There is no rule that says the core has to be perfectly level all the way across - experiment with some grooves cut lengthwise with a router, fore and aft of the mounting area. You can do a lot of tweaking that way without losing too much strength. I've been playing with diagonal cuts - right ski cu...

I had good picks of the actual molds and repairs, but my brand new kodak crapera took a dump with the pics locked deep in its bowels... So a week later after a new samsung cam I got some pics..

I lost a filling and cracked a tooth a few years ago, and couldn't get into the dentist for several days. After a few hours I decided to at least try to fix the pain by covering the nerve ending..

Off on a slight tangent... we use piezo for vibration and stress monitoring on things like bridges. Its been used before in ski's for monitoring vibration and other movements, but it would really be gimmicky for vibration dampening. However, in robotics we use something called muscle wires - these a...
