I have read the article before but makes more sense after you dumbed it down. tahnx. I really don't know that I will be tackling any electrical engineering projects any time soon. I do know some kids in school for this. Well if anyone gets the itch to build another one of these magic boxes maybe I w...

I assume you profile one before the other and then have a crib to make up the difference.
Camber first, taper after.

makes sense to me. camber is profiled in instead of pressed in. No?

can someone enlighten a lamen on how this all work. Do I need a $450 controler? Thermostat? I need a thermocouple or it will go up to 550 F right? What can I use simply and cheaply. I tried to get a quote but I am slightly stoopid and am having trouble wrapping my brain around how all this works. I ...

this should live near the top

my freind builds longboards with carbon and plywood in a clamp press, pretty sweet.

how much do you weigh? What are the dims and length of the ski? What are other models of ski on the market that you like that share the similar dims? What wood are you using? There are many factors that lead to decisions here. There is lots of info here try searching harder. In the amount of time yo...

How bout beech?
I guess it machines well.
My freind has bunch.
seems stiff.
a little heavy for the same purpose as stringers.

So it took me maybe 8 months. Lots of planning and some tool acquisition and about $800 maybe more. But here is the first pair. They are the SG 5150’s. Named after my beloved golden retriever Scarlet Goldfeathers. She died a little over a year ago. Her dog tag is forever(I hope) embedded in the tops...

Yo Drews, I f you are going hose stly I just made some fabric bags for shopvac and co. check my info in his thread. Still waiting to here if they are good to go, but I am pretty sure it's a good way to go.
1000 Denier Cordura nylon heavy duty.
I can make them super fast.

The cassttes I saw had no way of locking the top to the bottom.
Just keys the bottom in outside the confines of the press.

Hey I saw this at pm gear. They basically had a key of small sections of aluminum plate outside the baldder/layup area on the movable cassette/mold Then attached to the press was a wood key that the bottom mold key slid into and it was static and held the mold perfect. Does this make sense? Is this ...

pros don't prebend.
I think the only benny you get is ease of layup and reduces teh possiblity of core shift if you don't have that worked out, other than that I think that triax and resin would hold a donky's camber
