Scarface-board
Well, first off, I know this is a ski building site, but I hoped I could slip through with a snowboard
The background story is me and two friends building two (not three, since one of them do not snowboard) snowboards in school. This far all we really done is taking a look at the graphics, and mate a blueprint for the board. It gonna be 154cm long and about 30cm wide.
Soon we're gonna start off with building a mould, and after that the wooden core, hopefully we'll have it done til' may or something like that.
The theme I chosen for my board is scarface, and I thought I show you my sketches of what I think it will look like, any comments are welcome.

Re: Scarface-board
what are the dimensions of your board? you said something about 30cm wide. and how do you press your boards? the molds look extremely wide on the pictures, but they look promising! i`m looking forward to read about your work

Yeah the widest part is 30cm and it's 153 long.
We do this as a project in school so we have access to a big fat press that can give us many tons of pressure =) I'll see if i can get any photos of it soon!
The mould is actually not that wide, about 35-40cm, but not that thick, so we're thinking of maybe reinforcing top and bottom a bit.

An photoupdate with some new and old photos
The raw material of our mould
We made the mould in two halves that we glued together
Alex and Oscar showing up themselves and the shape of our mould
Getting help planning the top and bottom side of our mould
The press we will be using
Sawing out some polystyrene to glue onto the mould
The final product, looking good?

An small update
Part two of the graphics printed on 8 overhead-papers to make an big (160x50cm) screenprint, currently working on the blood, pictures comes soon
Once again getting help from a teacher to plan out the wooden core to 6mm all over
The wooden core roughly cut out, made a quarter piece of the shape and makes the shape after that
The final shape of the core
Going for a cap construction, so the cores wall got an angle (roughly 30-40degrees)
