Yup, always worried about that and made the transition a V. The problem is your core tapers so the thickness varies, this means your 2mm tip spacer is not the same thickness as your core for all of the junction. Started going straight across butt joint a few years ago and have yet to see a problem. ...

Re: Stupid things you did when ski building
I prepared sidewalls and tipspacers for layup - first the alcohol wipe, took a cloth, put quite some alcohol on it and wiped the sidewalls - put the cloth next to the sidewalls. Can you already guess whats next? Oh yes, I did it! I started flaming, went with the torch from one side to the other, an...

Water boils below ambient temperature at vacuum pressures. So even if you did install a filter it wouldn't condense the water out of the gas. More likely the mist from your pump is oil vapor. This vapor is very bad in your workshop as everything in there will be getting a very fine coating of oil. I...

Secret to nippers is keeping them perpendicular to the edge.
Properly built 3 roll edge bender should keep them true.

Is it 3 phase?Danielbroski wrote:so stoked on my recent purchase. The guy I know who owns the ski shop was getting rid of an old Wintersteiger SBN 350 with the edge grinder that he didn't need anymore, and offered it to me for $350. Went over to check it out and came back with a new grinder.
Nice deal!!!

Gotta get my floor coated in the shop before I move all the crap in there. Epoxy? Best thing I ever did in my shop. Leaning towards Rust Bullet, it's a single component moisture cured urethane. Way less prep and just paint it on. How did the epoxy deal with the fire? Sorry to hijack your thread Chr...

I've posted this before but will humor you and post it again 'cause it's been a while. The best thing I've ever found beside leaving your wood sidewalls untreated, is boiled linseed oil. Wipe it on, let it dry, wipe it off, and you're done for a year or more. I've got skis with over 120 days/6yrs st...
