snowboard press

This project diary is really great. It goes through the entire build process and has lots of pictures. They even build the pneumatic press (pictured) from the ground up. Awesome job guys!

    Thats some really nice work, I wish that I had the patience, skill, tools, and motivation to create somthing of that quality. It must be a great feeling to ride somthing you made from scratch yourself.

    Nice greasemonkey script. FYI, I had to add “http://hackaday.com/*” to the site list for it to recognize the URL.

    The school I work at made one of these back in 2001, I graduated from here in 2002 and I can remember us going to the Burton manufacturing plant to learn about their process and make a mini replication. They work great!
