New Skis in New Zealand
Posted: Thu May 03, 2012 5:03 pm
Hey all,
Big thank you to everyone on this forum, the amount of info and knowldge here is amazing.
So I have started to join the ranks of ski builders,
At this stage I am building a press a la mongo style....
Unloading the steel.
Cutting
Bottom Welded
The frame is made from 50 x50mm x3mm box and is fully welded.
The fire hose has arrived today, so hopefully on the weekend I can start on that.
I plan on using bamboo cores.
At this stage I am trying to find a good cat track solution, even with a good mates rates deal the cat track alone is looking like $1500.00
Anyone got any good ideas?
At this stage I wont be using a heat blanket $ and also the Epoxy that I have found indicates that heat curing doesn't increase strength.
I would be grateful for comments,
Cheers
Ross.
