HI there, due to lack of time I finished my ski buildinmg career few years ago. I d like to sell my stuff, beside tables and stuff I am seeling my press: # massive steel # I-Beams incl a shiftable clamp to reduce deflection to 0mm # cat track, aluminium # steel/alu cassettes # mdf base mould # rolla...

Hi there, couple of years ago i built my last skis, so i haven t been aroudn here. a little problem is bothering me, maybe someone can help me out here.. I bought a pair of Linken Telemark Bindings 6 or 7 years ago... Now the springs are totally done and no more sources on the internet seem to be th...

i use rubinia for sidewalls, its local, and the most mechanical and weathering consistent wood in europe, you just need sharp blades

hey there! i ve working with my press now since 3 years, and i always had a struggle to feed the press with the cassttes. the horizontal opening is only 195cm, when i welded it i was hoping its enough, but my cassettes are 200cm. the vertical opening is 40cm. the horizontal C-beams are welded proper...

i think vacuum bagging seems the most suitable to me... PTTRs idea is quite interesting, has anyone done it before?

Hey there! it s getting colder so my minds fade again towards skiing and skibulding... i d like to build a ski with spooned tip and tail sections (similar to the dps spoon) check out the pic attached. i think the middle on is teh better solution as it could be tuned on a service machine, except the ...

hey thanks for teh response!
my friend who sold me the parts just sent me a package with some more hammerhead parts. seems like there are different heel bail parts...i ll post some results when i m back home to mount the right parts

I just bought a paar of HH axls and monted them on my newest skis. everything went finde except the mount of the heel bail. I was pretty accurate in doing what the manual told me, i even called the importeuer in germany to ask how to do it. but after 1,5h i gave up... i just wanted to test the bindi...

I m not sure if it s aluminium or steel. but when I think of teh normal aluminium you get (Al2Mg3) or something like that, it s pretty soft, and wouldn t stand the abuse by a 48 rockwell steel edge much longer, i guess. i did some 30° beveling on the last pairs, what reduced the damage a litte. I ve...

hey! i do almost every pair of skis with wood veneer now (i reduce plastics where possible...)my sidewalls are also of hardwood. problem: the wood veneers don t stand teh edge abuse from the other ski so long. the veneer looks after some hours of skiing very battered. I beveld the veneer but this is...

hi! i m working with my skipress for almost 3 years now. it does a good job but it s always a stressful to load/unload it with all heating mats, anti-deflection beams, narrow opening... im really tired of this procedure with this press as its very time consuming and i want to improve my workflow. he...

i was on the ISPO last week in munich. guess what i saw there on a fischer freeride ski, that was cut into sections to show new bindings. the core had absolutely now recess at all. you could see very clearly that the core was pressed concave into the ski. in the center spot, the gap between base and...

the two words above are sprayed on the bamboo veneer that has been grain fillered only once on the side facing us. the spots "handmade.." were grain fillered on both sides of the veneer (0,6mm thick) seems like you need to saturate the veneer completely, let it dry, put a covering tape, la...

it s a commercial, local engraver here where i live. the results are really good, he made the suggestion to fill the poroties with grain filler and cover the veneer with a tape and laser then. afterwards i can spray or fill the recesses with coloured epoxy.

I cut some writings into different veneers that will be used as top sheets for some clients skis. To enhance the contrast (as promised to the customer...)i d like to colour the 3/10mm deep laser recesses black. I did some tests on veneers with slightly thicked black coloured epoxy, problem: i also f...
