a trampoline

[diggerdickson]

The board is completed. Im loving the look of the egg, should be awesome for my boy to lie on and get the feel for a surfboard. So over the moon with this one. Tommorow there is a little bit to do on the tail, then me and Noah will get it a final sand together so he still feels part of the project and then will make some templates for flames, as my boy wants flames Will get him to spray them on the board Wenesday. Pics to follow

[diggerdickson]

heres some pics, dan your a legend for resize and I really cant test ride before I give it to my boy. No idea when I will glass, but once sprayed I will wrap in bubble wrap until ready to glass. I must learn to be a patient man, lol.

[Quangers]

^^^^It's looking good. What do you have to do to the tail?

LOL, seek perfection Thanks quangers

[diggerdickson]

Im thinking of getting one of those digital prints that jd got on his thread for my boys board. Get a ASTRO BOY digital print for the bottom of the board, that would be so cool.

[diggerdickson]

spray job, british green racing strips with checkers, must have checkers. Now my boy wants flames, I was going to go red, but a suggestion has been made of lighter green, mmmmm, thinking time, lol.

Thanks for the resize dan, here are the photos
