Pressing day

I finally layed up a board and got it in the press the other day. Here are the pics -

Wetting the core
The top sheet of fiberglass (the hemp is under the core)
Putting the board into the press
8 hours later it's done
The base of the finished board

The next step is to cut the board out, sand the edges, rout the sidewalls, and drill for the inserts. Tonight is the P party, so I probably won't get around to doing more work until next week. The next time you see it, it will look like a real snowboard.

  2. I like all the pictures of the manufacturing process. It's interesting to see how it's all done. Hope all is going well with Sequel and that you've been able to get up to the mountain as much as possible.
