Senior Project Help

I already posted in the official ski building thread, but I figured I would post here.

What's up ns? This upcoming spring I am doing my senior project for my school, and I plan on designing and building a pair of skis. I will be doing it over the course of May, when I am out of school. I will have to log 75 hours of work over the course of 3 weeks. I plan on doing a significant amount of research and planning through sites like newschoolers and skibuilders.com over the next coming months before I start. I will be carrying out my project in the garage of my house along with help from my dad. I will most likely be making a vacuum press unless I can find someone in the RI/MA area that has a press i could use.

Here's the problem. I need a mentor for the project. Someone that has a decent amount of experience in building skis. The communication would most likely be over the phone, and through pictures of the skis online, unless I can find someone that lives within a couple hours from me. I would have to do a quick email interview with you if you volunteered, and you would just have to talk to my teacher over the phone. I wouldn't need a lot of your time, I would just send emails and check in occasionally. I am looking for any help I can get. If you think you would be willing to be my mentor or know someone that might be able to help me please pm me.

Thanks ns, any help is greatly appreciated

+k for any help
