Really nice vid bro, the skis came out great. good choice building them in the warm weather so the epoxy can cure properly. there are people twice your age who cant build skis so be proud of what you accomplished!! be safe on the slopes and have fun
Why did you make such soft skies if they aren’t twintip Awesome and creative way to make skies, would love to se you make more maybe with other materials print or shapes
If you want to buy a good set of twin tips it will cost you around $450 he made this i think for around $380 But its all about the experience nobody can tell he made his own ski's :)
@@steefdewaard6947 I think what he is trying to say is that the overall cost is higher, the materials per se may be cheaper, but look at all the equipment/power tools needed to make them, that's a cost too, that and also time/experience, skis already made are as optimized as they can be, probably the first few pairs that somebody will make will be crap compared to bought skis, so overall it's just cheaper to buy. And overall yea it's about the experience, would be dope running the park in your own skis, if I had that equipment I would totally give it a shot, probably even opens a new area to the sport.
once that press is made, you can keep using the form for unlimited $50 skis. glue is the priciest thing in there. you can make new, improved forms for cheap. make skis for your family.. even if you have no intention of selling stuff, this is awesome.
pretty awesome!!! you went all out even metal rig and air pressure... I am going to make a snowboard pretty soon and this was great... what did you use for metal edging
@@alexpiguillem1441 unfortunately can't post pictures on commets on RU-vid, I will make a video of it on my channel, but was going to wait until almost winter to release it becuse not too many people watch snowboarding stuff in summer
Looks cool. Neutral camber? How can this be controlled, in the mold?, steam bending the wood core? Also, I figured the metal edges would have been more difficult to install.
So I made a pair of snow skates with varying success last year. my biggest issues were core misalignment and cutting the bottom sheets. could you give me any tips? I am going to try and build a full size pair this year and the advice would be supremely helpful.
Ik it's late but it looks like an old heavy duty hose, like a fire hose or something similar. He filled it with air to apply equal pressure and let the epoxie cure
Makes homemade skis* Throws on bindings that are worth enough to buy cheap discontinued decent skis and bindings* Still gets my respect because the skis turned out great*
Hello, I was planning on making myself a pair of skis over the summer as a fun project, and I cannot seem to find any help on the internet, so I was hoping I could ask the maker of this video/ the homemade skis for help.
You obviously like skiing dynastar... I saw 4 dyns against the wall and no other brand. If you stay in that particular industry, you could be a millionaire by 30 as a ski manufacturer and more...
