Just use a softer, like 5053 .063 aluminum. Seriously. Coat the aluminum with mold release,counter sink your screws along the outer 2 ribs, route a channel in the form under the aluminum sheet for your heat blankets and be done with it. It's the way everyone does it...unless you just want to get wei...

.063 aluminum sheet.

Not you too...BGF ffs, http://www.bgf.com/industries_served/co ... on_fabric/ . The largest manufacturer of this material in the US?

BGF has a seconds price list, 10/12 oz triaxial weave (faultless) runs about 18 a meter. Ask your glass rep (North American Composites or Composites One) to call them for it.

Painful. Clearly you can see the difference between twelve dollars and two hundred twenty nine dollars? The rapid decline of this site is disturbing to an old dick like me....

weird...maybe it was just that high carbon electra base, because it sure did streak for me.

Exact. Same. Thing. As beautiful as that dragon looks (and it does) when you base grind that shit there ...

That was so well said it had to be said twice! Actually though, a dragknife is a no-brainer...12 bucks for a .125 drill blank at McMaster Carr and a diamond wheel...hello.

Well okay then...anyone want to be part owner?

o NOW you tell him!

CBS? Sorry. Gone.

So, 2 years of my life, sleepless nights, CAD/CAM, testing and the other 2000 things this can bring to bear at any moment. During this time, I assembled every tool you need to build exceptional quality skis and boards. Planers, routers, press, grinders, bandsaw, drill press, cat tracks, bladders, du...
