I have a pair I need to repair - the frame split a bit on one toe. I found a site when googling snowshoe repair and I think they hade kits or instructions available. If I find anything else I will be sure to let you know.  Good Luck.

A few months ago I found a really good book at the library called "Building snowshoes and snowshoe furniture" by Gil Gilpatrick.  It covers everything from different designs, to construction (including jigs) and lacing.  It will tell you pretty much all you need to know.  If you're really interested but can't find it at your library, it's available online.

I remember finding some good videos on snowshoe making on Youtube as well.

I just picked up the same book a couple weeks after leaving through it, figured with all the jig, steaming info and patterns it was well worth the coin.  I hope my boys and I can make a set each this summer.
