Just make sure your running length is at least about 100mm shorter than your effective edge. 50mm each end. Unless you are doing a fish or similar, then you don't need to worry so much at the tail. I usually draw the shape of the board I want first then you can work on the camber profile from there....

That amount of glass also adds up to a lot of resin and also therefore a lot of weight. These skis are going to be heavy.

Are you talking about the curve up of your board at the tip and tail? Or the radius along the sidewall where the effective edge turns into the tip and tail? If its the first one then you want something around 400-550mm radius. If you get some A3 paper and draw some 5:1 scale drawings you will know w...

So has anybody actually gotten around to building a reverse sidecut board yet? How did it go?

hey everybody, is there anyone out there that can email me the printer hack to print long images?
I have searched and found the link on here but when you follow it the download link on the website is dead.

The round rod will work great. The ally angle won't allow you to get good adjustment. You need your table made pretty solid as the load you impart to make the rod bend to your profile can be quite high and I have found it could pull my vac table set up out of shape. Save the ally angle to make your ...

3/4 inch is a really wide channel, have you thought of dropping that down to 9/16 so you can make the trail size go further? The sand idea is a good one to try too.

I haven't built skis only boards so obviously using less product but with a 3/4 channel width I doubt you will have enough.

Nice looking skis. Is that the green base from skilab? I think I'm using the very same stuff right now.

Have you sealed that mdf with something? MDF is so porous it can be used on a vacuum table without grooves or holes. You will be losing a lot of vacuum through the sides of you mdf if you don't seal it up well. I have found the coated mdf used for cupboards and stuff is goid for vac tables

Hey two pretty big upgrades to the press lately. A single hose big enough that I don't need a cat track anymore and can do 3d shapes. My molds are 400mm wide so you can get an idea of size. http://i1362.photobucket.com/albums/r686/gavwa08/20140806_152922b_zpsaf355003.jpg [/URL] And an even bigger up...

Hey Dtrain, sent you a PM. The veneers I use are pure timber veneer, no paper back. They are damn fragile but with a bit of care seem easy enough to use. I had quite a bit of resin make it's way through the veneer onto the top, it made the veneer topsheet nice and durable but made some messy spots t...

I just ran the veneer through an A3+ printer. Printed straight on easy as. I need to find a hack so I can print the full length though. At the moment my printer software only options up to 1250mm long. So I did it from both ends. It was about two weeks between printing and pressing so the ink was we...

Well after pressing up a sandboard http://i1362.photobucket.com/albums/r686/gavwa08/20140605_171706_zpsdf315e29.jpg [/URL] I thought I better try a full size snowboard. So here is my first snowboard pressed. [/img] http://i1362.photobucket.com/albums/r686/gavwa08/20140727_205755b_zpsd03a7740.jpg htt...

Yep
