| 135201 | 4461 | Stoker V machine - Fowler or Anderson? | 49 | Bruce Fowler | Aug 5, 2018 | 2018-08-05T18:12:00-0400 | Tully said: Not sure, I bought it in Jan 2014. It was damaged in shipping, so I had it professionally repaired and the guy pointed out the glassing/sanding job... You can see the sand throughs discolored in the pic i posted. Click to expand... I've been rereading some of this thread, and 2014 more than likely would have been Haakenson by then. It would be easy to tell because his glassing logo would be on it. It would be hard for me to believe Stan (Fuji) sanded it as he has (and still does) sand for Hawk, has been a shaper in the past but has sanded thousands of boards. Maybe it was Hawk and he had a bad day? Or he had a fill in guy during that period. There isn't a lot of turnover, and if you were to walk in and look at the hotcoats on all the boards they look more like gloss coats than most people's hot coats! They are sanded with 150 grit.... so there's no heavy handed sanding going on there. Still, they're made by humans, and it's too bad one got thru less than up to standard. |
