Building Ski Holder From Bike Hitch Racks

I was looking to for a Ski rack to install on my car's hitch. I have decided to use my bike rack and add a Ski holder option so I can use the same rack for my bikes and my skies.

What's the spacing measurement between the 2 pipes to hold the skis?

The gap needs to be 1.3", however your skis maybe thicker . You can find the drawing here drive.google.com/file/d/1x2muUjxcgrfHhrmQz6MI_XUujH5fPkst/view?usp=drive_link

That is awesome. What is the welding gun called? Where can I buy it?

[@ItaiLeshniak]

This is a TIG welder and the full setup will cost you around $1000. If you are intrested I can make a vide about that setup. There are lower cost options like MIG or Aluminum soldering at Harbor Freight Tools.
