I first made an unsuccessful attempt at a plywood frame for an HWS version of this board. For some reason I was being overly hasty and impatient in every aspect of construction and it bombed badly. The ply was also a bad choice and my construction method wasn't up to standard either. The unfinished frame went into the rafters and I set about chambering a third even though the waste was now a heavy weight on my conscience. I decided that this would be my last chambered board and that some hard work and even harder thinking was necessary to develop my own construction method to minimise waste & weight and optimise performance & strength.
Board no.3 was first glassed with two x 6oz on top and one x 6oz on bottom. This was my first foray into glassing and I must say that no amount of research and preparation could have prepared me. Not enough resin, too much MEKT cat., working too slow = Bad glass job. It has since been de-glassed and oiled then sunk due to a faulty join and now resides on the wall of the living room.
