Try butter for removing epoxy & other materials. It's like magic and your pets'll love you more :) But it's best for your health to let epoxy harden on and then clean. I learned first hand about absorbing stuff through your skin years ago picking mushrooms on a dewy morning. Lets just say it was...

I like rocker! Are you selling those useless factory seconds?

No need to glass over the veneer. Got any construction shots of the hollow boards? http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7174/6492761863_31e223c917.jpg Surf Board Skewed by Huck Pitueee , on Flickr Here's a balsa board with styro core I did. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7010/6492760727_40cc7c164e.jpg Surf ...

I think the poking holes would ruin the look. I would be worried about delam for sure. How about using the leaves to print on a layer with pigmented resin. Like a block print?

LOL WITH TEARS! My eyes are getting so bad I can't see how bad I'm spelling.

Yeah man, this board is just amazingly beautiful. One of the most striking designs I've ever seen... I'm crazy busy in the shop with no time for building anything for myself, but if I did, what an inspiration! Thanks. Honestly I was surprised how it ended up looking. The tint was old 5 to 1 fast ep...

Thanks. That last tiki board you made inspired me do my best work. At one point I wanted to just spray paint the flame board flat black and ride it.

Nice work on the hardware! I'm a home-machinist myself, so it's always nice to see other people doing their own work! If it's aluminum, why not anodize it and dye it black? :) Amazing what you can do with a band saw a disk sander and some hand tools. I'd be stoked to ano. Is it expensive? I rattle ...

Yea it's aluminum. I'm debating if I should paint them black. All that bling isn't working with the low key look. The inserts are waiting for the top to get buffed out. The kit hardware works allright but I couldn't bear to use it on this board.

Making hardware to hold the splitboard together. All the nice comments got me stoked to go the extra mile.

Ha! The hair dryer one and the tent get up to 95 deg. I just have to keep a close eye on them.

Doohhh!! Sent the same pic twice. Heres the one.

The dowels go through the base. They get drilled and plugged soon. Heres that shot. Normally I make the outer edge go to the center line of the board but this was a base I was repurposing. http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6108/6351684945_ff6bddba07.jpg mojomo007 by Huck Pitueee , on Flickr http://farm7...

Fiberglass hawaii in california. They have a huge selection. I used tinted resin to get the bronze color.

Three steps foreward one step back till it wasn't funny anymore.
