Just got wood for the core and profiler from Dixieline Lumber (I'm in SoCal btw). for the core: 6' 1x6 maple - 3.5cm/~1.4in on each side of the poplar center 7' 1x6 poplar - 4 cm/~1.6in for the laminate's center (I ordered 6' but they gave me another foot for free! Make a nameplate and put it on my ...

re: UA/ base layer shirt

As long as the cost isnt more than 10$ over regular retail (retail for short sleeve regular under armour is 25$, long sleeve 30$ last I checked), I'd be all for it. I sent email to under armour to check their pricing for you guys.

I used some kind of pine from home depot just to be cost effective (not sure which specie... sorry) It's kind of insane how accurately you nailed what I'm aiming for - a really fast edging alpine ski. And skince most of the skiing I do is on hard pack and (unfortunately) ice, that's exactly what I'm...

I'll take as many as I can.

Step One - Read every page and forum post on this site. Step Two- Bug the hell out of everyone with all kinds of questions (thanks to everyone that contributed to the answers) Step 3 - The Template http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y29/zack726/DSCF1045.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y29/zack726...

One quick clarification would help a lot - does the stiffness come from the epoxy and fiberglass? Or just the fiberglass? The epoxy I can get has a hardness (Shore D) of 60 vs. 80 in most of the commonly used ski stuff. This is a signifigant amount, but with 22oz triaxial fiberglass (I cou7ld do 2 l...

I'm a junior too - I figured ski building would be an awesome soodhop project and lifetime hobby.

I could get any of the 3M epoxys. Here is one example: http://multimedia.mmm.com/mws/mediawebserver.dyn?6666660Zjcf6lVs6EVs666yz0COrrrrQ- (linked from http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/!ut/p/kcxml/04_Sj9SPykssy0xPLMnMz0vM0Q9KzYsPDdaP0I8yizeIN_Rw0i_IcFQEAJc3WMM!?PC_7_0_72L_root=GST1T4S9TCgv&PC_7...

I know a guy who works for 3M and has offered me virtually unlimited free epoxy. The problem is - it is the type of epoxy used with fiberglass on the inside of car bumpers for rigidity. He says he is not sure if it will be too stiff- but he admits he is no expert on this matter. I need your knowledg...

Thanks!

Do you leave teh compressor running at your desired PSI (lets say 45) for the 8-12 hours of press, or do you fill the bladder then turn it off?

I've been looking on the site and through the forums, but I can't find many specs on compressors. What specs would you reccomend? I can get one that delivers 5.4CFM, will that do? I figure 7 feet of hose x 2.5in radius works out to ~11.5 cubic feet. This seems like it would not work but I don't know...

According to snowboardmaterials.com 1 litre is enough for 1 snowboard. That is without making a laminated core though. I'd guess 1 litre a ski, so 2 for both (if you laminate the core). But im not sure.

And to follow that up, how much epoxy do you need per ski?

Has anyone expermimented with assymetrical cores? It would involve a specific right and specific left ski, but it could be very cool.

Look through the how to guide - It's there somewhere.
