Dude? Really? You're one of my all time favorites on here!!! Thanks for all the inspiration.

Hehehe.... I <3 Big Dumps. My all time favorite sticker! Finally found just the right place for it! Thanks for all the nice compliments. We are really stoked on how they turned out. Hopefully they'll ride well. Probably be trying them out sometime this weekend. @knights-- yeah, the boards are quite ...

Alrighty... here we go. Round 2 with the planer. This core profiling thing is the sucky part of this whole process. I guess it would be cool if it would come out perfect every time. Next attempt at attaching sidewalls and an extra stip o wood. http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/7594/imag0541m.jpg Lo...

So Brazen.... Ya got one for sale or are you trying to plant the seed of another expensive idea? ;D

OK... so here's last night 's progress on board #3. We're having some issues with the Gorilla wood glue holding very well, so we just threw a little epoxy in the cracks and also on the sidewalls. We're gonna try the sandwich idea with wood on the outside of the sidewalls. And we'll leave it a little...

Thanks again for the compliments. We're really happy with the results. Now hopefully it'll all hold together with some days riding on it. @chrismp-- I think our planer is a Grizzly... it's like 20" wide and definitely industrial. We scored it from my in-laws. It used to be used for building cab...

oops... double post.

So, we moved on to board #2. Decided that we needed to do a real core this time. Holy crap. This added a whole new element. A painful element, I might add. Building cores is not easy. Actually, profiling cores is not easy. So, here we go. Doesn't look much like a snowboard to me. Uhhhh, we got a lon...

Building the crib. Hope this sucka works! http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/7506/img4836l.jpg Eric LOVES Excel!

Holy crap! Thanks for all the compliments! We've pretty much used every single one of your journals/posts as a guide through this whole process. So, thank you all! We just finished up our second board last night and I'm soooooo stoked about it. It turned out way better than I ever thought it would. ...

Dear Skibuilders.com, Let me just start off by saying… YOU SUCK. WE HATE YOU…(sort of). This is our first post to the forum, even though we’ve been lurking for about 5 years now. And for the past 5 years we’ve been trying to convince ourselves that building snowboards and skis is a really bad idea. ...

Wow Brazen... seriously sick board. You do incredible work. When I grow up I want to be just like you!

Hey Mike. Just wanted to tell you thanks for all your help. We have seriously used your posts like our bible to board building. Thanks again.

Hey Deep... looks pretty sick! We're just getting started in this madness (ok, it's been a year!) and actually just pressed our first real board on Saturday. We had some serious issues with core profiling. We built a planer crib and ran it through there a million times. We were within 1 mm and almos...
