Sealed up, just a bit more filler to smooth out all the holes and bumps.
Tray is also sealed back up, forgot to take pics though.
Almost time for turf...

Keep up the good work Neil!

I rode Hellen's -5 the other day. I think you are going to like the length. It won't carve as well as mine, but it will be really fun.

 

[RMBC Freeride]

Thanks Chad. I'm super stoked to get this together finally.

On that note... here is the latest progress:

looks like im doing the same thing tonight actually. Why did you go with 2 different firmnesses? you going to pad the toehold?

Looks good, its going to be a fun ski!

I mostly did it because the black plush pad is so much harder to sand and shape. I want to be able to sand down into the footholds deep enough to allow me to use the 1" plush on the tops of the footholds.

And yes i will be padding the front foothold, just not sure how... yet.

Just out of curiosity, and for future reference... what are you using as "filler"

 

[RMBC Freeride]

It depends... if it was structural, i used west system with 404 adhesive powder blended in it. If it was mostly cosmetic i used their microlight filler powder, or i used this killer blue superfil lightweight aircraft filler.

So the chop job is long done, driveshaft/midshaft issues are sorted out and I'm still working on turf and assembly. So here are some random pics from the build:

You better pick up the pace or you're going to make a short CO riding season even shorter..... or spend another summer on big red

 

[Sanoman]

lf you haven't turfed yet,throw some more padding on the bottom of those footholds.l have the thick plush on the tray and tops of mine and it is nice and tight.

 

[RMBC Freeride]

Yeah Mike, I'm runnin out of time... all the time. Cant seem to get all the projects done.

Don - there is about 1.5" of black underpad beneath the white. Gonna feel like a lazyboy...
