Subject: Re:  build your own board?

ASD used to sell a "build your own board" book. They may still sell
it. I have made my own board and suggest getting the book and having
someone shape the board for you. I think I paid $200 for a shaped
board which I glassed for another $100 in materials. ASD sells boards
for $750 which are probably worth a $100-$200 more than your final
product due to their higher quality so this means your time is only
buying you $250 to $350 in savings. Maybe it is worth it. I bet you
will put 20+ hours in to making it.
