Had a fun day with Jan from OAC skis today! Thanks Janne!

Rolled up 330 meters of steel edge...
Very impressed by Jans engineereing skills!


Also tried out his beutiful Wintersteiger. Very nice piece of machinery!

Hello deepskis, I´m new posting here in Ski Builders, a lot of years looking everything but recently building skis. I have a delam problem with the graphics and top sheet and I was thinking about replace the graphics with 2 layers of CF bid 5oz, is this enough? If I put only one layer of CF this could crack?

Cheers.

Hello wutato!
Yes you can replace the topsheet with cf. No problem. Just put it on top of the triax. When the skis are pressed you can screen print on top of the skis. After printing you can protect it with polyrethane

Thanks a lot Deep, here in Chile its hard to find suppliers and more difficult find someone with the knowledge about. We are going to try it the Cf this night, only two question, how many layers of CF we need to use? work it with only one layer of cf? and, can we use the clear top sheet to protect the CF and epoxy to the UV sun light and scratches without problem?

Thanks again, cheers.

As long as you use 22 oz triax under the cf it will be fine. I have only used one layer of cf. Yes the clear topsheet will be a nice protective surface. Print your logo on the back before layup. If you dont keep your skis in the sun when you dont use them you dont need any uv protection...

Very proud to present my new edge bender! Works perfect! Saves me so much time! full wrap=no problem!

New machinery in the shop! Wintersteiger edge and base grinder





Next mission.. Rebuilding the shop to get some more space!

Love the pics of the build!

I'm really interested in how the edge bender works. Would it be possible to have a short description of how you bend an edge or maybe a couple of photos?

I'm about to build one myself (for snowboards), and came across this the other day:

Curious to know how it works with 3 wheels.

Cheers,
Will.

I've got a thread on here with some drawings for the dies and a description of how to build it. It's an excellent bender with great results! Yours looks great deepskis!

And congrats on the grinder, that thing's beautiful!

Great video and picture Deep! Really inspired to have a go at making my own revision of one of these. I'm curious though, what's the bearing on the top of the box section for?

Hey Deep, another question about your carbon topsheets... It's uni carbon right? And if so, how do you find the durability along the top of the sidewall?
