This weekend I finished shaping board number two, and glassed the first two layers. Here are four pictures from the end of the shaping process. Before these pictures were taken, the tail was domed, and I was planning to leave it like that. But the stringer was sticking up a bit, and I wanted to save some time by trimming it with the planer... Carefully... Just a 1/32" of an inch... Chomp! The planer ate a piece of my tail - there was a huge gash. So then I was forced to reshape the tail, and now it's flat. Another way to put this, is that the planer knew better than me - There was no way it was gonna put up with that crazy domed tail!
