Be it excessive but the guys at my Rockler store say that Titebond 3 is the strongest. They say it has been tested to be the strongest wood glue around.

I live in Aurora have a good portion of the stuff built and you could join in.

Especially if you could contribute some supplies.

Hit me on a message, we'll talk.

My journal is B's Skis.

So yes I planned to have a top and bottom mold. Both of them I planned to back with a solid layer of 2x4's. I found some heavy duty straps at home depot. My thought was to use two of them. Start one at either end, rap around the mold until it reached the other side where they could go in the other s...

These last two weekends I accomplished two things. -I got the majority of the bottom section of the mold built. -I built a pulleyed storage for the mold. These first pics are way way of making all this stuff and still being able to park my car in the garage. http://lh5.google.com/varnerb/RxLHKu5MvfI...

I was able to save a DXF file in snocad then open it in adobe illustrator.

In illustrator you can tile the pages and print full scale.

But I guess you need to own that program to it that way

My press will be 18" wide. This is the width of my two hoses together. The hoses are about 6" wide. The length of the profiler is 84". I just took one foot off the 8' sheet so it would fit better on my work bench. The outside width is 20". Iput inserts in the profiler 70" ap...

Thanks to all for the concern. I lost my respirator in the last move out to colorado. I definetly will get another soon. With just the sawdust I feel the bandana works fine. I started the bottom section of the mold today. Things have come out good so far. Optimizing the use out of one sheet is alway...

Thanks for all the input on the pressure question. krp8128: When Disconnected it reads zero. But it did take a long time to read any pressure when I was filling the hose up. The compressor only has one gauge which reads the pressure of the tank. When the hose stopped filling up anymore the gauge on ...

Ya, I turned the regulator up till it would fill no further. The compressor was sitting at 80psi while the regulator said 40.

Is it 40?

Another technique to keep you core centered is using small finish nails on the sides of the cores. During dry lay-up align the core then set small nails on the sides in a couple places. Keep the height of the nails lower than the top sheet to reduce puncturing the bladder. Since the core is slightly...

I am jealous of the workshops you guys have. Someday I may be able to get to that level. But I am very pleased being able to have a garage to call my own. I now have my cave. http://lh5.google.com/varnerb/Ru8Nh-sqSTI/AAAAAAAACIA/wbZIoWJSahs/s800/9.17.07.jpg With the smaller space and still wanting t...

So I started reading this website and forum a little over a year ago after I saw an article in Ski magazine. It is interesting to see each persons method of the construction process. The first hurdle for me to overcome was a firehose. Where does a guy buy a firehose? Nobody in the normal world could...

Does anybody know where one could buy nylon top sheet material?
