relicts from the 90s https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/919133_719087664781541_1692401408_o.jpg Happy now? More importantly I took the board out for some real action today. It rode awesome. It's designed as a directional free ride board. Held an edge perfectly no matter how fast...

Ha, yeah my gear is pretty old. I got that stuff back in '99 when I took a year off school to be a bum in Aspen. Good times. I haven't decided on boots yet but I'm waiting for Catek to get another shipment of Brotherhoods in. Also contemplating a pair of Union Contact Pros. As I get my building dial...

I'm willing to bet it's dry under the top sheet. when I put it on I just smeared it into the top layer of glass instead of adding more epoxy I don't seem to have this problem with the other layers. Pressing at 55psi. Testing on Saturday. Pretty stoked about it. https://scontent-b-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hp...

Got number 2 just about cleaned up. Going in for the grind on Thursday. This one turned out much better but still having a couple issues. The delamming around the top sheet when I cut off the flash for one. I did sand and flame everything but I'm willing to accept user error. You can also see that r...

Took it for a ride on Saturday. Was really floppy but I expected that. I used a router bridge and found the core being sucked into the bit. I suppose I would need to figure some clamping system to keep the middle down. Going to try the planer crib on the next one since I made one of those as well. I...

Also on your tail (the bottom of the full length photo) I see two horizontal lines on the tip spacer that look like maybe they had concentrated pressure there. I see you're using a cattrack, are those marks from some of the cattrack bars? Do you have any kind of material between the cattrack and th...

Yeah, I'm going to let it sit for a while and see if that takes out some of the brittleness. If it gets better ill try a repair. Though I'm not in much hurry to do so as I already started the next one. And I'll probably have that one pressed first. But yeah I think leaving it alone for a while befor...

1st board finally out of the press! And let me tell you it is a total POS. Not really a surprise but I at least hoped to ride it. Not happening. Didn't even bother to clean it up other than running it through the band saw. I screwed up the epoxy by mixing it by volume instead of weight. Oops. It's s...

so wait... some of you guys are skiing on unfinished wood sidewalls without any issues? i did all bamboo sidewalls for my first run and was thinking that I absolutely NEEDED to seal them, ending in me applying epoxy to each set with a paintbrush, which to be honest ended up looking like shit. I'm s...
