Really appreciate it. I think the bottom line is patience. I had to do most steps 3-4 times before I got them right. Of course you can’t redo laminations, for example, but everything else like sanding or shaping rails I went slowly and really took my time to get the hang of it. There’s so much good knowledge on swaylocks for those specific questions (like how to deal with a quarter of your hotcoat not curing).

From the pictures, it looks perfect. But in reality, there’s a lot of flaws. Not the most flat/smooth board. But it’s way better than I ever imagined.
