Yes MM, that clip is the shit! I own the XX album now because of it. "Intro" to me is the ultimate pow soundtrack.

Not really the typical type of music I listen to, but I really like these guys- http://thexx.info/

OAC, any idea what a "lagerbock" is properly called in English?

But it pivots- so at least it's gotta be "blue ball bearing that pivots."

Seriously though, the pivot is just s bonus. It's like sometimes you don't want the plastic toy. :)

Twizz, that's a little like me showing a picture of a Cheeseburger Happy Meal, and you say "that's called a burger." Actually it's a ball bearing contained inside of a mountable pivoting mechanism. Care to answer again?

Even sales reps for companies selling Solid Works and Solid Edge will tell you that it’s ok as long as you don’t use it commercially. You didn't say what was OK. ;) Anyway, yes using super expensive software that you haven't actually paid for personal use probably will never get you into any troubl...

I'll try to make a screencast later tonight. Does OO Draw export DXF? If so, then I need to check it out!

Falls- I hope you know Sketchup is free. Sketchup Pro is not- but you probably only need that if you must export DXF.

I've often thought about using a planer crib basically on its side, with a couple of rollers setup near the bandsaw blade to push the core into the crib (just as a planer crib in a planer works). Not sure what these are called in English, but anyway, what about mounting a couple of these vertically...

One more. This is the whole point to me really. Snowcad is pretty cool, but you can't get smooth transitions between a reverse camber section (or a rocker section) and the tip. This ski has 20mm full reverse camber. Up this close it looks a little flat, but I promise it's not. http://i786.photobucke...

Here's proof that Google sketchup can be used for ski templates. The image was composited in photoshop to illustrate the fact the the lines are smooth when zoomed in (vector.) Also, I printed out the tip mold portion on a cheap laser printer and measured with a caliper- perfectly spot on. The lines ...

OK- now I get the corrugation idea. Very clever, and it seems obvious that it would also strengthen things a lot without adding much weight. I'll have to consider how to actually implement that and then decide if it would be worth the effort. Thanks again!

p.s. Suddenly staples come to mind. ;)

Thanks for the latest (both of you.) OK, so I'll let the concrete idea go- it was intended as more of an interesting study than anything else. If the weight were not such a factor, then I think it would have had promise. ;) Moving back to the all wood design, I'm perhaps a little unclear on a few th...
