Well, sort of. Bob Boice (cadman on here) did prototype work for 4frnt on vashion before the press got moved to slc.

Quoted for amazingness.

Profile plastic sheet, then rip into sidewall strips on table saw.

hey ig, why does your press design have such a gigantic opening top to bottom? Seems like your bottom mold is huge. Is that a strength thing for over time or what? Originally we were going to build a press that had a sliding mold track a la burton so that loading the skis was super easy. I didn't h...

Yes, their press uses hot water for heating.

Here is my back country ski. I'm kind of angry at these skis. They broke two pairs of alpine trekkers. Sad http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs400.snc4/46322_1604963646981_1322833569_31616685_4263369_n.jpg Just a thought...but you sure it wasn't those bindings that broke those trekkers?

If you are reading this Iggy, these are Rich Fahey's old skis... before he got on the on3p team. tell him that. Oh if you guys dont believe me, go to you tuba and look up rich fahey slamina. he used this ski in the segment. Wait.....so you want me to tell Rich that you are angry at his/now your ski...

you guys wanna know how the pros do it?

Yep, guessed right. Jig saw, sand smooth. Just don't suck at it and all will be good .

Iggy's method of cnc'd planer crib and a good planer is a popular method amongst small/medium factories, even ones who have their own cnc machine! Its just tough to get the planer(s) dialed for runs of multiple cores. But I think if you simply just have something to gage the tips with, you can come...

You do need to be careful, don't want to drop them or anything. But some of our profilers have done 150 pairs of cores with no issues.

Still for sale. Right now was asking $1200 for all of it. email me if interested - scott AT on3pskis.com
