Hey Guys - my brother and I have been at this for close to two years now, just getting to ride on our own skis this winter, as crappy as its been in the northeast. Figured it was time to share. Thanks to all you contributers who helped make this happen for us, its greatly appreciated. The knowledge on this site is incredible. I'm hooked, and thanks to you every free second I have is spent in my garage building or thinking about building (so my wife thanks you too). Some pics...

Thanks Twizz. Our initial plan was to build 2 beams across the top and bottom, but with the extra steel we decided to go with 3. Thought maybe we could layup 2 pairs at once. Wishful thinking...after our first few pairs we quickly realized we'd need a lot more hands to accomplish a double layup. We're learning

i think i have 3 eight inch beams so its 24 inches wide, though the molds we've made are only 14. If we get faster at laying up or more hands helping in the shop, maybe we could go wider and try 2 pair at a time. A bit ambitous for us at this point.
Thanks WhitePine, strangely my wife doesnt like the Rift poster so it gets its space in the garage.
