Check out my latest project!

With the help of mntlion, I was able to get 13 bent CMH explosiv's to create a new promotional chair for my company. I have always wanted to build a chair to pay tribute to the explosiv. Hopefully if we do not get slammed with orders this winter, we should have it together by mid seaons.

Nice one. I've always liked the ski/snowboard chairs. That seems better than most I've seen.

use skis for the arm rests and and old (or new) markers for beer holders. maybe a bent pole for a little recliner action?

We have our own unique style, and the chairs are bombproof. There of two of them on our front porch that have sat out for four years now, and they still look like the day they rolled out of the shop.

I'd be cautious about that plan. I wouldn't want my beer to pre-release and spill a drop.

Looks good, there is a company in Vermont that makes all sorts of ski furniture.....i bought a ski rack once, and you get to request the ski brand in what you order.....i forget the name but its something like vermont ski furniture or something.....good luck, wish i had the time and skis to do something like that

tenex, looks like a nice solid chair and not just some skis screwed onto a board.
Goodluck

Raps, I got the idea from the company in Veromont. Their chair look just a little to weak. We decided that if we were going to make something that would stand up to the weather in montana, we needed to make it tough as hell. You can liertally beat the piss out of the things, and they look great. Plus the extra weight of the steel makes them difficult to run off with.

that chair does look nice and hefty... good mix of simple classy lines & westernesque detailing vs the novelty ski slats

I'd like to make a couple from my old skis I have screwed to the shed (ironically I could've almost made one from all the 10ex198s I skied...)
It'd be sweet for you to use the freebie skis from the sally army and sell them at huge profit to the yellowstone club members or some such...

looks like fun work anyway- hope you're as busy as you want to be...

Hell the people at the Yellowstone Club pay $200+ just to have their skis shipped to us from their east coast compound. I have yet to use a pair of skis that someone has thrown out. Most of the skis that cross through our shop, are in better shape that what in my quiver.
