I started out in January with my buddy and feel like were getting close to pressing our first pair

Gotta finish up the vacuum table and figure out heat for it. I was thinking about getting a motorcycle tyre warmer for the heat and place it on top of the silicone sheet (idea from OACs post)
Also gotta figure out graphics and edgebending. Was thinking about trying a fretbender and either veneer or a printer
I live on the east coast US and do a lot of hard pack/groomer skiing. I used to race GS & slalom in college and HS, and my SL skis are 10+ years old and shot, so my first pair is inspired by my Fischer RC4 Sl’s. 165 cm, 113-64-98, full camber. Poplar core with oak stringers, full width titanol top and bottom, CF under the core and FG over the core.
Here’s some photos of my progress:

Looking forward to sharing more as I keep going!
