My new skis, Inspired by kittens.

The $220 includes nothing but the cost of the ski materials. The press, molds, and templates have a great variance in price depending on how legitimate you make them and what tools you have available.
 
you should build your own custom kitty bindings too yo.

nah, but incredible ambition to do something like that, props man +k
 
same,i still have a bag my aunt made me from that material when i was younger

that's a crazy idea though nice work
 
As far as actual skis go, I made them over the course of a week doing a little bit of work everyday. As far as everything you need to make skis, quite a while.
 
That's craftmanship. I chuckled when I saw the close up of the cats, I'd smile every time I'm the lift looking at those.
 
5 hours is pretty quick nice work. What was you core profile underfoot and at the tip and tail? Im trying to decide on how thick to make mine? I am only doing 2 layers of glass and a tiny bit of carbon but mine are super fat so i dont want them to be too heavy and stiff.
 
Materials for this particular pair were approximately $220. Price varies greatly though depending on the materials used.
 
hahahahahahahahaha!!! j gorrrdddzzz
Soooo sick kyle! i love these things, rocker, width, topsheet... so ballin! Keep em' coming I want me a pair of kitten factories!!!
 
How much did that cost with all the materials and everything?Looking forward to hearing how they ski.
 
just curious if you heat treated the tips and tails so they wont delam before pressing? Nice looking sticks, howd you make the mold? 1x1s of wood with metal over it?
 
All p-tex was either flame treated before pressing or was factory abraded, this includes tip spacers. And the actual mold was constructed entirely of mdf ribs. We cut one out with a cnc machine and then used a router for the rest. The mold is then covered with UHMW to prevent any unwanted bonding.
 
A friend came over today and she had a little photo shoot with my skis.
