thank you all so much for your responses, im sorry i took so long to get back to you
if you are still willing to help, can you please give me your email address so we could talk about actually getting this project on its way?
thanks!

Im currently doing a science research project on building skis with bamboo cores. Does anyone in the area of New England, especially Connecticut have a ski press already made? Or is there someone who could help me with this project?
