    Question How do I make a bench out of old skis?

    I've seen the snowboard benches, but snowboarding sucks, so I want to make ski benches.

    The skis I can use are:
    K2 MSL 200s
    K2 MSL 190s
    K2 GS Race 208s
    K2 Merlin IV 188s
    K2 four 188s
    Dynastar VR17 200cm

    I would prefer to use plans/methods that doesn't involve fucking up the ski (sawing/nailing/etc), in case anyone ever wants to put them on snow again.

    Any thoughts, ideas, etc welcome. Here's some of the shit I've seen so far but they involve sawing the skis up.

    Use skis only for the horizontal elements of the bench. You could attach the skis with some semi-perm epoxy.

    Or just stop being a pussy and dump your Plake-era skinny ski fetish.

    Just remember to counter sink the screws or they grab you by the thighs or rip your pants.

    Sort of...sit on a bench....measure arse to knee lenght - lenght of ski to sit on..measure arse width, multiply by no of people - width of bench....ya get the idea...it is just held together with binding screws, cross members are all skis, ya should be able to work it out from the photo.....tested it using 2 x 250lbs drunks in ski boots.....bench 1 - drunks 0
