Hello guys,
I'm a wooden surfboard builder and I have the project to build some kitesurf boards like on the following pictures:



I'm not sure about which technique to use to glue those sheets of wood together with a curve and even some concaves (like a skateboard).
I have no experience at all in vacuum bagging but I thought of using a mold and vacuum bagging technique to glue them together. My questions are:
- Could you light me on the technique to use, or maybe send me a link to a tutorial for similar results.
- I'm thinking of buying the starters set with the vacuum pump? Would that be sufficient or do would I need extra material (I plan to glue either with PU glue or with epoxy)

Thank you so much for your help and greets from Portugal,
Antoine

If you're not making a huge number, vacuum bagging would be easier than making a press.  Many ski and skateboard builders use shaped platens on large presses with either hydraulic or pneumatic (like inflated fire hose) clamps.  If you can make a simple curved form that holds vacuum then it will work fine.  You could make the shape from wood and glue a sheet of plastic or thin aluminum to make the air-tight surface.  

Here are two of my articles that might help:
(...could copy and paste but that would be a long post!)

You probably don't need a high vacuum for this so a dry rotary vane, diaphragm or other cheap oil-free pump would be fine.  You won't regret having a nice one though if you plan to get into more composite work - just make sure you get a catch-pot too to protect it.
