great job i had not thought of using planes to define those points on the sketch. i was just setting the points at tip, tail and waist to be horizontal in respect to the other side. it was working well but your way seems much more logical

that helps sooo much i have been thinking about using a CNC mill to cut out a core template but i don't want to mill a couple hundred dollar out of AL before i try ride the ski and i am sure i like it. thanks for the screen shot. do you own a cnc or work for a place with one. also are you anywhere n...

could u post a screen shot of your sketch. do you camber profile and then offest entities to get the sidewall height then extrude that. i have been trying to do it that way but i am struggling a little on how to get everything to work together.

the main reason is that you cannot do mixed camber skis also i am using the ski model to create the mold. and everything is in solid works

i am fairly good at using SW my question is have any of you modeled your skis before you build them. i have built one and it looks okay i am having trouble because i mated the points of camber to make the symmetrical but the model goes crazy when i try and change the tip. the sketch is made of 3 arc...

i love to see 80/20 in use i have used it for a lot of projects and it is always awesome. i am thinking about using it for my press but im not totally sure yet i would love it if you could share some specifics on how you built and programmed your cnc router

This may be a dumb question but where do you put the heat blanket in the press. above or below the cattracks and do you but aluminum sheets on both sides of it or just one? if it does go above the cattrack how do you regulate temperature with all the airflow in the cattrack? if it goes under it what...

how do you suggest installing the sidewalls if i am going to use the planer crib.

Yes I read that post which is why i have the question. i am just confused on who to design it because the concept does not make sense to me. if you have the crib with tip and tail i dont see how it could work. so maybe if someone could explain that to me it would all make sense. Also how do you ensu...

i have been searching this forum and reading alot of posts but i have one very basic question about using a planer to profile your cores. i saw the article on building the crib but it was only one sided so you would have to flip your core around to plane both tip and tail. i am wondering if there is...

i am new to this forum but have been reading a lot of posts on the subject except I have not found much information on making cassettes. what material would be best? Does the cassette have to be the size of the ski or can it be shorter. how much of a gap should there be between the edge of ski and e...
