I already tune skis at work everyday I have no desire to do it at home. Plus why work on a half assed work bench in my apartment when my backshop is tech nerd heaven with 3 new wintersteiger machines

I'm in college right now so I just use my bed, but back at my parents house my dad had the best setup



this is a bad instagram pic, but basically the orange box on the right is full of mounting hardware like drill bits and screws, the shelves below have a heat gun, base welder, pole baskets, p-tex sticks, and some old xc jigs which you can use to center your mount on narrower skis. Behind the desk is a bunch of wax and waxing tools.

this is what happens when your parents never throw anything out

Ive got a pretty sweet work bench in my garage that I can use to work on skis. I need to get some actual ski clamps/mounts this year though.

this winter it will be mostly at work, we have our own waxing shed with free wax and all other stuff you need. If I'm ever at my moms house I have a setup in my room/basement, used to have the floor covered by plastic and the room smelling of ptex and wax all winter long.

I'm in a dorm and we just pull out our desk tables and lay the skis across them and scrape of the wax when we are done from the table surface.
