Ski Vise, Portable Vise Setup

thingiverse

Simple Lightweight Ski Vise Setup, a must-have for racers and travelers alike. When using it in hotel rooms, remember to line the vise with paper or something similar to catch shavings and wax spills, showing respect for the staff is crucial. Print out two ends and a binding catch for the middle of the vise. Skis can be positioned upside down for sharpening (back to front, with the binding catch providing the best holding force) or waxing. Alternatively, place them on their side in the grove for sharpening edges. Add Non-slip pads to the top cut section, cutting them to size using a product like SoftTouch Self-Stick Non-Slip Surface Grip available at Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/SoftTouch-Self-Stick-Non-Slip-Surface-Grip/dp/B000SL0KJC/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1541774966&sr=8-4&keywords=grippy+rubber+pad). Use Cable ties or small straps to hold the binding in place, such as those found on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Reusable-Cable-Ties-Cinch-Strap/dp/B01CXH86PS/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1541775145&sr=8-4&keywords=small+strap). Position the ski flat with the rear binding under the lip strap around the back to hold it in place, and another strap around the brakes to secure them. Enjoy your experience while being cautious of sharp edges; consider using cut-resistant gloves for added protection.
