some More skis
Posted: Thu Jul 26, 2012 12:56 am
Kiaora,
I'm from Auckland, NZ, and myself and another couple of mad individuals are embarking on the skibuilding journey.
We've been studying this site for a couple of years now, and it's finally all coming together. Our press is almost complete (just making the second heater mat, control gear, finishing touches sort of stuff), and the actual skis are being CADed up. Materials are in the post from Skilab, and we're hoping to lay up some planks within the next month-ish.
Unfortunately, so far the season sucks - no damn snow! On the other hand, this is giving us a bit of time to work on the press and so on, so progress is fairly rapid at this point.
Anyway, thought I'd just get this ball rolling so that I can post pictures soon. I've been keeping a pretty good photo record, because I cannot thank you chaps enough for laying down such a good trail of breadcrumbs to follow. I'll use up my 5 posts of limbo and then see if we can contribute!
Cheers.
