Magic Carpet deck.

Deck is underway in teak and pine.

Magic Carpet rails 2.

The rails are done. Western red cedar and pine. Cure over the weekend and can start closing up next week.

Magic Carpet fin block.

Add a few scraps of XPS floor insulation left over from a racing car project and we're nearly good to close up. a few rail strips to add then it can be decked. The block is good for the leash plug also.

made a start on the rails:

Something chubby for the summer - 7'6" =  19" wide nose, 15" tail, 3" thick, front concave to back vee single fin.

150mm rib spacing this time in 4mm ply, 4mm ply bottom, teak and pine offcuts with cedar scraps for the top.
Let me know if you want templates - 7'6 and 7'10 are ready to go.

Run Forrest, Run.

4.2 miles this morning - I'm pretty confident I can make it to the end of the week as I now think I can remember which direction the traffic comes from this side of the Atlantic. Its kind of nice that cars (mostly) give way to pedestrians and cyclists - how refreshing.
 I'm looking forward to a delivery from Wood Surfboard Supply soon - a really cool project to get stuck into once we get back home. Something very special too, and a nice retro twist.

Free (ish) templates

Who says you get something for nothing... Well almost. Donate here: http://www.sirbobbyrobsonfoundation.org.uk/  = its cancer research, and we kind of have family links.

Get free templates - 6'4 or 5'7 mini Simmons. Or a pig, nugget or longboard available soon. Drop me an email or add a comment here.
I'm also doing the Great North run on 16th September so raising money with sponsorship also. Wish me luck - going for 2 hours dead on this worlds biggest half marathon.
