How to use this prompt
Shaping is a subtractive process, so the prompt centres on "planing a foam blank" with "fine foam dust in the air" — the dust is the evidence that material is coming off and the detail that makes the scene feel like work rather than display. The board rests "on padded stands," which is the real setup and keeps the blank at working height. Templates on the wall are the shaper's reference and a quiet authenticity cue. Keep the light bright and even; a shaping bay is a working space, not a moody studio. A 3:2 frame fits the long horizontal blank and the shaper alongside it.
Variations to try
- Rail work — close-up of the rail being shaped by hand
- Glassing — the board being laminated with resin
