I'll get a picture tomorrow of where it is squeezed in to. The only possible viewing would be through a glass floor from the showroom above.

Of course you realize, @Doug Briggs, that once they come up with the coin operated version of the Scout you will be out of work.;)

I had the same reaction as Doug when I read your post.

I remember about 20 or 25 years ago, I saw a coin operated ski through hot wax machine on top of Taos off chair two. I think last two months.
Automation fall prey to Darwin too.

I still just can't bring myself to have a machine touch any of my skis! (Other than a base grind)
Watching this I can (think I can) see how it would create a variable base bevel. Not that it would be a bad thing, just I prefer my hands.
In that case, the base shape may dictate the same given the shape from the edge at 60mm

@Doug Briggs, you need to Go-Pro that Scout for us!
