well, you could do it that way if you wanted a constant taper right up to the tips.

yep, you can get it in rolls depending on where you live. just google it.

regular paper doesn't stick to the topsheets, so if you want to go that way, you'll have to press without a topsheet and apply some UV-resistant clear coat. mind you need a printer that supports roll paper! (i'm using an Epson 2100...great printer! and very lightfast inks) we're planning on printing...

i guess the reason why nobody answered is that your crib design depends on many different factors such as ski length, width and most important the profile YOU want.

btw, what do you mean by 3500mm radius?

nice one! looks like you'll have one hell of a snowboard!
btw, your vds rubber (?) looks kinda strange...is that even vds? th edges look frayed...

what you need isnt just a bearing, but a bit with a bearing called flush trim router bit.

nice journal and workshop!
i think using grade 8 or higher bolts should do the trick for your press frame.

that last photo, is that a crash or was it a controlled jump? you caught quite some air

yeah, i can see why you're putting oak in the middle, but why not also on the edges? (see last graphic on the link you posted)

considering your wood config...i always thought people put in one strip of harder wood next to the sidewalls to get the best edge hold. correct me if i'm wrong.

lol, montucky! @dorabito: no need to get angry...all of the answers to your questions could be found in this wonderful forum if you'd only start reading. i read almost every single post on here before starting to plan my press and now i've got a press that works like a charm and produces great snowb...

you should put some of those in your cores and give it super space-techy name sth like dorito-ultra-lightning-bolt-special-weapon-makesyouridiculouslyfast-tech

I'm using the uni's big ass bandsaw and thicknesser to do the cores, then stealing the CNC again for the profiling, shape and insert holes. My 4th yr project is on snowboards, so I can use the uni equipment basically as much as I want as long as it's project related. I'm using Tasmanian oak insert ...

really great journal, alex! wish i could use the university's cnc that often. are you doing full pauwlonia cores? we're using pauwlonia as well, but we're using beech stringers at the inserts...didn't trust the pauwlonia too much in that department. the way you're glueing up the core planks looks li...

pretty long journey. where did you buy it and what did you pay? i got mine at timeout.de and 15kg (resin+hardener) cost me 200,- eur plus 56,- eur shipping.

yep, we're using the SR8500 / SZ8525 combo. gotta love that stuff! 20min. cure time at 90°C rocks.
