I don't see why this shouldn't work out. You've got experience vacuum bagging and you've addressed the alignment issue. Reckon you're golden! I used to make snowboards in the UK years ago using a mould and bottle jacks for pressure. It worked ok but would definitely vacuum bag now for odd one. For more than that would go the inflatable bladder route. Looking forward to seeing the next vids. Happy new year btw!
Happy new year! Yeah, I've actually got a length of fire hose just waiting for the day when I get around to building a bladder press. Maybe by next season? That and a CNC and I'd be able to crank them out
I've been thinking about 3D printed drilling guides also, one idea I had was to use copper pipe inserts so the drill doesn't eat the inside of the holes
Great video series-- Thank you for doing it! I have just finished my first layup on a set of skis and used your series for a ton of guidance. Thanks again! I look forward to seeing the layup soon.
Looks good! I used to pin my core layers together when I'd bag a longboard, but I never glued them first. I had a few migrate and cause slight protrusion, so that's a good tip!
Looking good! I have a feeling your boards going to come out awesome. For inserts I always drew out them out by hand. Never had much luck with templates, but the 3d printer template is a good idea! This series makes me want to dig out all my snowboard materials and make another board.
@@GoodRoads Thanks! As soon as I get space for my router bridge jig again I will. I think all I need is sidewall material and wood for a core. If you look close in my videos you can see extra metal edging and the snowboard press in the background.
Good luck man! I wish you a happy new year full of successful projects and a larger amount of followers to make sure your ideas can come to life easier!!

Esqueci de perguntar no outro vídeo, quanto usa de pressão para fazer as rodas? Está usando ar ou vácuo? Nos testes que fiz aqui, aquele material que recomendei, serve muito bem para fazer as rodas.
@@GoodRoads assim que conseguir um compressor de vácuo, vou aumentar a pressão então. Estou usando ~30psi com bomba para bicicleta. Obrigado por responder.
i would probably prefer a slightly deeper drilling guide but i think a second registration pin would probably solve most issues - do two corners and the rest will be very easy.
Hey Chris, I’m making a powder board for my kids. I have tried a couple of things so.. do you have any specs (program) that I can use for a 3D or cnc mold?
I'm sorry I don't. I use Fusion 360 for most of my CAD work. Angus over on the channel Makers Muse has a really excellent beginner series on it if you're new to CAD (like I was). I also know there's a program called SnoCAD which is for skis and snowboards, but I haven't used it at all. I used a 7.5m sidecut radius on mine, based the waist off of my other snowboard, and based the location of the contact points on how wide I wanted the nose and tail to be. I eyeballed my mold profile. Hopefully some of that is helpful, good luck with your build!
Enjoying the ride on the this build
Nice video
Happy new year for you too!
What a good way to start the year!

@@GoodRoads yes cnc router would make life alot easier. Keep up the good work, really enjoy your channel.

happy new year to you as well. my stress level is with you but i know you got this in the bag ;P
Hah! Nice.
Really hoping everything works out well!! Good luck!

Glad it helped! Hope the layup went well!

Thanks dude! I've been loving your fin series, it would be cool to see you do a snowboard build

Always inspiring! Good luck with your layup. I believe in you & Happy new year!

I'm using pressure at around 40-45psi

That's a really good idea. I think using metal rod as a pin would help too because the plastic was thin enough that it flexed
noice!!!
Where did you get the materials?
