Single Ski or Splitboard press for Sale $400 with/bladder
$400 or best, will trade for a canoe, fly fishing gear, lift tickets, paragliding equip.....what you got?
This is a 5/16"wall tube steel press frame, and air bladder used to build skis and split boards. There is a mold that comes with it for a 163cm splitboard design of my own. I have some triaxial fiberglass to throw in as well, enough for a few pairs. No epoxy. I have 7' x 6" x .75" Ash left over for half a core also.
If you want to use my design, i'll throw in my core profiler and shuttle.
I do have one half of a prototype splitboard to show if you want to see what this press is capable off. I have pressed a few now, and all were done at about 50psi overnight, with no topsheet, just fiberglass. No wrinkles at all.
Give me a shout on email, or call me after 5pm at 425-299-6869

pics?
Not sure why the pics aren't uploading. Tried Picassa and another online chat site. email me for pics. You can cut and paste and it should work. Can anyone fix this?

Thanks!
Thanks for fixing that up.
The bladder is in the wrong position in the pic. I just stuck it together to get a photo. I normally resides between like it should.

ive worked with presses that were done that way, but with the bladder underneath the bottom mold pushing it up into the top. it was also furnace/hot water heated. quite an interesting system considering there were 4 presses in a row.
anyway, yours looks like a nice simple design. Correct me if i'm wrong but do i see a bend at the far end?

Bend,
The press does bend a bit, thus the crossbraces. In the pic, it's under 50psi and is bowed. At first I was a little put off by this, thinking I'd get a bad press as a result, but it didn't matter at all. I got great lamination all the way down the length of the boards.

Price:
If your serious, make me an offer. I have close to this amount in material cost for the press and fiberglass alone, plus my time of course.
It says obo in the offer, and I am willing to negotiate.
