Snowboard getting ready to progress.. a lot soon

I hope at least! :D

I cut the edges and did a much better this time around. Though as usual I screwed mine up and my friend's remains perfect. Here is hers :


and I'd try to cut the ribs for making the snowboard profile molds.. and failed miserably so I found a cabinet guy with a cnc router to cut me some.. so here they are still sitting on the router:


from there I went on to put together the molds and was going to put some thin wood on top but decided it would be easier to throw on some metal I had laying around.. I just need to glue the metal down and they will be all done. One is 156 and the other is 143.


Then I gave the bases a nice wash which will be followed by a degrease and then I'll tack on the edges with some super glue.


I have mostly everything now to get them done! just need some fittings for the vacuum and a 1/2" router and bit which is in the mail!

Small snowboard update


My inserts came in the mail! the tops are magnetic so I toss on some steel powder and can see exactly where they are to drill out :D

Hopefully in a week or two I should be getting a lot more done
