Welcome to Nick DeJianne's Shaping School Page.
When Rick came over I think he didn't know what to expect, which soon ended.He jumped right in with the power tools and showed great skill with them for the first time. All I had to do is show him once how to do a step and he did it no problem.
I never saw a guy concentrate more than Rick, I can say he classifies as a perfectionist and a good listener. His enthusiasm was unending but yet he had the patience to make sure he did each step right.

I had a lot of fun showing Rick how to make his own board and I was very impressed by the outcome. I think Rick has been bitten by the shaping bug, since he finished his board he bought 7 more blanks to make in his basement.Rick is our newest member to our surf line up and will be a friend for life
