Whenever two or more woodworkers find themselves within shouting distance of each other, conversations erupt.  Talk of project accomplishments and challenges spews forth like sawdust from a kicked-over dust-collection bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, it was no surprise recently when I heard one leather-face, callous-hand fellow with a tattered ball cap say he was in the gloss-finishing stage of a cuckoo clock he intended to be an heirloom for his grandchildren.  He made no attempt to suppress his smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another gent with pleated pants and button-down shirt collar shook his head slowly after describing an exotic plank that split when he drilled a pilot hole and countersink for a screw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was a bit shocked, however, when one elderly man told of his frustration.  Did his project collapse in a late stage of the process?  Were his mitered corners not squaring up?  No.  Turns out he was dismayed because he was unable to think of a suitable task to tackle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing seemed to meet his needs: not too much time required for completion; no need for a high-end shop; and, for similar reasons, no great expense for supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I understood his predicament.\u00a0 We all have time pressures and, often, we want the gratification of project completion not too far beyond our beginning point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, simple, quick and inexpensive are just what we need.\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, I gave those specifications some thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having already written and published two instructional woodworking books based on more elaborate and time-consuming projects, I decided it was time for another one that aligned with these other desires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, the Build Yourself A Bad-Ash Boogie Board<\/a><\/strong><\/em> book was born.  The 144-page fully illustrated assembly guide has a companion template<\/strong><\/a> available from the Seawood Longboards website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This build can be completed with simple, common tools and even limited work area.  It also can be accomplished fairly quickly\u2014in a weekend for basic construction and water-proofing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The book includes nearly 200 process photos and detailed instructions with tips, tricks and shortcuts for easy and fast production.  The designated template is sure to make the build a breeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a subsequent meeting of the aforementioned sawdust makers, the crusty codger took news of the book well.  With widened eyes, he said he was going to jump into a wood-and-foam boogie board project immediately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As my mind was formulating an image of this septuagenarian splashing and dashing along the face of a pitching and pounding mammoth-size wave, he interrupted my thinking.  \u201cMaybe when I\u2019m finished constructing it,\u201d he said, \u201cI\u2019ll give it to my grandson as a gift.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I encouraged him to give it a ride or two before making that decision.  He just might want to put some nautical miles on it before passing it along to someone else.
