Board opening - Otvaranje daske

My birthday board - moja rodjendanska daska

Today I've decided to glue the top sheet to the bamboo core. The top sheet is as before carbon fiber plus closed cell foam. It is very light and strong. Why I'm doing this? Well, somehow the rocker and concave must me built and for me this is the most elegant solution.

Danas sam odlucio zalijepiti gornji sloj daske na bambus. Gornji je sloj kao i prije napravljen od carbon fiber tkanine i plastike sa zatvorenim zracnim komorama. Vrlo lagan i cvrst materijal. Zasto uopce radim ovako? Pa nekako se mora napraviti rocker tj. zakrivljenost i concava daske i meni je ovo najlakse rjesenje.

 

I've left the perforated plastic on top of carbon top sheet. This way I can easily position the top sheet on the core and trace the outline with the black marker. Otherwise, how would I position the top sheet on exact place? This is very delicate operation and need to improve it somehow.

Kao sto se vidi, ostavio sam perforiranu foliju na gornjem sloju. To mi sluzi da pozicioniram gornji sloj na bambus i oznacim markerom poziciju na foliji. Inace kako bih postavio gornji sloj na tocno mjesto? Ovo je vrlo osjetljiv rad i moram naci neko jednostavnije rjesenje. 

Fiberglass on top of the bamboo core.

Ne zaboravimo fiberglass.

Under the vacuum. I think I've used around 62ml epoxy. Proved vacuum table, all good. Rocker 1/3 board length and concave hopefully 4-5mm.

Sve pod vakumom. Utrosio sam oko 62ml epoxyja. Isproban vacumski stol, sve super. Rocker 1/3 dozine daske, concava nadam se oko 4-5mm.

For my birthday today, and around 40C outside, not bad for an old man:)

All the best in 2013!
