The first day of longboarding, I traced and cut out my longboard after measuring it.  I decided to make my longboard about seven inches wide at the widest part to make it look more old school and because my small feet fit better on it.  After cutting out my board, I realized it needed to be thinner in some places so instead of cutting it more, I sanded around the places that needed thinning and that took off a lot of the excess wood.  Today, it has been all about sanding and shaping and sanding some more.  I plan on finishing the truck holes this afternoon and sanding some more.
