Yeah, it's a big statement, and probably isn't true, but I wanted to do something in GT for my 4000th post, and since no one looks at the stickies, let alone goes through them for the info, here's all the videos that have helped me through my time on NS (props to mrstskier, mr. huck, and no_steeze [aka Gator - but I'll always think of you as no_steeze], and aoe for most of the videos, they've help me a ton over the years!):

How to take apart and bend FKS bindings (no_steeze/gator):

FKS from Alex Berner on Vimeo.



How to wax your skis (mrstskier):

How to freehand mount your skis (aoe):

How to PTex your bases (mrstskier):

How to dull/detune your edges (Mr. Huck):

Also, ALL the Tech Talk Tuesday videos from 4FRNT, I hope they bring these back next season, cause I love them, here's the link to the channel:

And my favorite videos:

or you can use the sticky that already exists and has 7 pages

and so you know, there is a reason the mounting vid wasn't put in the Alex's first post in the sticky.

sorry buddy, wasteful threat is wasteful

along with the paper jigs or anything that requires a power tool, a large amount of ns kids lack basic shop skills, dont want someone getting hurt.

and alot of people use the sticky, just not this time of year

like I said, these are all the videos I've used - I did say they came from the sticky, and I am in no way trying to take it's spot, theres WAY more useful stuff in those stickies than in this thread - just pointing out the stuff that helped me personally - I fully expect this thread to die over the next few days.

And, you're right, I did forget to mention the power tools stuff, my fault...make sure if you are using these tips that you know what you're doing with the equipment you use.
