Replying to My ski building Journal.
So, my skis are finally nearing completion. Or at least nearing the point of nearing completion. Ok, I have one hell of a lot more to do, but heres what I have so far:
All the materials are accounted for.
All tools are accounted for.
I have laminated a pair of cores.
I have just built the core profiler.
I have mostly designed the graphics. (Ok, Ok... so it was my om who did that... but they are badass.)
What I have left to do:
Profile the core.
Build a mold.
Cut out bases/fiberglass/tip spacers/edges/etc.
Layup
I'm probably forgetting something... but oh well.
Oh... yeah... I haven't completely finished the design of the ski yet. It will be symmetrical early rise/rockered about 140-150 at the tips. 125-135 at the waist. 178 long. I am more or less building a very wide rockered Invader.
Should be interesting.
Here's a photo of the core profiler with one core on top:

I will post more tomorrow when I profile the core.
