Rocker/Early rise tip and tail molds
Hi all Just drawing ski tip and tail molds to be CNC cut soon and have a question about blending the tip mold to the running length mold. I am planning on flat camber for my first pair(s). I have drawn molds using a wide arc to create what I think people would call early rise (950mm radius for tip)....

It sounds like either the plastic was defective or something weakened it if you have broken both now. Maybe a bad batch of plastic? They should last more than 20 days. Replace the second broken piece and see if they both break again in 20 days? Then I'd say design flaw. I had never broken anything u...

Hi Mike I think your prices seem very very reasonable. I'm in Australia so the shipping puts me out of the equation, but the price for the actual service is great. I am getting templates cut now and it's $100 per hour (about $93US) for programming/cutting, + MDF costs. Not to hijack your thread, but...

Fire Hoses
Finished up the fire hoses for the press today. Had to get new hoses after the original ones were too thick and not very flexible and I couldn't get them to seal. Ended up with PVC layflat hose. Using 2 x 4" diameter hoses that layflat about 6.5 inches wide each. Wall thickness is 2mm. They are...

Thanks redbull. I want to try and do sone screen prints in the future. Maybe not full length to start! I also have a friend who does lino cut prints which I reckon might be able to utilise the same ink as the screen printing. The dye sub printing looks like the way to go for more complex designs. Th...

AK I'd be interested to know how you are shaping your bamboo cores. If by planer/thicknesser with a crib how much you take off per pass and how good a quality planer you are using. My 500 dollar planer seems capable of about 0.3mm per pass without starting to try and fall apart. I think it might be ...

Boards arent as wide and would require some joining ...
