For a single bar method to work the bar must be centre of the cutter IMO, that's how mine was. The 2 bar method removes the need to be centre of cutter but you will lose some detail in the process, no big deal if your profile has long transitions though

Also also lol you can add packing boards under the core to remove more thickness than the plunge depth of the planer if you need to.

Another thing, dont cut your core ends to shape like that until you have profiled it or you open yourself up to catastrophic blow outs

That will work, without the rear support the tail of the planer will get stuck on the mess the planer leaves behind.
I used a similar set up before I bought my drum sander.

cause its much easier to fit the edges when you can cut it to length like that after bending. Also having a 4m length of edge flapping around while you bend it wouldnt be much fun

Cheers vin. Heres another one. 170cm, 125 edge, 30 nose, 15 tail, 8m sidecut. 100% bamboo core, a bit of carbon tape in there too, super thin and heaps of pop. 3.5kg and it still has the protective sticker on the base so it will come down a bit after the grind. http://i760.photobucket.com/albums/xx...

My experience is a thicker or stiffer core will try and stay flat more than a thinner one, makes sense really.

Im working in Myoko for the season. Snow has just started really.
We had 18cm then 75 cm then 35cm then a day off. Today we have light snow, maybe 10cm or so.
