Just finished this fella on the weekend...5'10 x 21 x 3 double ender...bottom is double concave to spiral vee which runs about 2/8 of an inch deep....did some plywood fins templated of the MR-X...just need to do the other set to make it a quad glass it and I am away...added up all the costs and because I got the blanks on special this board will cost less than $150 start to finish....
Like how you've slightly offset the green away from the stringer brother ..... very nice work on the fins too - they'll look the shizz after glassing for sure I reckon ... awesome job ! ![]()
Thats some truly beautiful word their Tux - well done!! !!
What did you glass it with? That glass job is looking much improved - there may be hope for me yet ![]()

Looks pretty similar in outline to one of my boards, should go well through flat sections...very cool fins too ![]()

Is that the ECS bulldog bro? I had a go on a mates and was very impressed
Hey Tux - it was just one cake of wax! I ordered my new blanks today - you motivated me. Thanks! Picking them up early next week so I can play in the garage over Easter whilst the bird is away. Excited!

What size did you get bro?
Once I finish up with all these sub-6 footers I am thinking of ordering some gun blanks in the 8ft range...
6'5" kneeboard blank - thinking a min simons with this one. And a 10' for a nose riding log for those small days.
Very nice Ted, sadley I have been deep in renos and havent been able to do anything fun for the past couple of months, starting to loose my mind.

Oh farkin tell me about it.... Renovating sucks a big fat hairy snatch...
this week I'm onto the bathroom....![]()
I have plasterboard up in the old part of the house and next week will do the existing. Then I need to get turdy and sparky in to do second fix. Then floorboards polished and laminate flooring in new part. Then bathrooms, then paint. Then get all the kitchen, bedroom, laundry joinery in and window coverings.
Looking about two months out.

Just think of all the money you will make when you sell it...then you will have even more money for a bigger reno next time......
Sorry to highjack the thread Tux, your boards are looking saweet. SP and myself are just in it deep and having a good ol' fashioned whinge!!
All good bro...I love any building talk...you got me so fired up I went to bunnigs to buy a new drop saw blade and some saw horses all disguised as purchase's to make a mothers day gift.....![]()

Just a thought on the spray Tux, have you thought about doing a black pin line around the green squares? Similar to makahas splice board?
I just think it would make that green really pop as the spray (offset squares) is a great pattern ![]()

Yes mate, has served me well except when trying to stall in big Airport rights. You havta delay your bottom turn or straighten up & fang right to line up barrels. Doesn't like a late takeoff either coz its gotta really flat rocker, but other than that its a great all rounder ![]()
^But back to Ted's board, it does look great in shape. But aesthetically speaking, I'd agree..some black lines would look good on it. But I suspect he might be a step or 2 ahead of us ![]()

Luckily parts of ours were already done. Bathroom will be the last job for a while. Hopefully.

Yours sounds like its been a complete rebuild... I'm not that brave.
Don't you have a chippie for a father in-law SP. get him to do it ![]()
Yeah , he is also retired. So always bloody away somewhere.
