i used markassa veneer ... I dont know if its the same in english, thats the german name. I didnt rout out anything for the edges and it worked out fine. I guess the edges get pressed into the core, the obeche wood is rather soft and I didnt use any specific sidewalls, its just the core. it works, i...

hmmm ... the rappelling photo shows it quite well. here are pics of the form, maybe you can get a better image that way. http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/111/img4855ww4.jpg http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/111/img4855ww4.b6502d6f77.jpg http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/4325/img4856jm0.jpg http:...

so, here they are ... actually they made it off the press much earlier (already in december) but if there is one thing I dont have its time. I'm actually quite happy about the result, however the skis do have some minor faults. The topsheet shifted a little and gives you a little insight. Not that b...

im talking about powder skiing ...

to really evenly supply pressure i suggest to use a "glue beam" (i dont know if thats the right word in english) like cabinet makers use them. nothing will warp ...

it works great with my mac ... osx version 10.4.9

fantastic to finally have a mac working free prog to design skis easily ...

thanks a lot for this programm ...

the "burton dominant slick" had/has some kind of edges that some kind of do a kink inside the base under the "sliding area". but i have no idea if that works since i never do rails and never do snowboard.

yesss ... I'm really jealous now, i didnt make it once to cham this season. this season mostly was crap anyhow, well the next cant be as bad as this one has been so far, and I had some powder as well. But compared to my usual 50+ days I only had 30 this season, thats not enough! thanks a lot for the...

tested the katana last weekend ... its a fine ski, but the base material was super super thin, like paper. Maybe it was just the demo ski and the final version is better, but like this, its pretty useless. Skied gread however.

a washout is, in my opinion, when the skis edge at the tail just slippes away, mostly happens while skiing steep, icy, chutes or snow that is compact to a certain degree. The washout appears when the edge doesnt hold anylonger and the tail starts to drift valleysides (<- is this an english word?). B...

i made a video ... well, its not a good one but its the first time i ever made a video. its not a homebuild ski, but its the gotama i chopped the tail off so that counts a little i guess. the cut gotama: works really great, no more washouts, its a far better ski this way. its almost 5 cm shorter now...

great !!!

my 0.05 cents: a long ski is stable at high speed ... combine a long ski with a decent waist (around 100) and what you get is a super smooth floating ski that can be skied really really fast. (thats what the stormrider was build for, @ply: my guess is, you are too light for that ski, I skied it myse...

would it be useful to glue the core and everything else together with epoxy that contains (added) cotton flakes. the cotton flakes are often used as far as I know when building aircrafts to enhance the flexibility and ductility of epoxy and the materials that are glued together. the epoxy works as t...
