Efficient Tuning & Waxing Set-up = Less Time & Better Results

Start with a Work Area

Ideally, a dedicated shop, work bench or table area will enable the DIYer to bang out repairs & structuring, edge tuning, binding mounts & waxing more conveniently and efficiently. If a work system isn’t convenient, you’ll be less inclined to keep your gear running at their peak performance levels.

Not everyone has the space or option for a dedicated work area. But, developing a system to quickly and easily set up, break down and store one where you can. Following are some key factors to consider:

  • Mess containment
  • Good Lighting and power
  • Good Vise or other ski & snowboard support
  • Tool Storage and access
  • Tool maintenance-keeping your tools tuned
  • Temperature-boards need to be warm for repairs & waxing
