I never heard of perma-snow so I looked it up... Here's some info on it, http://www.perma-snow.com Looks interesting.... With global warming is this the future of skiing/riding? I imagine falling on it has to hurt. :| Can you actually carve a turn on it or do you slide into a turn?? I teach skiing a...

I'm making 2 sets of skis w/ full wood core, they'll have wood side walls. I made the cores today. One set is poplar/maple the other poplar/ash. Just throwing this out there.... Years ago I saw on a TV home show where they melted vinyl records w/ acetone and use it as a finish for a piece of wood fu...

I know this is an old post, hopefully you still follow the forum... So how did the skis work this past winter? I ski the east also and need a ski that holds on packed powder, and frozen granular (ice). Anyway, I'm working on a similar pair of skis, they'll be 174cm, dimensions 116-70-102. I'd like t...

The skis look pretty good. Let us know how they handle when the snow flies. Be nice to see a couple more pics of the base/sidewalls. To be honest I started to make a ski press like yours. After reading many of the postings about the forces involved when pressing I decided not to go that route. I'm s...

And you never saw a dentist?! That's ballsy. I knew dentists use a form of super glue but I wouldn't try it myself.... I had hernia surgery 13 yrs ago and they used a form of super glue on the outside instead of stitches. Thankfully it holds because the last thing I'd want to see were my bowels on t...

I missed that episode but I've seen the show before and they do dumb it down so it looks fairly simple. I saw an episode of how Snowboards are made awhile ago. Looked so simple. Of course we know it's more complicated. btw - here's another website www.howstuffworks.com

argh! Teeth can be bitch. I've had my own issues but to do you own bridge work my guess is you really need to know what you're doing. I wish it was that easy. Are we going to start a new forum of bridge work? :D Anway good luck. I've been fighting w/ insurance to pay for dental implants. They're exp...

Nice ski press! That's what I have in mind too. I've been using SnoCad-x to drawup skis. Easy to use. I'll try the Google sketch for kicks. Thanks.

Equipment and Tools (e.g., ski press, core profiler, etc)
Nice Drawing! My initial design was very similar. I'm not an engineer either but I think there are a few in the forum. I've ready many discussions about psi... how much you need, whether you use heat or not during the pressing process, etc. This site has a ton of info. Take the time to read through ...

Equipment and Tools (e.g., ski press, core profiler, etc)
I looked at a lot of the ski presses on this site and most use steel in one way or another. (If I knew how to weld I would have used 2in square steel tubing. There's some good pics in the forum. Check this one http://skibuilders.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1465, there are others.... Since I can't wel...

Murchonn ski (Russia)
Looks like the skis turned out well. The weather here has been very nice lately so it's difficult to work inside. Still need to complete my ski press. Well I have all summer
