i agree with g-man, the factory flamed tipfill material bond is very good. i have not had a problem to date(snowboards), time will tell. i think it is very wise to eliminate all the home flame treating as possible by using durasurf tipfill that is flamed on both sides, this would only require the fl...

wow big kam, do you have an army of oompa-loompas in your shop cutting, routing, and assembling?????? you put that together quick. looks really good, nice work. as g-man was saying a indexing pin system will make loading your cassette much less of a chore. it will ensure that your running length sta...

wow, what a beast. have you done load calcs to determine the need for a center member for beam flex!!!!!! hee hee :D . massive. big pieces of steel kick ass. i agree that the mold may need a little work, may need provisions for RL adjustments unless you plan on only one running length. :D nice work....

it wouldn't be the end of the world to have less camber than 8mm to 12mm, i've seen a lot of boards with less than 8mm when they are new. i personally like riding boards with more camber. like i said before i'm by no means an expert on this stuff. maybe some of the other board builders could chime i...

i see your point now. may not work in a one stage layup. i think you are right, if your press is the standard hydraulic skate type press i think it could bend the abs but it would have springback after you pulled it out. a two stage layup would probably work though. pressing the maple first, cut to ...
