Hi fellas, hey I have been hunting around and wonder if this is the stuff we need? http://www.allstategasket.com/info_gasket_material_style-1117.asp or this ? http://www.right-tape.com/html/prod_silicone_rubber.html#photo2 (thinking of part number 21400) These are similar , seem to be vulcanisable t...

$2? I will add one asap ! I have a $5 silencer on my plumbing already and its awesome, when I release the pressure it is a lot easier on the old ears, I also have a needle valve to control the inflation/deflation rate as its more adjustable than the good old ball valve. Never enough safety precautio...

I've got a 2nd hand Norgren regulator/drier on my press, and have it limited to 60psi, longer term I intend to add an over pressure valve like Mike Magruder has on his MonkeyPress, thats prob the best and cheapest fiddleproof protection anyway. Glad to hear you didn't get any flying metal - can you ...

sorry found the link, all good, thanks mate!

sweet thats a pretty good deal, thanks for the contact details. I tried downloading that pdf but its pretty high level about CDW profiles and no detailed edges specs???? Did I get the wrong one? cheers, Rich

Hi Guys, now my press is complete I'm starting to accumulate materials. From offshore I need base material and tip/tail and have been in touch with Crown Plastics so thats covered, inserts I have sorted, only other think I need offshore is edges and I would like to start with something meaty - my yo...

You will no doubt be successful in something with all those academic and people skills you have - ever wondered what some of these very clever people you're sparing with do for day jobs and have experienced and learnt in the last 20-30 or more years since high school? Some of them might be successfu...

Hey bud, listen to the advise you're getting, step back and think before you open your mouth or blog, MM is right most of what you've said is a load of BS. If you want to be a part of this very helpful team then don't stir up shit all the time. You are young and keen, thats great stay that way, but ...

lost for words!

Hey mate, you need to listen to these guys, this is the concerned voice of experience from several people who have either learnt the hard way or know better cause they have the nouse. Their only motivation in advising you is to stop you killing or maiming yourself or your family/mates. If your press...

Gidday, like richuk I am a long way here from the action in the US. However our beer and snow is pretty good down here so anyone of you guys if you're heading to NZ drop me a line and we can compare beers and ski presses etc! cheers, Rich

Hi , yep I have been wrestling with my hoses too, they twist noticably and require a bit of force to twist stright when inflated. I am not sure how madly this will affect laminating when they are jammed inbetween the cassette and top of press but I am trying to sort mine out too. I think this is due...

wicked shed mate, just about same size I want to build to put my workshop in, too many kids bikes and other stuff. Good luck with the ski building.

Hi, I'm in CHCH currently finishing my press. Its a 2.5m long 350mm wide I-beam style side loader, very meaty approx 700KG finished made out of 360UB50 beams and 32 x 24mm 8.8 bolts holding it together. This style is way stronger and I believe a lot easier to use, however it is more heavy materials ...

Hi, I'll try a bit of wandoo if I can get my hands on it, sounds like good stuff. I forgot about stringers but I have always intended to back the inserts with some reinforcement patches albeit carbon or kevlar, in windsurfers we build them with large carbon patches around fin box and mast base to di...
