Hi all!
Two months ago I started to think about building my own skis. In a few weeks time I analyzed the forum/site and decided to just do it!
In the picture below you can see my first design, it supposed to be an all-mountain ski. I will use bamboo as a core 2mm-10mm-2mm.
Does anyone have experience with the difference in camber after pressing. In the skibuilders how to, they say that the camber loses 8-10mm after pressing/vacuum.
I'm also wondering if the highest point of camber needs to be just below centre boot? Bit backwards...
I look forward to your comments!

Re: First design
my mold is zero camber. Removed from press skis has zero camber even with 10° differential on the blankets. I shim them 25mm in the middle and put some weights on tips/tails and left cool overnight in the morning got about 8 mm camber.dvollebregt wrote:

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
