Hey Dave, I can't really inform you too much about the edges and VDS material since that seems to be Kelvin's area of expertise. But you can get most of the other materials such as the base material, topsheet material, sidewall, and tipspacer material all from Durasurf for relatively cheap prices. Y...

here's an old article explaining one way to build and use a planer: http://skibuilders.com/articles/planerprofiler.shtml. I would skip the protruding screws and use hotglue to hold your core down onto the wedge.

Re: Delamination due to edge material
I'm not an expert about the sandblasting issue but I've never sandblasted my edges before and they seemed to have bonded well. All of my delamination issues were a result of tipspacer problems. As for this question: 2) Is it feasible to bend the edge material round the tips without anealing or is th...

I use Titebond for my cores as well. It's cheaper than epoxy (right?) and is much easier to work with. Rivets will definitely add strength to your tips. I had a few problems with some of my tips because of experimentation with different tipspacer materials and rivets have always saved them. But I'd ...

I am sure that Kelvin and the Kams would agree with me that once you get several pairs of skis, the added durability that goes with umwhpe sidewalls is just not necessary. From my experience, the ski will completely delaminate long before the sidewalls become an issue ;) . Definitely. I stopped wit...
