I thought I'd share what I've been working on in my spare time the past few weeks. Its a sidecut jig roughly based on 333's jig. http://www.333skis.com/resources/michael%20and%20rail%20package%20%5BDesktop%20Resolution%5D.jpg it will be nice to just set it up once for a pair, cut the core and the ba...

i've been able to source untreated bamboo flooring here in the states (near Seattle, WA) for $4 U.S. a board (surplus). they're 182cm long and once the tongue and groove are sawed off they're 85mm wide by 15mm thick i've checked on plywood prices, and they're insanely expensive... at least here. als...

how did you end up cutting the wedge out? what degree is it?

fantastic start! i love the different aluminum thicknesses for your planer crib. great idea, especially if you got the aluminum free! You're build quality looks superb. whats wrong with 153mm at the tip? powder ski!

keep us posted and keep up the great work!

correct roll, width, grit and water? i have a spare motor sitting around i bought for $20..... hmmm.

do some searching and private message some NE people.

give it time. this may not be the correct section either.

but my thought is that there probably aren't any ski builders in NYC

Found this site for machining.. http://www.emachineshop.com You download their cad software, design your part, say what type of material. Then the software analyzes the part and gives you a price. Then the part is shipped to you. I drafted out one of these rollers (edge teeth roller) done in t6 alu...

pneumatic. the pair that sean tried with both bagging and pressing didn't turn out as well as he/we had hoped.

sean has built 3 pairs, and i have built 1 pair, with another on the way once i have a little more free time... eh? relevance? I'm already working on pair number 4 (5 technically, have to include stumpysticks), you gotta do some catching up son! oh yeah... and im waiting for somebody to get their s...

The thing I love most about this site is that almost everyone does the process a little bit differently, from the press, to the materials used, and the steps taken to get to a final product. Not only that, but the overwhelming willingness to explain in detail how we all do it differently, provide h...

we're starting to remake our molds. we're going to do an adjustable mold now. i'd say look into doing adjustable if you think you'll be making skis for friends or anything. the mold i made for my non camber pow skis held up fine. but yeah if you have any sort of camber make sure you use threaded rod...

those are some sweet clamps you use for the gluing the cores! pretty expensive?

so why do you place an ash stringer in with the ptex sidewall?

thats quite the set-up you have there!

would you be willing to help some fellow builders out with some CNC work for a mold?

nice! can we get some close up of the skis, topsheet and other fitments like edges?
