Thin... exactly the word that missed in my english vocabulary! Exactly! Cardboard honeycomb would be too weak in the thinner place of the core. But for cross country ski it would be a good stuff no? Less stress on the skis. Or for skate skiing... Anyway. Just tough it may interest you. And maybe res...

I do not intend to build a cardoard ski but while searching information about vaccum press on this forum I saw Big Kam's mysterious core thread (before the release of the pallet skis). I had already saw someone's surf (for waves surfing) made from cardboard so I did a bit of research on this subject...

Ok, even if the pneumatic press seems more accessible I'll build a vacuum system because I want something polyvalent.I may change a lot my molds to make differents kind of skis. Actually I plan to make Telemark and cross country skis for me and my brother (who's smaller than me) so I will build diff...

People using metal part to reinforce wooden mold (to annulate de linear deflexion) apply the same force repartition than webbing would do, no? Yes laying a hose at 50psi during 24 hours is far more easyer than trying to maintain vacuum into a bag for the same time... It's a new variable in the equat...

What an idea!

Why I didn't think about it before! Thank you so much for the hint!

Yes, this is my second option. Especially because I have acces to Cordura 1000 and some tubular climbing webbing... why do you use cordura tube instead of wrapping the superior mold with tubular webbing? The main problem remain into buying a fireman hose... A vacuum setum would cost me under 100$ (w...

Hi people, as I'm new into this world and also a frenchspeaker I could be unclear in my posts. I apologize for this. As I'm juggling with the idea of making ski of split board I'm searching a cheap way to achieve this goal. Of course the press is a major concern. Clamp press seem to be instable, Due...
