Press Construction Order
I searched around and couldn't find anything related so I'll ask. What is the proper order of press building? I don't have any materials yet but will acquire them piece by piece as funds come in. Would I be out of line to build my press in this order? 1. Frame 2. Cat track 3. Pressurization Bladder ...

I'm still planning out my workshop and press. I think I'm going to start without any heat blankets initially and I'm wondering if heating the room with space heaters to at least 70°F will be enough to get a decent epoxy bond. What do you think? Otherwise I'll probably have to wait till spring to sta...

Re: Make ur own cores!
Personally I think making your own cores is the way to go. It isnt as complicated as you guys are making it sound. Keep it simple and do a good job during set up and you will get a great core everytime. I've made a few birch and poplar cores for $15 or so and they only take 45 mins to press. The ha...

Now assume we have the hose w/ 40psi in a press with a cat track measuring 72in x 12in. The cat track will have 34,560 lbs of force exerted on to it ( 72*12*40=34560) which will be directed to the ski. I agree except for one detail that I think needs clarification. In your example the hose with 40p...

So a plunge router is for making signs? Is there nothing about making skis or snowboards that I would need one for? If that's the case a standalone fixed router would be cheaper. Any suggestions for router models? I heard Bosch is solid. I think thefreshpimp was making a joke about the plunge route...

Press/Mold Rib Width?
I'm designing a fabric press to be used to make both skis and snowboards. Any tips on how wide the press/mold ribs should be? Is a few centimeters wider than the widest pair of skis/board I make enough? Or should I go wider? Also, how far apart should the skis be when pressing both skis at once? Plu...
