Making Handmade Custom Skis // The Last Ski Maker in Scotland

Here is a short film my friend Euan at Wilding Film made about me and my skis. It goes into the philosophy of why I make skis and gives a glimpse into the the process of ski making. I also hope you enjoy the lovely shots of my workshop and surrounding area.

Great channel Jaimie.

Your skis are amazing! I would highly recommend you watch a movie called Happy People, a year in the Taiga. It's an amazing movie where you are shown how they make skis in the Siberian Taiga . Love your KZbin Channel!

I love that film especially the scene when the trapper makes his own skis! I’m actually making some in that style at the moment which is very fun!

@@JamieKunka , it's an awesome movie. Hope you make a video on your making of the Siberian trapper skis.

Awesome! Do you have a shop with them on, or are they sold online anywhere?

[@JamieKunka]

Hi Chris! Yes check out my website www.lonelymountain.ski I’ve got a whole lot more shapes and sizes as well tucked away. Hopefully something for everyone.

@@JamieKunka thanks :) Is the wood locally sourced? (did I miss that in the video?)

[@JamieKunka]

Sometimes it is Scottish and sometimes it’s from European forests depending on what looks best!

Hey Jamie. Love these, really beautiful bit of work. What do you do for sidewalls? Do you glue in pre-made or is it just the edge of all the laminates? Hope I’m not asking you to give away any secrets!
