Ey Chaka! How are you? Have you already tested the skis? I´d like to know how they ride.
I´ll soon upload pictures of my homemade skis, I rode them last friday on powder and they worked quite well.
Good luck with yours!

Hey it´s nice to see people all over the world trying to make their own tables. Only one thing, try talking in english so all the people can understand you. I think it´s better for us. A mi me cuesta pero siempre es bueno aprender!! Un saludo!! I´ve got a doubt when I look at this videos and it´s ho...

Hi all! Let me return to this post again because I have a few questions. We did some test to add graphics to our creations but we found some problems. We used normal paper (80 gr/m²) over the wood and cover it with a film of PE, for the first one we used usual PE but for the second autoadhesive PE. ...

Hi Davide!! Very interesting your investigations as allways. I have something to say in this post. Our first pair we built have been the lightest skis I´ve ever known. With alpine bindings they are about 4500 gr, taken into account that alpine bindings are about 2500 gr/pair they weight less than 20...

Good question, i´m still trying to solve it

Thx davide for the advice I think I´m gonna use some tweezers and remove them before pressing. We couldn´t remove the glue from the base even using a metal brush. We´ll watch more this things in the next pair. I like the final look of the skis too but not their shape of course. Maybe a transparent t...

Good work Mart. Didn´t you think about fixing the manometer after the air valve?

Ey thx Buuk, next time I´ll try to host the pictures in another hosting to solve this problem, thx anyway. We finally built our second ski and tried to solve all the problems we had in the first one. We allmost get it but we commited two important mistakes (specially one). The fisrt one is that the ...

Nice work! I´m sure these pictures will help us to do it better on our next pair. We have been on holidays and of course it´s possible to ski in europe in summer but not for too much time. I´ve gone skiing last 4 years and every year glaciers are in worst conditions. This year we have gone to Passo ...

Some more pictures: We had to prebend the wood core, we profiled with this dimensions: 4 mmin tip and tail and 14 in the center core, I think this is too much so we had some problems to bend it, now I think it´s better to make the core narrower and use more fiberglass to reach the adecuate rigidity....

Thx G-man we have worked a lot to develop this proyect and we are not going to throw it away. We know that if we still do ot havinf fun we´ll be able to make a good pair. Probably this first ski will last few runs (if it´s able to do it haha) but we are thinkg about making the second ski different t...

Wood work davide! It´s very interesting to see this things and being able to understand better this kind of things

Yes Idris, yoy are right, we pump enough air inside the blade thar everything started to sound like a submarine in deep water. But everything held in its position. Yesterday we pressed our first ski. And the result was not good. As I posted in other topics we lost our patience and try to hurry as po...

5000 $!!! My god, when I read this it really hurts me but now looking at your pictures I can see the answer to this question. It´s the most proffesional press I´ve ever seen.

Patience is really important but when you are close to press a pair you loose it and get too anxious to do things well. This is what happend to us and let me advise you try to go step by step all slow as it is neccesary.
Buuk really nice work man
