I.E. would a 6 oz carbon fiber weave have the same st...

Nice. Once I get a functional press going I might build a hardboot carving board. Been a long time since I rode a pair of hardboots though. Are you going to swallowtail it, like the old sims burners? Nice book matched core! Damn, where did all the wood go? Seriously. I am surprised that you could on...

One leg of the 240 goes to one wire. The other leg goes to the other wire. The ground is unnecessary. 115v is one hot leg (115) and a neutral. 240 is one hot leg (115) and another hot leg (115) to give you 220-240 volts. There is no neutral in a 240v system. If you take an electrical meter and put o...

This stuff looks like it might be useable in some capacity. 1/8" maybe for tip / tail material. 3/8" for core material on a snowboard. Might be fun to play with.

I believe that one of the main functions of the rubber vibration dampening strip is to assist in lamination by allowing there to be a flexible space between the metal of the edges and the glass. I remember reading somewhere on this site about the different thermodynamic properties of the material in...

I have finally acquiesced to using I beams for my main construction.
http://www.efunda.com/math/areas/Rolled ... sRltsW.cfm is a list of wide flange beams. I am going to use W10-49 beams. two on the bottom, two on the top. This will give me a 20" width which should work pretty well.

Hard to believe how strong grade 8 bolts with a 3/4" diameter are. Supposedly 50,000 lb breaking strength. http://dodgeram.org/tech/specs/bolts/SA ... ength.html

I left out from my sketch the nuts. One on the inside, one on the outside. By loosening the nuts you can rotate the camber guides. Because the thread is offset, turning the guide changes the height of the guide. There will then be a thin steel plate that sits on the top of the camber guides. How the...

Press construction.
Howdy all. Great site here. I love seeing the different equipment you all have built. I have finally decided to build a pneumatic press so I can try and build some snowboards, and maybe some approach skis. My press design incorporates adjustable camber and adjustable / replaceable tip and tail block...
