Well after getting sidetracked due to LIFE!!! just can't seem to leave me alone long enough to finish my skis. I finally started to get back to my project. this weekend I finished my cnc mogul it looks great now I just need to get a computer to run it. and then learn to use the software. I will post...

dude i've wanted to try putting leaves under the topsheet since i started thinking about making my own skis. you totally beat me to the punch. I always thought it be cool to use some kind of poisonous plant though.

you could always try tying Kevlar thread to each edge.
i ordered some thread off the yard sale section from FigmentOriginal and cant wait to try this out

I'm in the same boat haha next project on my list happens to be a boat in a twisted sort of way! ;) the idea about preheating the glue man that make the whole project sound even better might have to get some more heating wire when i build one to make the bath temp controlled. right now though i am ...

Ok cool is your roller motorized? having that second roller on top would be great especially if you could get it to spread glue. Sounds like a new project. I want to make one but I've got a list that just seems to grow and keep growing maybe if i can get a couple more projects checked off my list i ...

I've actually got a speed waxer that I NEVER use, looks exactly like this. This would be a much better use of it, I could just replace the bowl of wax with a bowl of glue! are you talking about something like the hertel waxer if so how do you "NEVER" use it i would love to have one of tho...

Ok so I always seem to see the topic of these come up but for the most part are ignored. It seems like alot of the larger factories have them they are really common in the skateboard industry. I wanted to see if there were any homemade versions i could make quickly found one and i thought you guys w...

got my grinder and did a little modifying to it. I really wanted to have a hose to hose out inside after i was done so i added in a t and a valve to the sprayer supply. so i could turn off my sprayer and use my hose. i put a new filter on the bucket its actually just shrub covering cloth held in pla...

anyone for $500

Today I popped over to the states for a couple of hours to pick up some packages. my resistance wire hopefully it will work but i only spent $11 on 200' http://i878.photobucket.com/albums/ab348/Nathan_Heuvel/DSC_0147_zps4400050e.jpg Also picked up some wood cut and planed to size just need to glue a...

Just ordered the 4x8 Cnc mogul too.
So if anyone near Brockville Ontario wants to come by and try to figure the Cnc out with me once it's up and running. I'm cool with it but I am probably the farthest thing from an expert.
Or if you guys want to check the machine out before you buy one.

Quick equipment update. On the weekend I will be getting my base grinder. http://i878.photobucket.com/albums/ab348/Nathan_Heuvel/Facebook/Ski%20grinder/1504098_10202552021980044_536073221_n.jpg http://i878.photobucket.com/albums/ab348/Nathan_Heuvel/Facebook/Ski%20grinder/1522340_10202552021940043_63...

Ok so I could go pickup my silicone materials from the state's tonight or go skiing I picked skiing my dads gunna pick up my packages though so I might be building my mat on sat or Sun hopefully and the molds are being made on Sat.

Ok I just got off the phone with Mike (owner) had a really great conversation. While we were talking he mentioned that he has had almost 100 sales in the past few moths where people would be using them specifically for skis or boards. so I want to know how many of you have one. 100 machines that's a...
