Ski making instructions

Post by Dragoon » Sun Nov 05, 2023 9:23 am

I have seen a couple of links here to instruction/video guides to making skis but the links are dead… does anyone know where I can find a good link?

I have a new factory set of cleats and runners that I will be using as a pattern to make spare sets and I would to do skis as well..

Thanks
Rod

Unfortunately, the original web pages that showed the process for building skis was an old googlepages website and those links all were discontinued year ago.

In my experience and I am just speaking for me here, when I saw the process for making skis, I realized that is way more work than I would consider for attempting to reproduce a pair of skis. That is why I buy them from Barrie Graham when possible.

Barrie has some Hus Ski skis and I have just a few pair of Hus Ski skis with the Durasurf Wear Skins on them. If you are interested in my skis, contact me at bruce@gogodiablo.com.

I believe Diablo skis are all sold out this year.

Thanks for the info Bruce,
I don’t even have a Hus Ski YET 😁. I am asking about making the skis simply because I want to be able to say I made them.. and I’m a wood guy who really enjoys a challenge LOL
