excited for you scotty. its got to feel so good to go from start to finish on a project like that. I'm trying to get out there for alpy's last weekend. rocker is so $$$ goes to show you don't need to have super exaggerated rocker to get most of its positive benefits.

H - Let me know when you are going to be out here so I can do my best to get your skis to you in person.
Rocker is an interesting animal, for sure. Right now, I think I have 6-7 different rocker lengths/heights, from 15cm to 35cm, and from 1cm to 2.5cm, and want to add more. But rocker is amazing.Seriously, this can’t turn into yet another ON3P thread....

Thanks! Portland is looking like where I am ending up for at least the next year. As long as I can get a 9-5 to pay the rent, I should be down there by late-June to early July.
It would be sweet to have access to any sort of equipment down there. Right now I get all my templates cnc'ed, but beyond that it is all done by hand (well...with tools).
Press is 100% homemade. It is drilled so that it can be taken apart fairly easily. All 1/2" grade 8 bolts ranging from 2" to 7" in length. It is held together by 148 bolts, so a lot of drilling to get everything to finished. Some of the bolts go through 3 layers of steel over a 6" range, so building it took quite sometime because I had to be sure everything was drilled pretty accurately. Plus moving around two 220+ pound beams and getting them correctly lined up is a lot of work for one person....
When I calculated it, I think it came out that I had drilled something like 15 feet of steel to finish the press.
As I said above, I plan to sell this press. Next one will be easier to construct for sure and may likely be welded, which would save me quite a hassle.Last edited by iggyskier; 04-16-2008 at 12:00 AM.

Glad I happened to click this thread. I had NO idea on3p was actually pressing. Sounds like you've got your shit together, Scott. Sounds like you're putting out some badass skis, too. :thumbsup:
My quiver has changed some. A little downsizing to a seemingly much more reasonable quiver (the first two pairs don't count).
The 178 B3s have been converted into rental skis for friends who come and visit. My first ever pair of skis (175 pocket rocket) is specifically for getting beaten to shit in October and November. The BROs, 170 Deep Powders, and GS skis have been sold. Here's what I'm left with:
03-04 183 iM103 w/ 997s (actually bought from the guy who's making skis now. Love 'em, Scott). Everyday skiing and firm snow.
2007 178 Lotus 120 with Dukes (missing its brother. ) Soft snow.
161 Atomic 9'16 Slalom. Night skiing on ice at Keystone. Some groomers. Not much other use.
179 PE. Park.
180 Budda Explosiv. Replacement for the iM103s when they die."I said flotation is groovy"

since you asked
thats a '91 Libtech Grocer 186, It rooled the backcountry of Alpy from 92-97 when I lived at the foot of Guy Peak those years. shalom was a jab at the corporate ski world.
I hiked the Guy scree field w/ the performer when ever it was good. God I miss alpy, but Schwietzer was good to me this year.
Anyway heres a redo of the quiver. My & Mrs. b0ardski's combined, updating skis next season, will be picking some maggot brains. NTN for surethe '89 T1's are toast.

181 Scott P4 w/P12 Ti: powder and soft snow. Carves awesome trenches in soft groomers. Mounted 2.5 cm back.
176 LP w/dukes: variable conditions, going fast, and backcountry. They are actually heavier than the P4's!
181 Rossi Scratch WRS w/FKS 12: firm, park, and moguls. Super poppy, energetic, and versatile ski. Mounted 1cm forwards.
All I am missing is a super fat, rockered ski.Last edited by critical-motion; 04-27-2008 at 07:58 PM.
