SWEET can allways dig that bro love the orders thing there's your call to get that garage in order and make a shop with 3 orders ha ha you need to get ready. You'll be fine from what I've seen and the two youve done have shown you allot ,,, and you know you'll only get better and as your frankinstien stick I do dig the lines the wife is wanting me to make one with the same lines as your blue trouble board, ha ha I think that's what I'll name it,ha ha BLUE TROUBLE ha ha ha . Oh Yea bro airbrushing is easy fun but harder than one thinks man I can't think of how much I practised before I did a board. AH HA HA HA you know you did something right when somebody surfs your board and then want's one,ha ha cool deal happy to hear it. Take as many pics as pos so you can show your lil grom later. As Ian seems pleased with it well,,,, So would have I Good luck bro and happy creations ahead look forward to seeing your next creations and hearing more on the kid thing any questions just ask bro I'll be more than happy to help with what I can.

"oh i thought you said blue deck and white line :lol:

" yep,im pretty pleased with this one,lessons learnt again...my freind jonno told me to only use a spray gun only if i have too...and when i do you can bet ill mask up well and take it easy.
dont worry ian ill only wet and dry as little as i need.two weeks from today you can surf it(i am right in thinking that?thats what my guide sayes although ive read different?????) bearing in mind its pretty cold at the moment..although ive brought a heater for the workshop
im expecting another two blanks in the post tommorow...and when im done on them ill be asking ian if he's ready for another :lol:

funny thing is im not sure if im sick ot the sight of it or i dont want to let it go.......visiting rights ian?? :cry:

thanks for that chris,from a master thats quite something

your not joking on the work bit though! next 2 are small boards..so at least ill be able to move in the workshop,note ive stopped calling it a garage since ive lost the garage door and thrown out everything i can :shock:

i hope to sell some of my own quiver and replace it with some new shapes..i suppose i should have a longboard,so i need to sell my 8"5 circle one to do that. and ive had intrest in my minimal.....so maybee an egg to replace that.
