Ok, just two questions how did it handle being profiled? How does it hold a screw? Thanks!

I've done solid poplar. I also recycled some old cedar deck boards and used them for skis. The cedar skis looked awesome and were super light, but they shifted off the tip mold (flat tails) and didn't have enough tip to be safe skiing (yes, of course I tried). So I can't really tell you how they sk...

Ok, thanks

I'm going to go with a 2 mm nose 12.5 mm mid foot and a 2.5 mm tail.

[quote=

Btw a 10mm waist with a 3 mm tail is likely going to be a noodle with a very stiff tail. Thickness changes in the order of a couple tenths of a mm will be noticeable both in hand flexing and performance[/quote]

Would 2.5 mm 13mm 3 mm make more sense for an all mnt/pow ski?

The cores are not going to have spacers going to be full wood core.

I downloaded the excel file, wasnt for me. So I made my core in snocad and brought it in to a drawing program flipped it horizontal and started at the thinnest point with 2 in gap and worked my way through the core and ended with this. I plan on fine tuning it some more and then all I have to do it ...

I have access to a planer and plan on using it. I have spent the last couple of days researching how to make a crib and I got all the basics besides on key fact. How to figure out what sizes to make the blocks for the crib, I'm going to be making 3mm tip to 12 mm mid foot to 5 mm tail. In order to g...

The flooring works fine. Get it. Or drop cash and get 4x8 sheets of the vertical grain . Teregan, smith and mong. Etc, etc. unless you buyin a few cubic meters directly from china. It's not cheap. 100 bucks for a box of flooring. 3 sets pow skis, or like 150-200 for a 4x8 sheet of the same stuff. S...

If you look at the bottom of the page, the actual dimensions are 1 x 5 ". That stuff looks like it has a lot of voids just like most plywood. I would stay away from it. Ok, well were do you guys get bamboo? I have been looking all over for wide bamboo flooring and all I have found is the snap ...

I just took a look at that site, they have some good deals. But here is my question would it be possible to buy a 2in x 6in x 8ft cut to to 1in x 6x x 8f to .5 in x 6 in with a table saw? Buying one plank of bamboo for 4 skis. You've got to factor in the kerf. Thin kerf ripping blade is around 1/8&...

Worth buying ?

Winsdsor Ply wants $35 for a 1"x6"x8'...Ive seen the product and it looks great but $70 for cores seems too pricey. Ive been searching around and Calibamboo sells this $13 for a 2"x6"x8' http://www.calibamboo.com/bamboo-lumber-lumboo.html It looks plenty strong as a board but I ...

Ok I think I will just make a normal mdf table and use this plan from joe woodworker http://www.joewoodworker.com/veneering/ ... -press.htm . cant get much simpler than that.

Ok just downloaded sketch up, so go easy on how bad this draw up is. But this is the idea I'm working with. The inside of the box with a support in the middle that has air holes drilled in it. Make it air tight by using plumbing sealant along the seams, inside and outside. http://i42.tinypic.com/2dh...

I might be taking that road because after making a few pairs and having some bad luck with the holes throug...
