This is gonna be a disaster hahaha. Any garage should have one and probably would let you use it for a minute.

If there's a Harbor Freight in Bozeman you can probably get one of entirely hit or miss quality for ~$10.

Im itching to know how an angle grinder would be required for mounting skis.

My best guess is that you dont have the proper screws and are just planning on using screws that are way to long and grinding off the ends that poke through the base.

Am I right? Or should I keep guessing ????

You got it squid. I’ve been going to ski shops and hardware stores and asking to look thru their collection of screws. I’m gonna drill em all the way thru the base and cut em off so they’re flush with the base. This will insure there’s no way my heel or toe piece will rip out.

You realize that’s just gonna let more water into the core and make your stuff pull out faster.

Like everyone says your gonna fuck up your skis bad. Try and pregrind them so they dont poke through. You may get a bubbled base but that will atleast stop water from getting in.

Please for the love of god post pics of the finished project
