i have searched and found nothing so my apologies if this is a repost.

Does anybody know where i could purchase/find (steal if necessary) a firehose for making a ski press? I have looked on google and the only on'es within my budget are 1 1/2 inch diameter and thats just too small. +k for replies.

Also, if a fire hose is out of your budget, you may want to reconsider making skis.  You will spend much more money on the process than you think you are going to.  I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but it is an extremely costly hobby.

If you steal it I hope your car burns out.

Skibuilders forums, keep checking the for sale threads.
