In for a group buy at whatever thickness, color, or width. Would prefer a nice wide 12" roll, but I'll take whatever.

Where did you get your bamboo from for your core? Looks like a fantastic job with the sidewall and profiling.

Some of the alpine board manufactures out there use rubber sheet as a dampening material. A board of mine that I cut apart had perforated rubber and below the titanal layers. Does this rubber have to be a specific rubber like VDS? Better question, what type of rubber is VDS? Butyl, neoprene, EPDM, g...

I was thinking about it yes. Took it up to 60psi and it didn't seem to flex any. Seems like it might work. Plan is to take away one layer of particle board underneath and add the mold block and another sheet of MDF on top of the MDF. I've been at this so long I just want to produce something at this...

Came out well enough I suppose, well enough to get the ball rolling, er ski sliding down the hill. Looking forward to the first pressing this we...

Have you looked into making your own heat blanket? You can make your own for about 1/2 the price. Requires some math but its pretty straightforward.

Regarding the skwal...where do you start your flex taper from 2.2-11? Do you keep it flat at 11 until after the rear binding? I love skwals!

Added 2nd PID controller to the box and added intake/outake fans to keep internals cool. Also added switches for PID power and fan power. Box is officially done!

Maybe this week I'll get the press mold done and get things moving.
