Rocker mold help
I am making a full rocker mold and trying to figure out how much rocker in my mold to get a final tip/tail rise of 8mm-ish. I tried a 10mm rocker mold and the board went flat out of the press. I tried to search the forum but that is pretty much useless. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Figured it out! I took my rubber mallet and smacked the ptex through the die cutter, smooth like butta. http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/ab325/browningboards/photobucket-5791-1321650916761.jpg I might have to buy a new mallet every once and a while but its much cheaper then buying a clicker! So st...

edge bender tool
I saw this tool while watching a never summer factory video. I finally got around to making one today and it works great. I bought a tile nipper for $10 and ground down the edges. Its not that pretty but it works great. http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/ab325/browningboards/photobucket-4447-1321474...

DIY die cutter
Here is my attempt at creating a die cut for my bases. I purchased 15 LF of standard double bevel steel die rule from www.ameriken.com. It comes in 2.5' lengths. The price was only $36 with shipping. I used my CNC to route out a square design with a 1/8" bit on 5/8" plywood. I am sure the ...

Just checked it out and it is a very similar idea. I have a radi at the tip/tail with straight lines near the bindings that connects to a small radi at the center. It looks like Solomon has 4 straight lines. It's all centered around the idea of double side cut radius that has been around for a while.

that's two radii? in the photos it looks more like two straight lines meeting up in a small radius. Hey Chris, you are right. It is a large Radius with some straight lines that connect to a small radius at the center. This gave me the edge hold I was looking for without thinning out the center widt...
