Wife, son, and I are members of Tech Shop Raleigh-Durham. Basically a 17,000+ sq. ft. playland of wood, metal, plastics, computer/robotics, & fabric tools including a BIG Shop Bot, two Epilog laser cutters, plasma cutter, most welding tools known to man, etc.. Courses offered, ideas exchanged, niche-group meetings, etc.

Everything you could want to fabricate binding parts (hell, entire bindings!), highly sculpted skateboards, and, yes even vacuum-bagged or pressed snowboards if you so desire. Offices, private shop space available, and right next door is the Roth micro-brewery. Talk about heaven!

Son and I are taking laser cutting classes this pm.

If you're within road trip distance of Dearborn, the new shop should be quite a resource.

cheers
