Bored? Me too. Kinda. Everyone I know is getting **** done. Garages are organized. Yards are manicured. Cars are clean. Everyone seems to be moving on to projects. I’ve been trying to keep busy using what I have on-site. I’ve got a stack of 2x12s that need a job. Cutting them into 6’ tall racks for fire sticks. I’m *** deep to a giraffe in old skis I’ll never ride. They are currently sitting on top of the real project, the K10. This set of racks will hold 12 slalom skis. I’ve got at least that much more in other vintage wake/snow gear up there. Not to mention the 9’10” Jacobs that needs a proper rack. What are you guys building?

You'll get your chance, smart guy. -
any old Maharaja or Connelly Hook wooden skis buried in there ?
I have both entombed in plastic and hiding in the attic of my garage. I keep thinking i need to drag them out and display them some where, someday

No Connellys. There’s a couple Mahas in there, a Northland, a Taperflex, an EP Comp 1, a few HOs I think. Not sure what else.You'll get your chance, smart guy.Comment

- I reached out to Maharaja a few years back to see if he would be interested in sponsoring the West Coast Tige Owners Reunion. His response was perhaps the most polite, professional "no thank you" we have ever received. He ended up returning my call to explain that he doesnt sponsor anything anymore, and is pretty much just a one man shop doing custom skis on rare occasions at this point. Super nice gentleman.

^^^ EP is that same type of deal. You can get one but it will have to be made by the only guy who makes them.You'll get your chance, smart guy.Comment

Made a new rack in the shop this weekend for boards and wetsuits that I can reach from the boat so I don’t have to climb in and out. Need to grab a few more pieces of foam still.

That guy is super cool.... Clear Lake, CA is our vacation home. His shop is there on the lake. He still makes all sorts of things, saw a wake surf board in there a few years back. Didn't look like it would work, not sure it was hollowed out. He made us a beautiful cutting board. He has made some bar tops, etc. Every time we are at the fuel station we peek and see if the shop is open. That place is full of old skis and templates.Comment

Painted the inside area where my kidney shaped cooler was: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1505...action_generic
I was going to say the same thing about the old ski's. Thought I saw one there.lol. And now to make you all jealous. These are all the ones I've collected over the years. Need a couple more but they've gotten quite expensive now. I also have an old O'Brien that I refinished a few years back that's got quite the pattern. I'll have to take a picture of it.Comment
