He said "Four Hundred" so either he made a mistake or like you said, could tell I was younger and didn't want to deal with me. I figured I would call back and talk to someone else.

material suppliers

So I contacted CDW and asking how much they charge for their edges. I talked to Mark there and he said that the minimum order they make is a 500 pound spool and they charge $425 a pound. Thats $212,500! For some reason I find that hard to believe that they only do that size of order. I forgot to ask...

wow this is awesome. I was actually just making my mold today and thinking of how much of a pain in the butt it is to get it exact and flawless. I was thinking how nice it would be to get one cnc machined for my next one. but it would be nice to get a template made. Do you just want us to email you ...

I was thinking about this the other day and talking it over with a friend of mine. & he brought up that a floor sander uses the same size of belt. maybe you could use something like that which you could get at a hardware store and just modify the size of the roll to put the paper on something li...

haha true stuff. Thanks, I am just trying to weigh my options. I see that there is a difference in the sheath of the thermocouple...the cheapest 5SRTC has a glass braid insulation, the second is PFA, and the third is kapton. Does any of that matter? I dont want a glass insulation to crush since we a...

It all depends on what kind of press you are looking to make. If you are planning on making a lot of boards then you are probably going to want a pneumatic board press which can be pretty pricey. If not, then another option is a vacuume press. If you want to make boards that will last awhile then it...

ok, so to get it right... you have the board/ski then on top you put the aluminum, then the thermocouple on top of that, then heat blanket, cat track etc? correct? those kind of thermocouples dont look like they would read correctly due to the fact of not laying flat. the 2 prongs would sit between ...
