Iggy, I am intrested in coming by and checking out your palce. I too am local to PDX. I am in the process of getting all the equipment to build my first press and board. Even though I snowbaord, your stuff is very insperational. I am on the mtn this time of year in my free time, i know u can relate....

eric what is the advantage of doing this?

I keep reading in posts about match booking cores. what does match booking mean when building a core??

thanks, i am just a little curious about how are you cutting your ribs accurately to get the camber and rocker in such close proximity.

i am interested in pressing up a board with similarities to the never summer evo. Has anyone tried pressing up a board with this type of rocker camber, just looking for some helpful pointers before I try to press one up like this.

Artski: from what i have read, arent I beams the most stable beams to use for a press? am i correct?

So I looking into purchasing I beams to build my press, I dont want to buy new as I know there has to be somewhere that there has to be somewhere I can find some large I beams that have been gently used. Any ideas where you might of found ibeams at decent cost.

I am getting ready to build my first core, i am curious to what width you are building your cores at for snowboard builds.

Brazen, I have a wood vac press right now. Just looking to step my game up and make a metal press. so much better quality of production!! Thanks for the info.

brazen, very nice press. can you give me info on the size of I-beams you used along with length. looks ideal for what I want to do!!
