sorry, but it's been discussed in so many threads. The more repeated questions there are the harder it is to find the good info. I've been starting to wonder if a forum is the best technology for the info around here. I'm sort of wondering if it's time to set up a wiki for the regular howto type of...

At first reading I couldn't figure out why you would router the base of the ski. Are you doing something crazy like trying to go up hill on these? As I recall yes. There was a conversation a while back about adding fish scales like on cross country skis in an effort to make a touring ski with no ne...

I'd suggest doing something different with the text. No sense in putting half of your name under someone's bindings and boots. Try fitting it under the mountains or on the tail and see how it looks.

A bit of advice. Mentioning where in the world it is might make someone consider buying it...

I'm sure it's technically possible but you'd want to account for the heat transfer capabilities of the materials used in your press. You could probably get around the problem by pre-heating the materials and building it fast before it cools or building it even faster in the "hot box" befor...

Just be careful printing from SnoCad. Some people have had issues with scale and such. After printing make sure to measure to check accuracy.

I think many new forum visitors are overwhelmed by the growing number of threads and the sheer amount of things you need to learn in order to make your first pair of skis. I've been thinking about this for a while. Has anyone thought about starting a wiki with all of the obvious stuff so the forum ...

any insight on an LLC vs. a s-corp? My basic understanding is that a LLC is easier to operate, but that you pay more in taxes because of the self employment tax. Not sure which one would be best in this situation. For obvious reasons I don't have the time to answer this right now but I will come ba...

I'm actually an accountant who deals with a fair number of S-Corps. Head Monkey's post is dead on and he gave great advice. One thing that he doesn't mention but is probably pretty obvious is the fact that if you want to start selling skis and snowboards get yourself a good insurance policy. To be h...

I'm guessing that phpBB can't link to images who's URLs don't end in .jpg or .gif but I can't be 100% sure that's the reason

uhhhh, vertically laminate it. Don't want to plane it down and use a single piece of flooring. At least I wouldn't think so. Planing off the finish is a good idea. Are you saying that it might be a good idea to cut the flooring into strips turn the strips 90 deg and re-assemble? Bamboo flooring is ...

You'd probably have to ask this at Kinkos. Find out what the software used to control the printer handles natively and use that if available to you.

where are you located? I wouldn't bet on it but maybe someone else in your area might want to go in on an order to save on shipping?

Try these guys Rawhidefirehose.com. It sounds like a few people around here have bought from them and been happy.

Ok I'm building my bag my self (idiotic but hopefully cheap) out of house building foil. I need one of those plastic sealers! :idea: You might want to check out the article on custom vacuum bags from Joe Woodworker http://joewoodworker.com/veneering/makingbags.htm.
