I have a whole bucket of bindings under the cottage, at least a couple sets of cypress. Might be a little while before i get up there to dig them out now.

Certainly not meant to be offensive, just enjoy poking a little fun now and then and John seems to be pretty easy going.

John, Between yourself, JIH and myself, I feel Sean needs some lessons from us. Being polite to your elders comes to mind! Of coarse these days, that concept has been thrown out the window!!! |

I went out last night with some friends from work for a quickie. All I had at home was my old 'Lil Monster. Surprisingly ,I was ables to get up on it behind the Bayliner party barge they have. I remember now why I enjoyed the newer Short Line I bought after that ski so much ! Great for an easy pull around the lake but the squirly little cypress boots and slippery feel of the Monster is so much different than the brutal tracking of my new F1X. I guess I dont feel near as bad using most of these up in my Chairs and railings...

I have a set of Apco Sea Gliders that you can still read the $19.99 on them. Square back, double wooden runners, Gum rubber bindings with dual knurled knobs for adjustment.

Pete: I can't wait to see some of the guys that were in when I joined in '68-'69 while still in high school. Hope they think I took care of myself!
Have a great time at yours! john |

I was having trouble fitting tails to the seat area and did not want to rip them down on the table saw. The taper was hard to fit with all the different brands.
I used up between 25 and 30 skis doing the 2 railings in the cottage, 3 chairs and one table. The good news with the table and chairs, I can replace the 5/4 board seat and top as I find more interesting skis. Same with the railing, as I find more interesting names I will swap them out and they become furnature... |

John, Yes hard to believe 50 years of the club going! It's been over 40 years for me! I know we talked about the 50th at GL but not exactly when the reunions were. Just like any reunion, wait until you see some of the old group that you haven't seen in all the years. Some will look like they have been pumped up with tire pumps and look like the Michelon Man!!! I'm glad we've maintained ourselves!!

Sean, Why didn't you make the seat bottoms with skis too? Run out?
This was my second chair, I can't find a picture of the first one but the same construction with different skis of coarse! 
I was then asked to make one for our ski team/club as a fund raiser this summer. Used all the old skis that the club had and found that only the front ends could be used. The tail ends were all rotted from the years of them standing upright in water/moist ground! The raffle went all summer collecting about 2K and ended at the clubs 50th anniversary this August. Big sales on the raffle tickets there - many of the alumni had actually skied on the skis I used! The winner ended up giving it to the clubs president who is Ryan Lamon (watercraftsales) as a wedding gift. It ended up in good hands!!

Sorry i just built a couple for myself. I found a guy online that sells them for $1000 each and another place that makes a less desirable one for about $350. I decided to make mine... It takes 5 skis to make one chair and 4 to make a table.

At about $3.50 a ski they are cheaper than lumber... I did save the best of them for the kids. I made a great starter salalom ski out of an early long wide wood trick ski. My oldest used it to learn to get up on one, its twin is in the railing as it was very unique...
