Hi Parlor, Great that you're also going to build your own ride! I live in Delft, the Netherlands, so we are neighbours :) I just bought the materials for my press today, so hopefully this summer I will build my first pair of skis as well :) About the materials: We (me and a friend who builds snowboa...

Wood press may be out, but it's a lot cheaper than steel. I can buy most materials at university, but steel is still quite expensive. And since the wood replaces a lot of steel the entire press will be a lot cheaper. And because I'm just a student I can't affort an expensive press... I'm soon going ...

Hi, I made a small mistake in an earlier post. I can buy HMW-PE instead of UHMW-PE. ( PE 1000 = UHMW-PE and PE 500 = HMW-PE) And my question was if one on you did use HMW-PE?? Because this has a lower impact resistance, but also a lower friction coefficient. @ Mutombo: I'm busy contacting some edge ...

Bond UHMW(PE)
Maybe it's because of my English, but everywhere I look on the internet there is written that UHMW(PE) is non-adherent. Does this mean it does not bond good while using epoxie? Because when I informed at a local shop they told me it's very hard to bond because of its large coefficient of expansion a...

New ski press and parametric ski design
Hi there, I'm a newby overhere, but have big plans building my own skis. I already designed and analysed a new press, which is cheaper and is able to withstand 8 bar (116 psi). I also designed a parametric ski design in 3D CAD program SolidWorks, which gives the ability to design a ski by just editi...
