Fresh out of the press! http://f.cl.ly/items/2L2P2L222R1F3t0Z3N2L/IMG_7776.jpg Cutting my beasts loose! http://f.cl.ly/items/0B24020Y411U0F322a1c/IMG_7777.jpg Proud ski builder! http://f.cl.ly/items/431l0L2c151w3P1G1N2H/IMG_7798.jpg Pretty nice rocker profile, as mentioned before these skies are for...

So my skis are in the press right now, I'm really excited to see them come out of the press tomorrow... I'll definitely post some more and better pictures then. :) http://f.cl.ly/items/3F1o1i3Y463n0a311K3g/IMG_7751.jpg http://f.cl.ly/items/3T3c1F2T0d2l2D2r0X2X/IMG_7756.jpg http://f.cl.ly/items/41313...

Okay, so the first board is out of the press. http://f.cl.ly/items/313C471O1N373f3J1W0S/412041_10150817046207028_547307027_11616815_1956113190_o.jpg Actually came out better then we expected! The top sheet is clear and the only graphic is a rock band sticker underneath. The finishing will probably b...

Ok, we DID attach our edges with epoxy. Seems maybe that might have been stupid :) We'll soon find out. In a couple of hous I'll post pictures. We have not yet opened the press. We had to celebrate our potential sucess yesterday so today is a bit slow.. 8) Swe: vad för slags lim använder du För att ...

looking at that last photo I have one major question : the side of the base we see on the picture... is it the abraded /flamed side ??? I'm seeing some kind of abrasion texture on it... I hope not. Send some pics of the pressed board when it,s done ! Keep up the good work ! I honestly think our bas...

So this weekend we spent on the project and we got some stuff done. The closer we get to pressing our first pair, the more we realize how many things we could have done different, and how many things we could have done better. I guess we will have to accept that this will be more of a (hopefully) sk...

22mm mdf on top will be too thick in my opinion. I just did the same thing with 16mm mdf and it is borderline too thick. It will average out the profile somewhat due to the fact that it does not want to bend. Oh, yes maybe your right. I've been thinking about how to get the mdf to follow the curve ...

Just looking at the press I'm wondering about the vertical tubes that are holding the top from the bottom. Are you concerned about that at all? I'm just curious because I've never seen it done like that. Hi, no actually those are the least of our concerns, each of those vertical are solid steel and...

We decided measurements and used Snocad-X to print a split template, since we don't have access to a large printer. It was way trickier then we thought to get it straight and perfect! Here are my skies, i think the measurements are 160-135-145 @ 195cm running length. reversed chamber all the way exc...

I'm also looking for a heater in europe, which one are you guys looking at. I really have no idea with one would suit the needs in ski building best?

Forgot to mention that the ski measurements are 160-135-145 @ 195cm running length. Also I know that almost everyone is using heat in their setups. Is that critical or can you actually make decent skis without extra heat? Pictures will be uploaded tomorrow, i know this thread is not worth much witho...

Hey everyone, this is my first time posting but i've been lurking around and reading here for months. Me and my friend started this project this winter and are progressing just fine (I think), we built a ski press and are soon ready to press our first pair of skis. (Made in Sweden! :)) I've tried to...
