Something to think about with the sander. I have done this on several pairs and it works great. After you get the sidewalls sanded at 90* up to the edges, Tip the table and continue sanding. You can get nice results and do not need to router the sidewalls. Just keep an eye on it so you don't take it...

Nice write-up! Q#1: If the same glass was used in both skis, wouldn't the thickness of the core material determine the stiffness of the skis? IE spacing between the composite layers? I ask because reading around people talk about what wood to use and it seems the consensus is it is all personal pref...

If I follow you correctly, I have done both. One with the standard sidecut of the ski and add rocker tip and tail. One with the sidecut reversing at the point of rocker in the tip and tail. Just a guess on this but it seems that with the reverse sidecut ski at rocker the skis seem to smeer (?) more ...

Okay, So I got to head out today. Went to the resort with my son. The skis worked great. Softened up just right. Nice edge hold and great control. But with these snow conditions it is kinda hard to go wrong! Skied until 12:30 and had lunch with some friends. We decided to do a quick hike for the aft...

Went to the shop to take the skis out of the press this morning. Here are the skis fresh from the press. http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u242/rockaukum/IMG_0411_zps823d1e26.jpg There is some epoxy on the base but most of what you see is the spray adhesive used to locate the base on the cassette. ...

Face Lift!
So I was kinda bored yesterday and while in the shop I was staring at the used ski lot. Staring back at me was a pair of skis that had several days on them. The construction was good however the skis were kinda stiff for my liking (skiing is supposed to be fun). So I decided to dismantle them and sa...

Now that you mention it, I would think yes. How about this... When I do my layup, (core up) I wet the core with resin then lay out the glass then wet it out. Next I lay out the topsheet (cotton) and put another coat of resin on it, pressing layer ect... So if I use a dye in the resin on the bottom =...
