Before you dig in at Sways, read this first.  It will at least give you some idea of how much you need to learn.  Also its presented in a narrative, beginning to end, format.  Much easier to follow than random issues on a msgboard.  Good luck.

ya, i agree...

can't go wrong with Swaylocks if you have a specific question, and SurferSteve's page is great for a beginning to end narrative. 

i started shaping last year, and documented all my shenanigans for the benefit of other beginners out there (like yourself).  go here:

start in the archives and work backwards, most of the shaping was done in june/july/august of last year.

i tried my best to describe the things that the pro's don't tell you from the perspective of a beginner.  hopefully some of the pics will help you visualize the process.  hope this helps (or at least entertains)..
