routing the frames

From your vision to your windsurfboard made out of wood! (Part 3)

After the center rocker has been cut and planed according to your vision the frames are produced. The outline, length and hight of each frame is given through the 3D-CAD. The frames are made out of poplar like the center line, with the difference that they are made out of 4mm instead of 6mm. Why? Weight, everythig is always about the weight. And strength wise 4mm is enough.

Bevor we give the frames the outline the center needs to be cut free. This also needs to be done on the center rocker according to the positions where the frames will be.

With the router the frames now get their final form. To make this step easier a jig is beeing made. The jig also saves me time.

Could I do all of those steps by hand? The answer is a clear yes.

But in this case the machines make much more sense then to cut everything by hand. And the machines are more accurate for this purpouse.
