Gotta have music on while in the garage. Also, it takes the mind off how piss cold it is out there. Usually I've got something similar to the following on: Mars Volta, Allman Brothers, Pink Floyd, Phish, MGMT, Gov't Mule, Daft Punk, the Format, Widespread Panic. Pretty much anything progressive, blu...

I'm low buget. Capped rails give more protection and a nice look. Hoping to lay up a late season board this week. My protos have no ptex or edges. They work great till you hammer a rock. Easy to fix though. Really? No base? How is the glide? Does it hold wax well? I'm interested in going as light a...

Thanks everyone for the input. I'm glad I posed the question. I was doing all the extra tweaks to my solidworks model in order to make the tip-to-tail length (After pressing) equate to the desired ski length. Now knowing that the skis/boards I'm used to were usually designed using material length I'...

Where did they make the BH's? china? if your not part of the solution you are part of the problem. Trade those suckers in for a real ski. You're right. China. I ordered them thinking they were made in Salt Lake because I know they have a factory here. Later I went and toured it. Its a small operati...

How do YOU guys measure ski/snowboard length?
So I had a revelation today. I realized with the birth of my child things have ground to a halt, or close to it. I'm not going to have any prototypes built until next spring at the earliest. So I decided I'd buy a pair of Bluehouse Maestros 189 cm. When I got them home I saw that they are actually a...

This is really a fluid dynamics problem. Anytime you have a bottleneck or flow constriction like where the vacuum hose connects to the table you will have a pressure drop. Especially if there is a long channel after the bottleneck. This means you'll have little suction at the ends of the channels (e...

Check out this thread. http://www.skibuilders.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1307 It looks like people have had success with Doug Fir, plywood, 2x4's, etc. It may be less precise due to the grain structure. The variable wood grain may cause slight deviations due to heating and humidity but people seem t...

I doubt that you'll ever notice a few thousandths of an inch. And like OnDeck said, after a base grind all will be well. What I'm curious about is why there is no product listed in Crown's catalog for sidewall and topsheet. The only category that has product listed is the closeout - recreational gro...
