If this works, then this thing is crazy cheep compared to building one!

Wouldn't it make more sense to machine your camber board offset for a boot centre in a traditional sort of place, ~55%? then you won't have to offset all your skis. Yes this makes sense. Maybe I'm over thinking this. But depending on the length of the ski, that 55% would vary. So as long as you mar...

It is also great for answering the door while you have been working on skis to find that the people knocking are Jehovah's witnesses. True story.

did you say: "what do you need?! I'm just about to finishing up my final batch of Meth!"

Okay, so lets say I build a pair of skis for "More" at 193cm because he got taller... i would need a mold that is 193cm+180mm for the extra mounting backing on my tip and tail molds+the offset he wants to push his boot center back: say 9cm (this would push the front running length of the s...

super curious about exactly what this product is?? if you check this vid out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Il7iuy7MLk 2:23 you can see the little roll of tape they are using. it has to be some sort of porous masking tape that runs most of the sidewall length. it seems they always leave the tips l...

skidesmond: thanks. that's what I was going to go with but it's always nice to hear what others have done. 190 is crazy long but I have some crazy buddies out in Wyoming and Colorado that might put in a crazy order... twizzstyle: hear that! I had a wood chip in my eye 6 months ago and got real scare...

quick update on my progress, finally some wood work, enough of all this steel work... I got busy making the bottom mold. templates made. I started with 1/8" lamboard http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c26/Skimann20/Ski%20Building/IMG_1243.jpg then I traced it on the MDF 3/4" that I'm going ...

GREAT IDEA!

dont really understand your question about angle iron vs your 2 hoses. If you're talking about the fact that you have 16" of hose and 16" of iron, and are worried the hose will get pinched/cut from the angle iron... remember your hose is 8" when flat... no? the entire hose will not b...

Okay new update. Time to cut the Cat track. I made a form that attached to my chop saw so that I cut each cat track at 15 7/8". this eliminated measuring them every time and made cutting go so much faster. http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c26/Skimann20/IMG_1222.jpg and to the guy on Skibuilder...

Both excellent suggestions. When they ran the sub panel they put a breaker in for everything under the sun (to code) window ac units, microwave, dishwasher. I think I'll just put in juction boxes off the window ac unit line and maybe the microwave for the power. Troublemaker: check pm Cornice: 84&qu...

So i'm fairly certain I think I've read every post on this forum and have not come across Amperage requirements of ski building. Well I guess i've hit a bump in the road. My 1860 house does not carry the amps that i need for the heating blankets. o crap! so i was quoted by one company that two 120V ...

why not just rip it down? I'm not sure you'll find it in any other size.

Hey thanks all. Core strength, core strength. ;) I've already decided to replace the casters. they blow. dang it, didn't follow my number one rule... 1. "poor people" spent money twice. That being said. Picked up a chop saw yesterday for the cat track. Ultra clearance sealed box. Saved ove...
