Wow! What nice helpful video. I'll but a pair of your skis in a year or two when something inevitably breaks. I live in NH now. So I found J and bought his 108 and the 108 that recently replaced it. But I'm originally from Minnesota. Next up? A set of your 105s. A big issue for me is my skiing style. I'm old. I ski like they did in the sixties. I grind the crap out of the inner tips. I have taken to armoring the tips with a layer of JB Weld every three or four ski days. Some sort of grind resistant inner tip would be a God send. Imagine being able to send at his age.
Very nice tutorial. It would be great if you also mention the file and diamond stone specs. (200?150?400? etc etc). I know it depends on how abused skis are but what is the norm for normal use after lets say 5-6 days on the mountain? I have also seen that side edges on most skis have usually a two degree (88) sharpening angle, isn't that right?
Only people that have ski bottoms like that are people that don't pay for their equipment or depo babies that can't be bothered to take their skis off in the parking lot.

Great tutorial!!!
LInks to tools ?
can you send links to the items u you use in the process? (like from amazon)
Thank you. That's all info that I need.
Thank you. More detailed than most, especially regarding the bevels and the tools.
What type of ski holders do you recommend?
I was taught to wet the diamond stone while using or else the diamonds will wear off.
The diamond definitely will not come off. By wetting it the material being cut will not plug the pores in your diamond and make it cut better.

Please before working on the skis, always checking the flatness of the base....ciao
so much for shopping for a $500 Swix ski vice! Problem solved!
