What I did was bring the DXF into a sketch in solidworks. Then I made another sketch, and used the spline tool to basically match the DXF sketch. So instead of say 100 points (or more) for the sidecut of the ski... I had 3 points, and just adjusted the arrow bits to get the curves to match perfectly...

I think you'll find a lot of the satisfaction in this whole project (ski building) is learning all of this on your own. In the future, try to do a little more research and learning on your own. You will benefit SO MUCH more if you take the effort to learn all of this on your own, rather than just as...

How are you doing your spray glue? Are you spraying it, then sticking the paper on immediately? If so, there's your problem. If you want a damn good bond, spray both the wood and the paper pretty well, and let them air dry until they're almost completely dry to the touch. THEN stick them together, i...

My first venture into ski building was 6 years ago or so, and I tried making a clamp press. It was a big time failure. I wouldn't waste your time with a clamp press, you just cannot get the same pressure as you can with a pneumatic (firehose) press. Not even close. Even if its more work and more mon...
