How to Make Wooden Ski Bindings

1). Measure around the center of the ski boot at the foot with the tape measure. Make a note of the measurement.
2). Transfer the measurement in Step 1 to the rawhide strap. Cut two pieces of rawhide strap to the measurement of the ski boot.
3). Place the rawhide strap over the top at the center of the wood ski. Align the strap so it is equal in length on each side of the ski.
4). Make a mark for two holes on the rawhide. Repeat this step on the second rawhide piece. Remove the pieces of rawhide from the ski.
5). Make a hole in the ski using the leather punch and a hammer. Position the leather punch over each mark and then strike it with the hammer.
6). Place each leather strap back over the wood ski. Insert a screw into each hole and then tighten using the power drill.
