Try Fluid Handling Systems. http://www.fhshose.com/locations.php http://www.fhshose.com/dloads/FHS_Hose_Layflat.pdf I bought some from the Braeside store. They did a good price because it was left over off the roll. No one wants to buy small lengths of hose beacause the fittings are expensive. Barfe...

I bought a 2mx1mx6mm sheet of Klegecell (click) once to try. Sadly I never did try it out.

It closed cell so wont absorb resin. Its hard to compress (about the same as a softer wood) and stands up well to snapping (needs to be bent over 90 degrees to snap).

Here are some sites to get you started. http://myweb.cableone.net/bcanderson/Boatz/Vacuum/Vacuum.html http://www.badger.rchomepage.com/vacbag.html http://www.berkut13.com/sucker.htm http://users.telenet.be/Toothless/Toothless/pages/instructions/vacuum/vacuum.html http://www.joewoodworker.com/veneeri...

concrete is actually extremely weak. The strength comes from the rebar that needs to be embedded in the concrete. Almost right. It is actaully very strong. But only under compression. Reo is only used to hold it all together. Take for example, a beam poured for construction such as a bridge etc. In...

Nice looking board there.

When this was first posted I thought the same. Although this time around I just noticed the cylindrical end stops for the bladder hose.

Anyway cool idea with the top mould.

Rockaukum, I remember seeing this in the other thread. I always thought this was a great idea and wanted to give it a go myself on a split board.
Its reassuring to hear they went well (albeit needing to be not as deep)

Ive seen this done where a guy makes a plane (real ones not rc). For most parts he made a covered frame to place over the part and an electric space heater was used to heat it. Because the part was kept off the ground by quite a bit, the heat rose to the part, while the heaters were down low where i...

if your tips start to rise before the end of your sidecut If the sidecut extended into the tip radius, wouldnt this present problems with the point of contact at the ends of effective edge? If you end your effective edge and have a 50cm tip, then that's a damn 50cm tip not a rockered tip. I would c...

By this do you mean...... Sublimate the base with the graphic without a background, then lay up with pigment in the epoxy to give the background? If this is the case then yes, I have tought about this too. Ive been looking at sublimation ink cartridges for inkjet printers. Print on iron-on paper, th...

My brother has a vinyl cutter, and there is no way will it cut anything near the thickness as base.
Its good for cutting masks for painting graphics though.

About half way through the, "That's It, That's All" video is Lib Tech making some boards. (It upset me to see what they did to that poor Celica)

I lived in Aomori for a couple of years. If you ever get a chance I would strongly recommend Mt Hakkoda in Aomori for some snowboarding/skiing. The runs are long and ungroomed. There is always nice fresh snowfall and never many people. Also Tazawako is not too bad either, and there are some good ons...

That looks like an interesting construction - carbon top and bottom - core made of individual strips of carbon between what might be a solid foam Above the core (and between the top sheet of carbon), is this more carbon or a layer of foam? With the vertical carbon strips down the core, wouldnt it ma...

Impressive looking skis.

The centre support, does it slide down to one end to allow entry from the side? Or is it fixed and you slide it all in from one end?
