Hi Richie, works great on the surface 3. My only issue is the pick points are pretty tiny at high res so they are really difficult to drag with the stylus. I could change red and it would sort this I think.

Hi Richie, Thanks for your reply and apologies for not getting back to you. I grabbed the installer and have installed it. Works a treat on 8.1 Thanks again to all involved with this. Getting a working, licensed copy of CAD isn't really viable for most of us so this is a great little alternative! Yo...

Hi Falls,
I am happy to go in on it with you.
I have my artwork all done, I just need to adjust the sizing a little as it ended up bigger than expected.
Cheers

tip and tails

I saw a guy riding the lift in these guys last year. He was teli skier on them. I am not sure what you would need them for in AU but... I have only just been able to find what they are. Anyone have any thoughts or feels about the seriousness of the tip and tail design? Anyone made/skied anything lik...

Nice video.

Does to asymetrical swallow tail affect the ski much? They look sweet. I would be interested to hear how they go.

*Aluminium :)
That sounds awesome. Could you incorporate the base into the edge or would it be soft?

If you are doing rice paper graphics that have printed on two pages would you join with medical tap or clear packing type tape? I would prefer to print in one go put its not really possible.

Secretly, I do watch it and I blame my girlfriend for it.

I use a small metal clip/clamp thingy to stop the left right movement when routing. I then move it over a tiny bit and repeat. Chuck one on each side. and see what you think.

That other one looks really nice man, proud of you ;)

Remind me not to piss off Gav wa! I am no expert by any stretch of the imagination. I am a hack compared to most of these fine folks. Two things that might help you out. 1. I always read that you should profile from tip - tail rather than left to right as you will get steps if you don't do it right....

I kinda agree with Cornice on this. I know it sucks. I practiced a few times on some shitty timber and then had a crack at the real thing and the results from the first test to the first proper core was huge. I also spent a little bit of time strengthening my bridge and adjusting my technique so the...

I used builders plastic from the hardware store for my first build. IT worked ok but was hard to work with and get a good seal.

I used contact to do the base of the board. It's the stuff you use to contact books. Its cheap and easy to apply as it's wider than the base.
