built your own rideplate

[alberta guy]

Has anyone ever built there own ride plate? I would like to build a shortened one with a "D" cut. My ski has a R and D extended ride plate and I don't want to cut it. I work in a high end machine shop as a welder on nights so I can use anything I want. I was thinking steel and powder coating because steel is the easiest to work with. Then when I get something built that I like I would build an aluminum one.

Thanks for the offer. I'm gonna try build one. Its something to do at work instead of playing games on my phone for half the night. If I cant get it figured out i'll take it off your hands down the road.

You can make a composite one, glass or carbon. Use foam to get a basic shape, bondo to final shape. Wax, PVA, pull mold. Wax, PVA, pull part.

One of our guys recently made a carbon fiber one for my freak. get a plate you like for a base, make the changes you want (he started with a stock plate, he added rocker to mine, and made the changes to fit the lines/ contours of my superfreak better). now that we have a mold we can make as many as we need if they break.
