whats happening in the Goddard shed
ok here goes...tassidevils new board is now underway and we have decided to do a running commentry on the build...hopefully it will be of some intrest for you breezers...its a total hand shape something that I think is a dying trade...remember the scientist doc. Edward Sumner Miller...a great quote of his was..."the calculator is breeding mathematical illiteracy" as well as "why is it so"...anyway i think the cnc machine is breeding planer illiteracy...there are a lot of so called shapers out there that have never picked up a planer...I'm not bagging the computer shapes..( I use them myself)...but at the end of the day...you can only say you have shaped it if you have picked up the planer and MOWED SOME FOAM...when it's come out of the computer...you have only finished it off..so as old farts like me start to die off the art of hand shaping most probably will too...I hope not as an old artist in Ubud in the hills of Bali said to me many many years ago, when I told him what I do for a living...he said sufboard shapers are the true artists...he said...unlike me your sculpteurs have to be symetrical...so now that I am using the computer more and more to shape ( and my shoulders are thanking me)...I am finding it allmost theraputic to slow down...take some time and sculpt one...here is how its done......first problem I have and I need some help...how do I get text in between my images my computer illiteracy is showing allready...for now Iwill have to put all the text up here...sorry...photos look to be all over the shop so you will have to work it out yourselves...one is of the shed (of course)...next measure the length....then mark out width...then lay template and draw out planshape...ok I'm posting this and will see how it looks...back again tomorrow night with a little more.
