Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Mounting Marker Kingpin without jig
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Hi All,

I've created a short vid on mounting touring bindings without jig.


http://youtube.com/v/RYsUrDA7ag0

I was using https://www.wildsnow.com/18190/how-to-mount-marker-kingpin-ski-touring-binding/ as guidelines. I hope it will help if you don't have a service with jig in your area or you like DIY.

Cheers,
Kuba

P.S. Admins, I'm not sure if this section is the right place to post that vid, but could not find anything on equipment. If I violated any rules feel free to move this thread.

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Try paper templates next time from wildsnow or binding freedom. The kingpin ones I've used have been spot on.

Anyone scared of drilling their own should send them to @spyderjon obviously.

@altis, are you using CNC for drilling?

@altis, that's lovely:) Do you write programs manually or you draw in CAD/CAM?

@Kuba, can't you tell I'm an assembly language programmer at heart?

I have a paid-for copy of LazyCam but that would just produce a stream of coordinates - nothing half as pretty!

@altis, yupp, I suspected C or asm:)
Nice stuff anyway- combined skiing & engineering.

Way to many comments. Makes you look like you can't remember what your own code is doing wink
