Drew and I did some research and more cutting yesterday evening - we picked up the rest of the foam blanks from my house and then headed over to his place. We worked on some logo ideas first - we have some ones we're pretty pumped about and we're planning on picking a few of our favorites and getting you all to vote on the winner for us. After that, we compared our rough rocker cuts to Drew's quiver of boards to compare sizes and shapes. It looks like we've got quite a bit of sanding to do, but it also looks like we're on the right track, which is awesome!
Today was an exciting one for our little board project too - yesterday we'd dropped off 11 96"x9"x3/4" solid birch hardwood planks to our woodworking elf Micah, who worked his magic and turned those boards into 22 3/16" stringers. And these stringers are beautiful! We got all that wood as leftovers for less than we'd have had to pay for a single board at Home Depot, and they are going to look awesome in the boards.
That also means that tonight might see us gluing our first board together. We've got 2 boards (4 blanks) worth of rough hotwire cuts left to do as well, so we'll see what happens. I'm going to stick up a few videos below too.
Attendees: Drew, Justin, and Micah off-site (rumour has it that "The Kat" might make an appearance tonight, so we've got our fingers crossed)
