 Thanks for the observation, Noel. I'm gonna take all these ideas,

 melt them in a big pot, and pour out something...don't know what, but

 it'll be spectacular.

 This will make the plywood lamination a bit trickier, but certainly

 doable. I'm ordering some components for vacuum bagging, so learning

 all these new skills will certainly delay the ribbon-cutting ceremony

 (on the new skis) a bit. : )


	


Lynn - sharing photos of all this sure would be worth the time. I'll be glad to help

with the process. The plywood bending and the vacuum bagging are really interest

grabbers. I can make web pages and post them if you want help.

Hi Paul-

I'm a big fan of shooting pics during the process, no matter what it  

is, so I'll be shooting while working. I just got notice that my  

vacuum bagging kit has shipped, and it only takes 3-4 hours to build,  

so I should be pulling a vacuum....no smart remarks, please....in a  

few days. I still need to think a bit more about the design of the  

stuff that goes *into* the bag, but that's the fun part...oh, hell,  

it's ALL fun!

Hey Paul, I tried to reply to your personal email to me regarding  

pictures of vacuum bagging, but it bounced.
