Sorry, Me bad. Just realized this thread was older than I had thought. Was looking at only January posts and was thinking I was still in last month. Been a hectic few months lately. PM me if anything is still available.

I can take 200 to 250 dollars worth of any color and width buy. will follow thread to see what shakes out. I use wide sizes for tip and tail applications and 30mm for sidewall to core assemblies.

This is a great way to make sidewall units for use in any shape core. We used to epoxy up multiple 30 -34 mm strips of pe to 5 mm pieces of ash or poplar with a piece of VDS in between. We would make up dozens of these units and put them in the racks for future use. It is now easier to use the press...

We use the Alpi composite veneers for most of our skis so I guess we have already compensated for core thickness buy having it in the system and much trial and error.. We feel that it adds a more beefy,damp feel to the ski and not a noticeable amount of stiffness. However, on one set of skis that wa...

Thank you all for taking the time to help get me going in the right direction. I will post the results and trip reports when we get back sometime in March. No time now as I have to get back to making the fat bastards. Later, Mark

I have three pairs of skis to make that will be used for western deep deep, {heli drops}, a powder only biased ski, and a ski for every day, everywhere western snow that will be fun in the trees. I am an east coaster woods skier skiing on 150 to 160 cm. boards that are about 112 under foot. These wo...

Has anyone had any expereince with Squarespce. I had started with a free trail period, but did not get to far. Looks like it it offers all the bells and whistles.

We use nordic binding screws for any tele binding set up that has not been set up with inserts. They can be hard to get sometimes, but given your Scandinavian location you should have it easier. The fins are much wider than standard. Be aware that if your skis have metal in them you wil need to dril...

I may have posted this before but this method has worked great for me. I make up sidewall assemblies that are aprox. 30 mm wide by whatever length is called for. Sand with 60 to 80 grit alum oxide belt sander. Flame treat. Epoxy to 5mm by 30 mm ash strip with vds in between wood and PE. Usually make...

I am in Worcester and have talked with P&A Sales for MDF CNC ing for core profile cribs, and Milbury welding in Worcester for steel or aluminium water jet cutting. Have not used either yet so I can not give you any feedback. Would like to stop in to your shops, or if you are in Worcester let me ...

The black layer between sidewall and core is VDS. This was shown in some Icelantic video or print. I have been using this method for a year now with improved bonding results and has elliminanted any failure during profiling. I can not tell if it affects dampness or not.

We have a freight broker who works with us building skis. Best deal from Cleavland is 150$ for a residential or commercial delivery to southern NH. I will take edges for 100 pairs of skis at those dims as long as they are blasted and primed. Lets make this happen. 6 weeks just fits into our system. ...

I am with Idris and Vinman solutions. We hot glue the core down at tip and tail along with 2 cm by 10 cm strip of wood also hot glued parallel and extending past the end of the core. We also allow extra length and then trim after profiling. Good Luck.

Just a heads up. Take the time to properly set up your fence and tension. Great instructions on Highlands site. Good Luck
