Scraper Idea

Some friends of mine came up with a neat Idea for making a scraper for your ski's. Snowboards too!

They got an old basketball Plexiglas backboard and made scrapers out of it

 

I saw on slidewright they had the nice 6mm ones, and was gonna order one for him, and he told me about this.

If you have hands that have a hard time holding on to things like me, thicker things fatigue your hands less.

 

Thought I would share.

 

I'm thinking these would work better on snowboards. less flex giving you a better scrape across the board.

This reminds me of yet another unfinished project. A friend owns a glass and plastic shop and gave me a bunch of 1/4"/6mm acrylic panels I need to rip, cut and finish......with all this new snow, I guess that one will also have to wait. Ya got to keep your priorities straight.

I have a bunch of them I made from a sheet of Plexiglas, but my favorite is a yellow plastic Oregon dungeness crab gauge.  The slots showing legal size in Or. Wa. and Calif. made good groove scrapers for XC skis.

Nice terry. I would give you a hand, but your a bit far away.

I thought the backboard thing was a good way to recycle. and those suckers would be around 1/2 inch thick.

I've used the home made plexyglass ones, but they were the thin sheets, I didn't care for that part of them.

Want a surface that wont bend or warp while scraping if you have flat ski's. thats my thought anyways.

I know nothing of grooved ski's however.
