Making my own wood replacement blades

[Leafsrule16 5]

We have this guy's blades and the other guy's wife who can make gloves, so who's doing skates?

Well, we could just place an order.

That's depressing and hilarious at once.

Kind of like a Canadian Tire skate sharpening - which is, I'm sure, where these skates will end up.

I love their booth at the Vegas show. They knock off every skate's look.

Keith - just a knockoff, no tooling.

So what, are they actually attempting to reach hockey players or just the random joe who skates once a year? Also, how much do the skates retail for, they spell knockoff all over them.

So I just finished the final iteration of my custom curve maker.

Unfortunately I stopped taking pictures after the first hour because I made so many modifications to the original design. I lacked the hardware to do exactly what I wanted with the wood and metal, so I just sort of settled for a custom curver and not a blade maker. I'll post photos and a write up in the next few days after I pump out a few curves and am satisfied with its current state of existence.

Should've just gotten this -

The Procurve is a great tool, but it isn't a full custom curver. Without multiple heat and set operations, you can only add or remove curve at one spot.

I'm curious to see what minwookie came up with.

It needs work. I'm doing a trip to atlantic city this weekend for some hockey and some blackjack. I'll get some photos up when I feel I can been proud of what I made.

Any MSHers in range of the Flyers Skate Zone in AC, be there for Friday night's pick-up session.

Prototypes shouldn't be pretty!
