base material topsheet
now i have used a layer of base material for a top sheet already and it has held up pretty well already. i am more interested in if anyone else has done this and their experiences.

Rest in Powder
as i am sure most of us have heard freestyle skiing legend Sarah Burke past away today from the head injury she sustained a week ago.
i just wanted to take a minute to honor her as a fellow skier and hope that where ever she may be now the powder is blower and the jumps are pristine.
RIP Sarah

rockaukum i thought so and because of that your method was probably the best way to go for your press. twizz thanks for the reminder. head monkeys press was some what the inspiration for my press. much fancier but something to work towards sherpa burns you must be talking about rockaukum's press cau...

interesting. i understand the theory behind what you are saying though. your set up works more like a simple beam where as mine does have other actions that could be problematic. that being said your beams look like they were sections of plate steel welded to for i beams. not a bad way to do it but ...

what size are the beams used in your press to start with ? i ask because i am an engineer and when i designing this press i was taking both steel design and finite element analysis. for practice i did every possible failure mode and model i could think of on it and if i did my calculations right the...

not necessarily. the skis i have built so far have only two layers of biaxial fiber glass top and bottom (i dont know the weight but pretty heavy) and they are not noodles thats for sure. while a plastic top sheet would make them look cleaner when finished i am not sure it reall adds all that much s...
