Talking shape your own board

want to shape your own board then take it out into the wave?

I've found learning to shape, especially starting out can be a frustrating process,
I've spent months researching technique, resourcing materials, trying to get useful information,

Speaking with established shapers you would think that it was a secret socierty,
every one's sooo vauge, you have to make half your tools, there's only one book
that goes in to detail and that's a bit out dated now (still uses glassed on fins)
and only list suppliers in japan and the USA!

Well I've just found a great company on the web that I thought I would share
with you all: www.homeblown.co.uk

I found it while i was researching the 'echo' board that was produced
out of eden anyone thinking of shaping a board should check this site out first.

If any one has some useful tips, or similar resources don't be mean share the info.
I really like the idea of making my own 'echo board' if pos.

cheers Woody.
