Does anyone know what is needed to make an I beam press hinge up like that

Hey COsurfer, I also live in denver, and can't find a carbon supplier, who are you using? Also I think that the vertical pieces of carbon could be eliminated. But if it works, why screw with a good product

is Solid Works overkill for ski designing?

Iggy you said that factory is K2? speaking of edge benders, does anyone know how Moment bends the edges to squared off tips?

has anyone ever used ONLY carbon fiber? Would that make the ski way to stiff? What are the main properties of fiberglass, since CArbon Fiber adds pop and snap?

That makes a lot of sense. Would kevlar add any interesting aspects. What does kevlar do to a ski besides making it stronger?

I was thinking of carbon fibering the crap out of the whole ski, do you think carbon fiber in the tip would be a better thing, or neutral? I figure it will need to pop like a son of a gun, and be pretty stiff. Do you think a layer of metal under the topsheet would give it a good stiffness?

Can anyone tell me how narrow a ski can be and still be mounted with modern bindings? Or how close to the edge of the ski can the binding screws be?

Does anyone know good specs for a mogul specific ski? I have looked at brands like K2, Volkl, and Moment who all have mogul specific skis, and am curious if anyone here has tried. Thanks

Should the core of Douglas or Hemlock be thicker than say an ash or maple? to give it more strength?

I'm working at a skier/ boot alignment shop in CO. I also teach kids ski school. Thats surprisingly where I learned my first 360 and front flip.

That press looks super nice. I have a couple quesitons for you Alex. How big of a hoist did you need to put that press together and stand it up? About how much did you spend on all your press materials including: frame, bolts, hoses, mdf for top and bottom mold. I have been searching around the foru...

What is a good type of press to make for inexperienced ski makers? Without sacrificing a lot of integrity of the ski? Thanks for your thoughts

I am looking to build and fund ski making, is the invitation open to new comers too? I am 24 and like drinking beer and skiing and starting to learn the Ski building process.

Does anyone have a killer plan or idea for making a cassette for pressing? If you have pictures and a sweet design I would love to slightly copy your great idea. Thanks
