Awesome video Keef. I won't be surprised if it goes viral out there in Youtube world. Great music, and that overhead mould separation scene, with applause, perfect timing. I'm inspired to get out in the shed to make a secret weapon for August.

thanks Ian, its good to see theres someone out there with enough attention span too notice that its a vid on how to make a fin and not how to edit a movie
you will be impressed with the fin phil layed up on the weekend 270gr without barrel nuts , looks like he's going to be a movie star, got some good footage laying up the mold for the final vid (go phil) Ian if you need any help give me a call, cya next westerly
phil thanks for personally delivering the barrel nuts , how did you know I was running short

Really nice video Keef much clearer, made a fin myself this weekend couldn't wait for the unidirectional carbon turned out ok, much more difficult to work with twill, might try putting the stainless steel edge in the next one, getting better each time. What is the thickness of the stainless strip you use and do you preshape the stainless strip edge before placing it in the mould or grind the edge into it after it's all set? Westerlies starting this week hope to catch you at the lake.

Great vid Keef. They look like sweet fins. Perfect for LI. See you on Thursday?

Hi Keef - yes, I'm keen.

Maybe better on Friday for LI? Normal moving forecast.....!

Grinding stainless makes a lot off heat be very careful shaping it in the fin. Too much heat will stuff the epoxy bond
