Ski Bird Feeder by Ski-Tec: DIY

The ski bird feeder hanger is a new item that took some serious ingenuity to create…..and I’m willing to share my knowledge.  This dude can be created and installed in about 10 minutes….from me to you….enjoy! Grab a pair of old skis.  Hold one ski in each hand.  The ski in your left hand….put it down… you don’t need...

How to clean the tops of Skis

How to clean the tops of Skis

This chair has been sitting in my outdoor showroom (my patio) for about 6 months. It has endured snow, rain, hail and countless hours in the sun. The skis top-sheet started becoming oxidized, similar to an old car, showing water drops and appearing to fade..

The Snowboard Experiment

I really haven’t messed with snowboards to much…this was my second attempt at a snowboard chair.   I chopped up 2 brand new snowboards for the experiment…might have been an expensive mistake because I don’t really like it.  I’m not sure if its the look with snowboards as the back and the skis as the arms of the chair or maybe I ...
