multiple passes at lower powers works for me to get it a bit darker.not as dark as your filler photos above though.

Gozaimass, It's all done with a cnc drag knife, no die. The tool is from Donek, it's great. Vin - carbon down the centre. base alignment pins are binding inserts. Yup, base material tip spacers. The X at the tip is carbon. Dtrain, I got the D2. Well, work bought the D2. We sell CNCs so it might be a...

Hey mate, sure thing, have you got a time in mind? come to Jacks in east tamaki? flip me a pm

We had someone come and watch the layup of the pair I'm taking to Europe (like, next week, I gotta hustle the finish on these!) so I put a camera in their hands. photo dump! you guys know most of this story so I'll only comment on interesting things: Cut with a Donek drag knife http://i.imgur.com/2Q...

Great write up Twizz, thanks. looking forward to hearing if the stiffness degrades.

DBS - worse than leaving them rusty? (serious question, I have some rusty skibuilders ones too)

Damn I want urethane sidewalls! It seems bloody expensive here. I'm going to Europe though, and I'll ship some back I think. RE profiling we're doing it in a lot more than 1 pass, but that's partially to do with the fact I'm in no hurry, but don't want to wreck a core. I'm also using a monster cutte...

Oh my god I want that topsheet.

Are you shooting for the rocker starting at the widest tip point, falls?

Yes, we're doing the sidecut with splines and it certainly has varying radii. Because we're setting it that way, we put the waist where we think boot centre should go, rather than looking at where the waist ends up and putting boot centre there. Is it a good idea? Not a clue... It's just how we did ...

So, I'm thinking about a pair to take to europe with me in Feburary. How does this look? The number that's hard to read in the middle there is camber, 5mm. http://i.imgur.com/Ctdam.jpg http://i.imgur.com/FmQvn.jpg and some without dimensions so you can see it more clearly... http://i.imgur.com/PwsiX...

Hey, have you done a test of this yet? I've just found a local source and I was thinking I might try some too.

Twizz, the dog looks cool, but those skis look amazing. Love the epic.

I have 3 sestos PIDs, no problems. Just use the Auber manual if you're struggling with the chinglish.

Bit of a report on that pair... I got 1 day on them in lovely soft snow and then the weather packed up, and it's rained on the field now so that might be curtains for my NZ season. Looks like I'll catch some snow in the new year in Europe though. Neither the lack of VDS and the kevlar moving around ...

sorry for the phone pics, but... http://i.imgur.com/NqCgm.jpg I love the purple. need mroe colours. will have drag knife soon, bwhahaha. http://i.imgur.com/U7pkR.jpg Stealth press - I hid the press in the back of the warehouse at work so I could run it during the day. http://i.imgur.com/c8TGw.jpg St...
