About 12 years ago, I bought 3 blocks of EPS foam that were 4' x 4' x 13" and $5 each. Left them at my dad's house and just recently brought them to my house to use. I sliced up the foam using the 13" as the width, thinking I would add a stringer. Unfortunately, my hot wiring skills suck and I never seem to be able to get a clean cut with the crappy home made wires I have. I ended up with funky cuts and decided to skip the stringer, so I glued up the front and back halves, then glued it all together to make my blank. What I ended up with was a challenge to work with, but this is not the first time I've shaped messed up foam.
This is the glued up foam. I clamped these rocker templates on to keep the foam solid while I hack away the excess and make a smooth blank.
