Man, you crack me up, you are a total engineering machine, you make everything, very impressive craftsmanship... interesting stuff, thanks for sharing.

What do Cabrihna and board fabricators may their fins out of?

You are more than welcome to come by the shop and see first hand if you are interested.

Fins are generally made from stuff called G10. It's way stronger than my fins but the reality is if you hit a rock on either, they chip and I have never broke one yet.

Question: Are you neutered yet?
I've got a great idea for a tool to make self neutering more enjoyable- if interested just come by my office (dusty old shop) and I'll give you a free demonstration on the proto-type, Lopitoffofme. :partyman:

I would love to buy some of your fins at Sherman this Summer, hope you will have some.

G, I can see it now, get your pet neutered at my woodshop and get a free jar of cat crap.

An idea just came up. If anyone wanted to make their own fin, I would be willing to cast it for them. Silicone, carbon, epoxy, probably looking at $75-100 depending on size. but you could make them all day long after that for pennies.
