I'm wanting to start making skis, does anyone know where to buy the machines I will need.

Also, if anyone has any information on how to make bindings let me know.

The fact that you could not find the answer to this simple question leaves me to give you 1/420th of a chance in hell of building your own skis.

doesnt take a good machine shop much theses days to be able to make a binder

damn thats a plum of an idea

i made skis, let me know how they turn out.
I also ordered some stuff off of snowboardmaterials.com

btw you might save a little money (you won't on a single pair cuz of the molds), but it takes a very long time to even get one done, and to get a good one is even harder

and as far as bindings, don't even try. you will not save money when you have acl surgery.
