Do you tune your own gear?

[Glenn]

I'm hopefully going to build a tuning a bench this weekend. Pics will be posted. And like 90% of my projects around the house, it's not a simple thing. I have an oil line to deal with, a well pipe and a hole in the floor for said well pipe and some electrical system grounding wires. At least installing the light should be easy...

I've stopped by Reliable Racing on my way home from K. Nice guys, they will take the time to show you how to use any tool properly.

I grew up not to far from there, and would make regular stops there. Great shop! Used to piss me off though that own of the owners, Tom Jacobs, daughter's used to kick my a$$ all over the race course though All though racing out of West Mountain (the ski area not too far from RRS's store) in the late 80's was a pretty cool thing, as the folks at RRS were regularly bringing over new design break-away slalom poles for us to try and beat on and break

I wax our skis, and do occasional edge touch ups, but the major tuning is left to the professionals. In all honesty, its pretty rare that my skis need to be tuned because I buy and sell so frequently that I only have a few that stay around long enough to need a tune.


Next Tuesday night, I'm going to an event called Wine Women and Wax. Its a night of pampering, sales and wax/tune clinic at a ski shop in Traverse City.
I'm really looking forward to it.

I was hoping to get my workshop up and running this weekend, but I just found out we're taking our nephew for the weekend. We're going to get him a season rental this weekend also, so maybe he'll be into helping uncle root out.

My mind was heading in an entirely different direction before completing the last paragraph:lol:

We could get back into the Wax or Shave discussion. :lol:

Might as well, it's not like things won't eventually head that way around here
