I have noticed several differant methods on how people are setting up the work benches is the method of useing all thread really worth the time I was considering using shrink wrap and clamps or just go with clamps and cinderblocks as weights. If anyone has experience with this i could sure use some input i have my plans and materials for the most part just trying to decide which way to go I am in Costa rica so have alot of nice woods to choose from i am going with laurel and spanish cedar for the decks with a little pine mixed in. On another note has anyone painted the rails an bottom of any of the sups would like to see some pics

I used the all thread method. The adjustability is awesome. I plan on making at least 2 different boards which have different rocker dimensions/curve. With that said I don't really know if it was worth the extra work or not. Check out my thread 11ft sup in Kansas.

I used cinder blocks for the deck pressure. I found that to be super easy and cheap.

1974 is right, go with the all thread version! I didn't do it that way and my rocker table will need alot of work before my next board. In fact it took a lot of work just to set the rocker on the board I have built!
I'm jealous about the wood, seems that it is next to impossible to find nice straight clear grained wood here in FL.
Keep the faith and let us know how it is goin!

I thought the all thread would be the way to go its not the money I like things easy which isnt allways the best I havent even started yet and I have at least 40 hours in research on how to build and finish the board off, as for the wood yes I am lucky Costa rica has tons of balsa, pochote,spanish ceder,laurel, teak ect.. and its cheap becuase there are so many small mills around 2 men operations just have to make sure about the curing process down here.
