Tex, That's my thread you linked to. The screws holding down the core are only at the very front where the core is left long to deal with planer snipe and chip-out. These ends get cut off after profiling. The profiling jig is one sided ( or maybe that should be "one ended") so it's easy to...

Sorry man, working at my hill that day.

My co-worker has the right equipment and would happily print an accurate, single piece, paper template. He'd like $5 a copy to cover paper, ink, and time, plus whatever shipping costs. Just e-mail a dxf or pdf or dwg file to the address in my profile. I glue the paper templates to mdf to make a buil...

Sorry if I missed it, but has anyone recomended Dan Graff's SnowCad yet? It's a free download.

Parobolic side cuts can be made simply by biasing the center of the side cut fore or aft.

Most important thing is that when you meet girls, tell them you're "from Spain" not "Spanish", otherwise they'll think you're from South America (not that that's a bad thing). You'll just score more being from Spain. ;) Of course, I'm assuming you're a guy, if you're a girl it wo...

Sweet video Plywood, thanks!

For your tip and tail length and hieght, I'd suggest checking out ski manufacturers web sites and looking at specs of comercial skis intended for the same use as what you're building. It may not be perfect but should at least get you in the range that you'll end up with something usable. 8cm offset!...

Got a little more done this past week: Routed the base material http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i99/neclassic/snowboard/snowboard001-1.jpg I clamped the material down one side of the mdf template and cut the other side, then clamped the cut side so nothing would shift before cutting the other. Use...

There are a couple of companies that make approach skis that colapse by way of a joint in the middle of the ski.

NICE! Looks good.

[sarcasm]To bad you don't have access to a better machine though. [/sarcasm]

Was it this one? http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-a-Three-Axis-CNC-Machine-Cheaply-and-/ Did you guys buy the stepper motors or scavenge them? Yes, that's it. All parts were bought new. I'm not aware of all the details on the motors and such. I'll see if I can get Eric on here to answer ...

No, but you can set a knife in it and play that game where you stick it between your fingers realy fast!

I just lent a hand building the machine in the video. My co-worker Eric, the guy in the video, is the one who built it.

Cool!

Do you have a link to some info about this?

I once worked at a shop with a wood welder. It still required a thermoplastic adhesive (Titebond wood glue).
