edge bending tool to buy

Hi,

I am reposting this from Yard sale, as I might have posted it in the wrong section.

I am looking for one of the edge bending tools as described in the 'how to' section. Am willing to pay good $$ for it, anybody has one for sale?

Cheers

edge bending tool needed

Hello all,

I am planing to build a pair of ski in a month and need an edge bending tool.

I have seen the description on how to make one self, but due to the lack of proper tool and time I would prefer to pay for one. Anybody has one for sale?

Cheers,
M

drying the core and moisture

Hello all, 1. I am about to press my first board very soon, wooden core, and as I know that moisture fumes can in certain cases build up quite a lot of pressure, I was speculating if trapped moisture in the wood core could at some point build up enough pressure to create de-lamination issues or simi...

alternative rail materials?

Hi all, I have lately been thinking a bit about how the board sports are going more green in terms of using bio epoxies and more eco friendly materials.

Appreciate the feedback guys! SO much good stuff on this forum. Due to the diversity I would like in my press (snowboard, ski, kiteboards) I will probably invest in the wide bladder.

Hi all, I am about to order some paulownia wood for cores and I was considering ordering some blocks for mold as well. Do not like MDF.
