Ski press and moulds done.
Posted: Sun Feb 13, 2011 8:36 am
finally got my 1 ski press finished! just need to shorten the fire hose (its a little long).
Got to make a 'catrack' then start to profile cores.
im struggling to understand how a 'planer crib' works - trying to get my hands on a thicknesser but after reading some posts on here im confused?
once i have some cores sorted (probably all poplar) with tip spacers, can get the first pair laid up!!
here are some pictures of the press http://s1189.photobucket.com/albums/z423/Tcasselden/
any tips or comments greatly received! - some advice on good sources of poplar or bamboo for the UK if anybody knows some would be helpful too!
thanks
