Part 2: High performance Mini Simmons from Insulation foam

Spent some time Saturday in the backyard laboardatory shaping my xps foam insulation blank that I made by glueing 4 sheets of foam insulation board together. 

 

I think the glue lines actually helped the shaping process by giving me a reference point.

Thinning down the tail was tricky but I think I got it pretty close to the way I want it. 

Working on shaping a hullish entry into it, tricky...

Glue lines once again helped in getting it fairly even all the way around...still rough but it's a work in progress.

Rocker view...

So still a lot more shaping and rail work to do but I got it roughly the way I want it.

Stay stoked!!
