Nice

Excellent Petr! That feeling when the board starts to take shape from the foam is so good! Especially on that first board! Looks like a nice outline.

Awesome!!!!!

Sweet Petr! What are you using for the stringer material?

hurray! looks nice. and i think you don't need an electric planer. <a href="http://www.stanleyworks.cz/">surform</a> should be plenty enough for this, you're quite close to the shape. <BR> <BR>aah, now i see ... you need a planer for the stringer. that's why i always end up in hornbach (read home depot) on saturday morning, because my father is a hobbyist modeller and we have most of the tools at home (except some of them). <BR> <BR>(Message edited by bartj on August 12, 2008)

After the first board , you just cant stop, LOL . NICE LOOKING SHAPE

Thanx for watching <BR> <BR>Matt - that feeeeeling is awesome! <BR> <BR>Jeff - I am using 4mm plywood. I think its from 2 layers of beech and 1 layer of pine I guess, not exatcly my choice, I would rather use some poplar. Just my friend make them for me on big machine. I was thinking about PVC too or something else but I love wood more <BR> <BR>Jan - my surform is ready to bite, but I expect that planer will do more exact and smooth work in shaping. Flow of water need to be smooth, no bumps. For one board is surform ok, but I plan to do some research and develop more of them. <BR> <BR>Mike yes I worry about it <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0> but I more prefer splashing water and riping waves than work with fiberglass and sanding <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/crazy.gif" border=0> <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/proud.gif" border=0> But yes I plan to do more boards - at least there is hidden around 10 of boards in that EPS block <BR> <BR>(Message edited by hawaj on August 14, 2008)

Hey where did you get the foam from and how much did it cost?

Sorry Will but I live in Europe, Czech Republic. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" border=0> I ordered it directly in foam factory. <BR>Ask Surfdad he knows.

Hey Will, <BR> <BR>Most common foam for garage builders is that EPS - 2#. If you can locate it, get virgin beads meaning no reground material in the billet. I order billet in 2# 3" x 24" x 60" for about $20-25 per sheet. More if it's shipped. <BR> <BR>I see you're in Georgia, you should hit Lakewakes/Mark up, he's in your neck 'o the woods, he can probably give you the best local supplier. <BR> <BR>These folks are all in GA <BR> <BR>GEORGIA <BR> <BR> Cellofoam <a href="http://www.cellofoam.com" target="_blank">www.cellofoam.com</a> <BR> <BR> PermaTherm <a href="http://www.permatherm.net" target="_blank">www.permatherm.net</a> <BR> <BR> Georgia Foam <a href="http://www.gafoam.com" target="_blank">www.gafoam.com</a> <BR> <BR> ACH <a href="http://www.achfoam.com" target="_blank">www.achfoam.com</a> <BR> <BR>Universal <a href="http://www.univfoam.com" target="_blank">www.univfoam.com</a>, will ship to you not great quality, and the minimum order is like $250, but it's easy.

i would try <a href="http://www.gafoam.com" target="_blank">www.gafoam.com</a>
