Really posting to see how guys like on3p store skis with edges attached and not worry about wrapping. http://i63.tinypic.com/2v0fo5f.jpg We always attach edges at the same time the bases are cut. We've never had issues with edges attached. A few other things to note - our bases are pressed flat und...

Positions are available immediately. We are looking for at least one full time assembler, one full time finisher, then a part-...

http://www.timesaversinc.com/timesavers-academy/cnc-profile-sander Great machines. We had their rep in, and even planned on sending them some materials to test out on their machines. Then we got their pricing, which "start around $150,000"....so not really in our price range. Definitely o...

Hi iggy Had you thought about adding a second spindle to your current CNC and doing 2 things the same at once? (rather than a whole extra CNC) Definitely, but who said it would be a router? :D For speed purposes, we're interested in getting back to a planer or sander for profiling. That said, our s...

These guys make custom aggregate heads for existing CNC Routers, including planer heads: http://www.techniksusa.com/aggregate/custom_aggregate_heads.htm Nice! We've actually looked at them before for their dust evacuation nut, but I will check out and see what they have in regards to planer heads.

I think I saw one on a skateboard maker website (planer head) - will see if I can find it again. You guys look like you're getting pretty handy with DIY solutions. Could prob get a spiral cutter head and get a bracket machined up to hold a motor for belt drive. Yeah Loaded Skateboards has one that ...

Have you thought about a manufacturing bias business coach? I use one for my main business and it's helped a lot having an impartial overview how things are done, mine has looked at (and reviews frequently) all processes from first contact through to production flow and even marketing We've had two...

Hey Scott, who makes that sandblast cabinet you've got? I'm going to be buying one for my shop at home, the one I'm looking at is a Grizzly but it's red. I'm trying to get as many white tools as I can (for brightness in the shop). Factory is looking REAL good. Always awesome to see you guys still g...

nice shop well thought-out. I surprise in you wood shop you don't use cyclone dust collector attachment. Cyclone substantially increase dust collector efficiency. A cyclone DC for the wood room is on the want list, but a few other tools/machines are ahead of it at this time. We run a cyclone in fin...

Great work! Who is EARL? Earl is a mini-press used for pressing test samples. It is actually normally tucked away (the location in those photos is where the newest double bay press will go). We've been doing tons of peel tests recently (mostly as we brought all of our sidewall manufacturing in-hous...

Wow!! You've come so far. I can only imagine what the trip has been like. Serious machinery. Kudos! Noticed the kegerator, nice! What's your capacity? Thanks! We have a few more additions coming soon - one more double bay press (bringing us to 8 bays total), considering a second CNC, maybe a few ot...

Nice! It looks like you have a good layout and flow to the space too. How many sqft is the factory? One of the biggest thing we have been (and continue) to work on is production flow/efficiency and lean manufacturing. We've made a lot of improvements there, but still some improvements to go. Everyt...

Great workspace! I still remember your first batch of skis posted in the journals here...you've come a long way! Why do you anneal the edges if you don't do full wraps? Still too hard and time consuming to bend on a production basis? I believe the edge anneal is far more important in regards to pro...
