A pivotal fixture in almost every ski factory, the ski press has been a long time workhorse of the manufacturing industry. For the dedicated, the dream of owning a ski press has been realized through ample amounts of hard work, personal time, and money. I am proud to say that I am living this dream. Sharing bits and pieces of it within the forums has seemed to spark interest among the community, so sharing the foundation of my press in it's entirety is only appropriate.
The fundamentals of any ski press are fairly straight forward. Firstly they must be able to apply even pressure to a ski layup so it can be forced into the press moulds, and take on the camber, rocker, and tip profile.
