That's exactly how I did mine, just added sides to my profiling bed.
I used screws to hold the top plate to the bottom plate and a few strategic screws out in the flash in the middle of the core to hold it down.

Ghetto sketch

Definately rough up the core with sandpaper to aid bonding. I rebate after the core is profiled with a laminate trimmer.

My old planer crib worked in reverse to yours, the edges that the planer jig run on were flat and the profile was adjustable via the lower bed.

well you won't lose that board in a hurry will you haha

Carbon should be banned from peoples minds until they have built 10 ridable sets of skis or boards. It just clouds peoples judgement, kind of like buying a car and not caring about anything but the colour of the paint. Get your process down, build skis that work without bells and whistles, then once...

Sweet!

Camber wont negatively affect powder performance if you get the tips right. I have camber boards that float better than commercial rocker powder boards.
You can have your cake and eat it too in this case

The biggest variable that will effect how much camber you get is how thick/stiff the core is.
Mine are really thin, between 6mm and 7mm so I get more than 5mm camber. Its something you just need to play with to perfect.

another thing I should post is that I have a feeling the time differential does more than the heat differential. Because the bottom mat fires up first it pulls it that way, I reckon you could finish them at the same temp and still get the camber as long as you maintain the temp differential as they ...

I don't notice substantial pull in the tip or tail but I dont really check either. You might get 1% variation.

Unless your cores are soggy noodles to begin with which I doubt that little bit of camber makes all the difference mate. I've played around a lot with this stuff, pushing the boundary till I push too far. Ive got boards that are flat, rocker, camber/rocker/camber, mild camber and too much camber lol...

Sweet man, can't wait to see it.

A flat plank of wood will push either way with little force,this is responsible for the dull feeling that your friends are reporting, a pre bent one has stored energy and will spring back like a bow (and arrow). That right there is pop and it really makes the board or skis come to life. I too use a ...

Dont worry about carbon, the camber is what will make the difference. Do the heat mat differential and see what you get, 20°c hotter on the bottom for the entire cycle.

Hai

If you are handy with the mig or tig make up an offset bracket, then probably a bit of a truss over the top to eliminate flex and you should be good to go, smashing out cores in a few minutes.
