I was thinking a spiral flush trim bit with a bearing guide. It would be glued to the core already and I would use the core as the guide for the bearing. I'm using abs plastic. I'm using a belt sander at the moment and it is a pain in the ass. I know this is always an issue, mostly with keeping the ...

I use a nipper too although my cut is a bit different. The cut in the video has a U shaped cut on the other side to increase or decrease the radius of the bend. It compliments the other side with the single tooth. That way a quick squeeze will make the adjustment rather then a twist . IMO that desig...

I'm getting pricing from huntsman and it is cheap, really cheap. Like $6 per board. This is for a drum rather than a 5 gallon. I'll expect the prices to go up a bit if smaller quantities are available. I'm waiting on a response here. If I am able to get 5 or 6 gallon kits and there is benefit to put...

I put tire slime in mine and drained most of it. I had some hose that was sweating, hundreds of pinholes. I also had some small leaks around the clamps at the end. It fixed the pinholes no problem, but I still get some leaks on the ends. The ends would seal, but after a few cycles it starts to leak ...

Wonder if a consumer grade heat blanket would get hot enough to at least keep the resin thin during the winter months. $50 vs. $500? Could even nap on the layup table since building takes up life. I haven't gotten a chance to call huntsman. Richuk, would you be willing to spill the price and A/B com...

I've been meaning to call huntsman, I'm going to do that tomorrow. I don't have a heated table and didn't think of it, Press is.

Why heat the layup? Make a side of hashbrowns?

Montucky, sounds like you like the entropy despite the price. The low toxicity is damn near appealing enough for me.

Made some calls about epoxy today to get some pricing. After reading through the numbers of hundreds of different epoxies and then trying to find cost it gets a little overwhelming. I have a few models on price, but maybe someone can help make sense of the engineering stats? I called Applied Poleram...

Now I see MM. That is better indeed. Looks way cleaner than having a buzzilion bungees and way less of a hassle.

So I put together a quick attempt to suspend the cat track. MM, The 2 sheets to surrounding the blanket sounds like a good way to go although are you loading it back in with each layup? My quick attempt uses some cotter pins cut down to about 3/4 of an inch to keep the sheet metaltight to the track....

I was taking a look at some of the factory vids. Their presses attach sheet metal to their cat, which mounts the blanket to the top form. I'm trying to figure out a good method to have 1 sheet, that bends with the cat, to a range of sizes. One big factor in this is the fact that the mounts actually ...

I figure a full wrap of vds would well worth the material. I especially think that has a clean look. From what I've seen, a planer is too rough to keep that sidewall bonded. Maybe planing with a sander rather than the blade is the key? Although if they cnc, then why have a sander like what is shown ...

Are the edges sanded at more than a right angle at the edge or rounded off at the graphic layer? The look is really clean. I've seen those vids a few times. Seems like having the sidewalls attached would be a hassle although it is the perfect height every time. It sounds like most people that have t...

Neversummer's tip and tail sections have a really clean look. What do you guys think they do to get the look. Best pic I could find was by a company they build for called status.

The black line is VDS?

pressing longboards was practice for building snowboards. My press was pretty simple so I had no tools to measure actual pressure, but enough to break some 2x4s. Also enough to bend concave and make drop decks.

I've spent a fair amount of time on silverfishlongboarding.com. Their forums have a section for people that build their own skate decks. The people that build on there are a simple version of what we have here. The presses are often wood with ribs. These guys usually slap together a press for $20 an...
