Summer projects?
Posted: Tue Jul 02, 2024 4:23 pm
Binding adapter plates: I made several sets of binding adapters during the winter. They are 3/8" plywood and have inserts and were delaminating by the end of the winter. I've got some aluminum and polyethylene sheets coming that I'm going to use to fabricate some permanent adapters.
Tele trainer: When I really started tele skiing at the end of the winter I found my legs just weren't strong enough to ski as long as I'd like. I'm exercising pretty hard to get more strength but haven't found anything that really duplicates the mechanics of tele skiing. Then I came across an ad on Facebook Marketplace for some wheel conveyors that look the perfect size for 'floating' a ski. Going to try to put together a kind of "Nordic Track" that will let me use my own skis, bindings, and boots.
Cable for Xplore: I looked at this a little last winter but couldn't work out the boot piece of the equation other than knowing an Xplore sole is not bonded to account for a cable. I think I've got it figured out!
Sprinter Van: Want one! Can't afford one!
Enduro motorcycle top case: Worked out a great and simple adapter to attach a Pelican case to my dirt bike!
What are you working on this summer???
