Well you could have been in the ether over my head while I was glassing it perhaps???

Yes just uploaded some more.

Been busy scanning B&W photos and colour slides, so there's a few more posted now, can't be bothered linking all of them, but this is the last.

Certainly happy to share but I'm not sure about a blog, and I don't think there's much more interesting stuff.
I guess I'll have to go thru it all sometime and sort it out. Photography was/is a minor hobby, but there's a lot of junk.

another 3 slides scanned, starting here

The picture of the board you made with your dad....how the fk did you turn it??

Fairly slowly as I remember, wasn't long before I went high tech and built a new fangled foam model, mind you that wasn't a heap lighter, had jarrah stringers and Karri plywood nose piece, and a 17oz + 6oz glass job, but did have more rocker thou. I certainly remember turning that.
Used to practise with a plank of wood sitting on a rock near the back of the plank.
Standing on the plank with a foot either side of the rock.
The exercise was to lift the front up by weighting the back foot and pushing in diferent sideways directions with each foot as you did so. getting a big plank to turn 90deg was the goal.
It's a very similar action to turning a heavy mal, lots of effort involved!
