thought i would update everyone. It ended up being the mold. The bottom was not entirely flat, would not recomend using 2x6's for the bottom mold lol. so i took some bondo and flatened it. bases are super flat now. amazing.

cool video! that edge bender looks great i have been thinking about making something similar. So it looks like you are wetting everything out first on a separate table then transferring it over to the final layup area?

might be looking into purchasing more blankets. would it be possible to get a blanket slightly longer?

Curious what everyone is doing to help protect their wood topsheets and how well it has held up with abuse. Anyone tryed any stains or resin "hot coats". Just finished a board with a red oak veneer.

another option is using a tilt base router with a trim bit. do a search for head monkey. he illustrates it. iv done this method and it works really well.

Like doughboy stated its very time consuming and costly. check out a company called Wednesday. iv order quite afew cores from them they have been great. Very convenient and ready to go core blanks http://www.skibuilders.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1954 I would suggest doing a good search through the ...

anyone get any change in shape from swapping just from heating bottom to top. pretty sure that would only effect the overall camber of the board, and not effect the edge to edge concavity or or convexity.

Anyone else having issues with concavity? Can't seem to figure out why mine are coming out with a concave base. Using a pneumatic type press with heat on both sides. The mold appears to be flat. i am rabbiting the core edges for the steel edge to sit flush. Maybe i am not leaving enough depth? i not...

looks awesome doughboy, couldn't agree with you more on the underfoot rocker. rode one practically everyday last season, the most unstable board i have ever ridden.

on the tip and tail rocker. do you have a pre determined spot were you begin the rocker? curious how that works.

anyone have luck with something like this?

something like that may last abit longer. mcmaster sells a diamond blade its like 25 dollars though.

i twisted my TC ends and they worked great.

i use the jigsaw method aswell seems to be the easiest i have tryed. i was able to use one blade to trim an entire snowboard. then i use 1" belt sander to trim the flash to the edging, seems to work pretty well.
