I got the skies from base grainding. I'm supprised, bases looks very nice & flat.

I start to make new skies..i don't like making mould using mdf..far too much dust. On the other hand it is quite fast.

I was in France some weeks ago, there was quite many monoski.

Well I have telemark skies, snow board why not monoski again..some times it is nice change. I'm not very good in telemark but it is good training for legs and quite fun.

I have similar Rossignol like in the link. Nice to ski but I have broke mine, the core is broken in the middle. So I have not use for years..

Has anyone build monoski or even seen it

Sammer, this oil mist was one reason I don't like the pump. I know one shop in my country where I can get the oil. And the best part, I sold the oil pump today with same price what I paid for the oil free pump..👍

I bought this Thomas pump today. I guess & hope that it is better than the old one. At least the price was not bad. Should be able to pump to -0.97bar. I did not like the using the oil pump as it made me nervous that the pump would run out of oil and quit working. As this Thomas is design to run...

http://www.amazon.com/Electric-Rotary-Vacuum-Single-2-5CFM/dp/B009M6MA4W Any one use this type? Have you build some type of exhaust pipe to prevent oil moisture coming out? I was thinking to install a strait pipe app. 30 cm / 1 ft and install tractor petrol filter on top? I have also a vacuum pump f...

The skis looks great! You'll get more chipping of the veneer along the edge because of cap construction vs sandwich/sidewall construction. I use either a 15 or 20 degrees bevel on the sidewall to lessen the chipping. Don't worry too much about it. Ski the hell of out them! Thanks alot! I learn that...

For the next skies I was thinking to use only fiber glass and let the core show under it. The folio on top gives nice & good surface. I guess veneer will give some additional torsion => core must be thicker if there is no veneer. I will go today make next test run, we have a small hill just 10 m...

Was very busy the last few days. I got some new aluminium to make my mould. This time I used 3mm. Holy cow it is difficult to bend. I was happy my bender was able to handle the weight I had to use. What is radius you have in your Aluminium mould tip & tail? I have find a work shop that can make...

Here is some picture, I have never done veneer ( it's walnut 0,6 mm) work before, compare to that i quite happy with result. To make the core little smaller would have give maybe better result. I have epoxy on top of the veneer, im afraid that don't last very long time. Tail http://abload.de/img/wp_...

I think spruce is good for skies. When I was kid we use to build bows from spruce branchs. Some of them last for years.

Test run today..first turns were slightly gip when turning on edge. i went to ski maintenance, fellow there grinde the bottom with belt. i ask how much you want? he said that it is first time he see self made skies and it's free of charge! He also told that cheap rental skies are worse than my skies...
