hey guys, i live out in golden and just signed up at the club workshop last week. i haven't had a chance to use the cnc there yet but for the cost ($99/month) it probably works out to be the same cost, if not cheaper than paying somebody else to do the work for you, plus you have access to all the ...

Props for building your own CNC router... I almost dove into that, but now am super thankful I avoided it. I have a hobby CNC router that someone else built, and I recently purchased. It's 2'x3' cutting area so for now it can only profile half at a time, but I plan on extending it to be 2'x6' soon. ...

Sick last couple builds man. I think pouring sidewalls is the way to go... as long as you don't try to tint them I guess haha.

Thanks for the heads up, Dtrain! I'll definitely start with something a lot simpler. I'm also looking to buy a cnc vinyl cutter, to be used for stencils and graphics on snowboards as well as longboards (built 50 or 60 of those guys, way easy haha) so that should keep costs down... kind of. I got eno...

Sounds like a shop going under would be the way to get one, I'll keep an eye out. I have a question regarding nazdar epoxy inks... I have 4m of natural base on the way and I want to get some nazdar to paint over vinyl stencils. I can't really find an online supplier to buy them from; there's a shop ...

Contact paper seems like a good route to go for now, I probably won't have heat blankets for awhile. Carnauba wax is interesting though... I'll have to research more into mold release gels. Seems like that could be messy? Do all you guys have your own grinders? I've been looking around... seems like...

Here's pics of it setup, before she went MIA

that top looks so rad, its a shame it got wrinkly. Shame indeed… I have more that I’ll use for longboards and maybe another snowboard. Can you show some close ups of your base joints? Did you cut them by hand? only picture I really have. Used a straight edge and razor blade to cut the overlapping j...

Thanks for the quick replies, guys. The bubble are hard, so I'm assuming filled with epoxy. I didn't use heat blankets, but had a heater blowing warm air across the top of the board. No paper tape.. I'll have to pick some up. I put a scrap piece of base next to the bubble and it looks to be about th...

Hey guys, I just pulled my second attempt at a board out of my press. For some reason, I've been determined to use a reusable vac bag to press boards... but that has turned into a huge pita. This one seems to be pretty solid, flex turned out good, good lamination all around, edges stayed in places, ...

Nice builds NRG! I like your graphics style, on the skis especially.

I found your thread... I'm the same frare bear from silverfish.

Do more reading, both of you. If you're using like 10oz cloth? Sure double it up. If you're using ~20oz or there abouts like most of us, no. It won't break unless you don't use enough resin and end up with dry fibers. Sorry Broski. I looked through the front page and as I would expect, no concrete ...

Hey, I'll be pressing my first snowboard soon and I'm wondering if the same thing applies, will 1 layer on either side of the core be enough?

I'd cry if it broke, so before I saw this I was planning on doubling up...
