Re: Video - Link did not work, neither did there appear to be a video on the Shweizer Surfboards page, and I was unable to locate your personal page (I think)...

If it's already on YouTube, can you supply the link diirectly to youtube.com? :)

Thanks,

: Hello Scott,

: I think it's great that you are doing this with your daughter. I
: travel a lot as well and it sure hinders production. You may
: remember I posted a while back about a spruce mast I salvaged
: from a wrecked sailboat. Hopefully that will become this board.
: I have not cut into it yet excpet I sawed 1" off the end to
: get beyond the gray weathered part and the wood looks nice and
: has tight grain.

: Your bass/walnut/bass accent sounds awesome. I wish I had access to
: basswood... or for that matter walnut. I had to ship the walnut
: down for my last build. I am probably going to use spruce,
: mahogany, and balsa that I already have, with a pinstripe down
: the waterline of walnut which I have a small amount of. The aft
: deck is probably going to be 2" mahogany, 1/4" balsa,
: repeated. Not sure about the foredeck yet, but it will have my
: siganture Cross of St. James in red Paua Shell on it. I'm really
: thinking racing stripe down the left side on this one instead of
: going symmetrical, although I like things to balance. Maybe dual
: racing stripes to satisfy my need for symmetry!

: The Bullet is going to have a very tight transition around the
: edge. As you can see it's pretty much a vee hull with a hard
: chine. In fact, maybe I need to see about a stitch-n-glue
: version. Does the link to the video work? I wasn't sure if my
: settings would prevent the public from viewing it.

: Keep us posted!

: Malcolm
