I’ve watched a million how to shaping vids and this is one of the best series out there. Awesome how you show the small details from how to hold a planer to what cuts to start with. Love it
Nice one brother! @fitandover40 this series is made for you and these are the "most important steps of the whole process" i was tryung to explain to you
Although it would take a long time it is possible. I know people who have done it, but I personally haven’t attempted it. If you don’t have access to a planer and still want to shape I would recommend a stringer-less EPS blank and a good sheer form.
I just finished shaping one without a planner, and if your blank is close enough, it doesn't take that long, yet must pay attention to taking foam evenly, remember people have been building surfboards for a long time before fancy tools😊
Try not get the string from your shorts caught in the planer. I got it caught in the polisher 5000 rpm Milwaukee once and it wasn’t fun. No more shorts and punched gut.

Glad it was helpful! More on the way soon!
Nice! Planer sure is a tool that takes a while to get used to. Shaped 2 with it but definitely gets a better product.
Totally! After a decade of use I still have a long way to go.
Because Jim said to do it.
That's a very good reason!
I totally agree!
I can't wait to next episode!!!!
Yess
Coming soon
Nice one brother!

Thanks for the video, really helpful! What planer model are you using (sorry if you already mention it previously).
I believe the hitachi p20.
It was modified by US blanks back when they where making them.
Thanks @@zack_flores
What planner are u using?
what kind of surform did you use to takeout the uneven planer passes? mine usually tears so i opt for 40 grit
I use a pretty fine one. I don’t like to use the larger toothed ones at all.
Is it practical to try this without a planner?

Oooh sounds painful😬 Good advice!
Cutting the outline why not use a jigsaw?
I enjoy using my pull saw!
