After Drew and I spent an afternoon cutting out one rocker and one shape for a single board, we decided to streamline our process, and get our good friend Micah "on board" for today's effort. Micah is building a board with us too, so it worked out in line with our master plan.
Micah is a very gifted woodworker, and he tore through the rest of the masonite templates with the jigsaw one-handed, while blindfolded and juggling with his other hand. It was wicked. Drew and I kept him working by tracing out doubles of every template before-hand so we have two of everything.
Our plan was to mount the templates to each side of our foam blanks and use our fancy-dancy hotwire to make quick work of the foam, removing much of our chance to make a big mess of things. This seemed like a good idea but required a lot of prep-work. But we're still amped, so we had a grand time!
By the way, a huge thanks to Drew's dad, Fred, for letting us use a corner of his heated garage for making a mess in.
Attendees: Drew, Justin, Micah (Kat, in spirit I'm sure)
