Ok, I caved and bought a diamond stone over the weekend, thanks for you help skidmarks! Now I just need to actually use it. I also bought a new block of wax to use on my skis. :-o

AND he waxed a pair of skis I just sold!

I did not, however, allow him to mount the bindings on my new skis.

But I thought it was nearly impossible to do without a jig?

And this coming from a shop guy, interesting...

I'm assuming these were on your personal skis?

They do come with a paper template. I'm assuming he used that.

and he's a shop guy...so its not his first at bats mounting a pair of skis.

I've mounted a couple mono skis free hand...that gets interesting.

Thanks for the compliment, I love watching Vila work.

I figured that he didn't freehand it by eye... You still need to be careful that the bit doesn't wander and that you're perpendicular to the ski.

These were not my personal skis. I mounted Dukes on my skis last year by hand. These were the skiis of a friend.

I used the paper template that came with them, and if you take your time and do it correct the bit will not wander, and the paper will be perfectly placed.
I made sure everything was perfect before doing anything permanent, took just under a hour.

At Gunstock:

Binding Mount for my skis (not bought there) $10

Binding check/adjust for my wife's new boots - free

And I thought I was going to have to shell out 40 plus....
