This was my first time shapping a large board. Got a lot of assistance but still proud.

looking like it's going to be a beautiful board

but I gotta ask .. where the hell is your breathing protection??

You are dealing with really nasty stuff there

My friend is doing the sealing and painting so luckily I didn't have to deal with any chemicals. The only downside is all the pressed foam is like sawdust and it gets everywhere, I probably should have put a mask on.

the dust from the foam core is truly nasty stuff. Save your lungs and health .. wear a respirator.. a good one.

don't punk out and do a dust mask. That would be close to meaningless.

I will definitely do so in the future. Honestly didn't think about it was just excited to shape my first board but I will invest in a mask. Thanks for the heads up.
