That said, I'll defer to your far greater expertise. I only did it for one season, and being young, didn't devote much brain power to it.
I am actually curious now though... flex, or are the drill guides angled?
lol, agree. It's screws into wood, not apollo 13.Quote:

just like to point out you can have control of the sharp end a handheld drill with my wine cork method
but if you let go of the drill it falls on the floor ... gravitational pull eh?
Motherfucking blurple 997s on some EHPs. No drill press and I didn’t account for the gravitational pull of the full moon, but they still turned out fine.

Personally, as someone with lots of hand tool (while working many materials) experience and understanding that skis cores, screws & bindings will be just fine with minor imperfections, I never thought twice about needing anything beyond free handing the drilling of holes.
I can also appreciate concerns of those who do not use tools or various materials on a regular basis and are not comfortable drilling skis without aids. I also appreciate striving for very tight tolerances, even though in skiing, minor imperfections will not really affect your skiing or life. But if someone feels better using guides or a drill press, fine. Go for it.
On my recent mount and experiment (one ski by hand/guide, one with drill press), I found I could drill about 3 or 4 holes by hand per set up for one on the drill press. But, the drill press also forced me to slow down and did put me into an even more careful mindset. One hand I liked using the drill press, on the other it did seem like overkill. So what if it is?
It's all good, just double check yourself each step no matter how you drill your own fucking skis.
I hear reclaimed wrought iron is all the rage now. #ruststainsQuote:

When i mount its always freehand, I go really slow listen to the radio try to think about nothing else and I drink coffee not beer
the exception is a Tele mount, IME you can drink whatever you want
i drink java injest hudge quanities of thc and jam that rock n roll radios loudQuote:

so we would all benifit from slowing down measure twce/ drill once
in the right place
The drill press idea was tempting. I tried using my bench mount Craftsman drill press and the platform is more geared for small parts and the like. I'd need a bigger platform to use it for skis. Or fab up some sort of supports for the skis.
So, I fucking free-handed it. Again.

^^great match of the colors of beer and binder - supergoats?
looks like wren 108
Thanks. I figured Oregon skis pair best with an Oregon - all from Portland, no less. The best part? It's the winter ale. Mega tasty.Quote:
