| 223027 | 11440 | Molded, Reverse Engineered, Handshaped by One Only...WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE TO YOU? | 46 | Bruce Fowler | Oct 11, 2021 | 2021-10-11T13:55:00-0400 | Andrew Johnson said: Huh? It sounds like you are equating new practices in surfboard design and building to stealing mail. "Educating," got it. Click to expand... No, I just threw that in there becuz people & accounts still mail me checks and I had three stolen over the past few months. I found IF you put up your red flag for the postal carrier to p/u, it sends a signal for thieves to grab it first. I guess the only parallel there is in my posting/mentioning it is the fact that people are looking for any which way to make a buck that doesn't take any or a lot of effort. This is esp. true in CA where people are financially distressed. People are quick to politicize just about everything these days w/o considering there might be shades of gray in between. As far as methods of creating surfboards, there are more ways to create them than ever before, and some are more to one's liking than another. I was lucky to finally be able to buy another planer while my trusty stable of Clark Hitachi's & Skil 100's get some badly needed TLC from a guy I know that will go thru all four of them and dial them in. They are long overworked for this type of attention. I was running on fumes getting orders out for custom hand shapes and every resource I looked at for a modified planer fitting my purpose was sold out. Finally after three months, this one became back in stock for $700. I bought it immediately. It works really well with an action somewhere between the Skil 100's & Clark Hitachi F30A's (larger Clark version). The action of my other planers differ as to balancing from their toe piece to tail beds. |
