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!
I can't wait to next episode!!!!
Yess
Coming soon
Because Jim said to do it.
That's a very good reason!
I totally agree!
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.
Excellent tutorial! Can’t wait till the next one👍
Thanks! Next one will be out soon…

What planner are u using?
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 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!
