drill bits are also available from tognar.com. It really is a good idea to use a ski specific drill bit since the hole diameter is non standard as far as I know. The inserts I think will really help if you have lots of skis and need to be switching bindings. I am starting without inserts but will pr...

I don't know if you have gotten you hands on a piece of VDS yet, but keep in mind that it is very, very thin... like paper thin. This explains it. I haven't had a chance to get any yet and I was picturing something 2-3 mm thick. Also making your rabbit a little wider than the teeth to allow the gla...

I think the questions is, G-man, what's it going to take to get our hands on that binder? Ever travel alone at night with it on your person? Got anything especially valuable that we could hold ransom? :D edit: Regarding backgrounds I actually belong to the group most hated by engineers worldwide . ....

sidewall material and groove for edge teeth
G-man I hope my article didn’t cause you undue frustration. I have been looking into the issue of sidewall material a little more and have boiled down the pro’s and cons as follows. UHMWPE- More durable of the two materials, much harder to work with and proper bonding is harder/more complicated. ABS...

deformed mold
Hey hose-man, I was wondering if you could give us a little more detail on how your mold deformed. Was it caused by the tip and tail blocks breaking their attachment to the bottom mold? I am asking because I just got done with my press and am about to start the mold. I was thinking about a design si...
