Replying to Making Skis?

I'm thinking on making my own skis while i wait for winter so how exactly would this work? I know it's not going to be easy but i really would like to start. I think I'm just going to make skis for myself, friends and family.

So what how exactly would a beginner like me learn how to make skis?

What materials do i need?

How much will everything cost? (ski press, edge bender ect.)

All the help would be great. Once again i know it won't be something that just comes to me as some of you might say, it takes lots of work and patience.

Thanks
