The Rocker and first impressions - Prvi dojmovi i zakrivljenost

The first impression is - BEAUTIFUL!

You can't really see the shine, might be better with my other camera! But shine it is.

I'm still not finished! The last fiberglass layer on top to go! It will happen this days and than I'll reveal the top side of my new board! Yeah, sorry about that for keeping you waiting!

There are many things what I can show here but more important than anything is The Rocker. It's just as designed by my plaster mold. Not taking into the account some spring back of a ply wood might reduce the rocker a little bit.

But it's been more than 10 days since gluing and a spring back is about 2-3 mm! Which is great! I'm expecting to reduce some spring back even more with a new fiberglass layer.

The commercial board is on the right hand side. The wooden one is my work!

Prvi dojam je - PRE KRASNO!

Ovdje se ne vidi sjaj drveta no pokusati cu boljim aparatom!

No, nisam zavrsio dasku. Jos jedan sloj fiberglasa ide na gornju povrsinu! To cu pokusati ovih dana i nakon toga cu pokazati kompletnu dasku. Zao mi je, ali morati cete se strpiti!

Ima nekoliko stvari koje bi ovdje iznio no najvaznija je zakrivljenost, tzv. Roker! Proizasao je upravo kako sam i ocekivao sa mojom sablonom od gipsa. Nisam uzeo u obzir savijanje daske nazad i to ce svakako malo ublaziti zakrivljenost.

No sada je vise 10 dana proslo od lijepljenja i zakrivljenost se umanjila za svega 2-3mm. Sto je odlicno!
Ocekujem da cu sprijeciti daljnje izravnjavanje sa novim slojem fiberglasa.

Kupovna daska je na desnoj strani. Drvena daska je mojih ruku djelo.

  3. Ha,ha, thx!
    The next project is not a board! Was thinking for long how to make it!

    My readers are almost all coming from one site and state. My homeland.
    Australian/US/rest readers are very rare.

    Cheers,
