Hi Iggy,
I was wondering if you fabricated that whole press yourself, or had someone do the frame for you? It is Impressive!

Questions

Post by JLSchufman »

Hey Iggy, another question, it would be awesome if you could help...

I see your bases don't come in a roll, and look like the graphics have been printed. I was wondering who you got to do the printing or if you did it in house?

Was it expensive? I would be looking to order about 5 custom bases, all the same graphic, for personal use. If you are printing your own graphics on clear bases could I order some custom bases from you?, that would be great!

I think Coda has the capabilities to do this; are they up to par with your bases in terms of quality? I have not contacted durasurf, but do they do this stuff too, it appears that they only sell rolls of base on their website?

I am just getting into this process of ski building and trying to find all the information has been overwhelming. Sometimes is refreshing to just ask someone for help, rather than research the matter for days.

Thanks again Iggy,

Ill chime in.
The sublimation process is the same. YMMV. Pretty sure he has them done at the same shop that now does nylon tops in bulk and they are in OR or WA?
Just use chad at coda hes rad.
Most of the sublimation done for the indies in the US is a minimum order of say 100.
Iggys got bigger fish to fry.

If you cant read all the data here and categorize and process for yourself best not take on skibuilding.

You learn allot by doing and messing up is inherent.

There's a million ways to skin this cat and do what works for you.

PM Brazen he can sublimate some stuff for you he loves doing small non-for-profit projects. :D

Scott,
The distressed wood looks tight!
Are you spraying them with poly or clear topsheet?

Been awhile. Figure I would bump this up with some current factory photos. Took these in the middle of production so sort of a mess, but we finally have a factory that runs (fairly) efficiently. It is crazy how much factory space changes - already have new things we are working on for 2016.

Great workspace! I still remember your first batch of skis posted in the journals here...you've come a long way!

Why do you anneal the edges if you don't do full wraps? Still too hard and time consuming to bend on a production basis?

Nice! It looks like you have a good layout and flow to the space too. How many sqft is the factory?
