With the proper Jig, Bit, Vice, Glue, and Philips Screwdriver, it should take 15-30 minutes. Oh Yeah!! There is also this thing called experience, which relates to not drilling through the ski, countersink, stripping the hole, dimpled bases, mounting points don't match in location on the skis, and of course voiding the warranty for not being a Certified Tech

If you're not retarded and you take your time, measure and measure again it's really not hard.

i just freehanded a set of bindings, it ended up costing a little under 50 in terms of all the tools i had to buy for it, you need lots of shop skill, the exact tools, time, patience, and you have to start out on skis you don't really care about

look in gear talk in the sticky maintenance thread, there's a vid on it and i posted updates from my experience with it
