I know there's some skiers and riders on this site, so here's everything you need to keep your boards running right, and with lift tickets selling for $60+ it's a good idea to save money where you can ... by tuning your own stuff at home!
I have a Ski Man vise that will hold a pair of skis or a snowboard, it is heavy duty but also portable; comes with tip and tail rests; adapters to hold snowboards, fat skis, skis with curved sidewalls(I have not found anything that this vise won't hold); it's got a little bit of wax on it here and there but is in perfect shape otherwise; $50 plus shipping - paypal or USPS money order.
I also have a collection of tuning supplies that has everything you need to keep your boards sharpened and waxed: a Bakoda waxing iron with box and instructions; 2 60g packages of Swix CH6 wax(10-21F); 2 60g packages of Swix CH8 wax(25-34F); a brass brush and a nylon brush(for cleaning out base structure after scraping wax); a good quality plastic wax scraper, a roll of fiberlene(for wiping and cleaning base); a Ski Visions Ski Sharp edge sharpening tool that comes with 3 different types of file inserts, sharpening stone inserts, polishing inserts, and instructions - this is the best edge sharpening system I have used, you can adjust the bevel of both the side and base edges from 0-3 degrees - it is in good shape, the stone inserts probably need to be re-lapped(shows how in the instructions); and finally I've included a little manual put out by Swix which covers how to use all this stuff if you're new to tuning, and if you have any further questions I'll be glad to help! $50 plus shipping - paypal or USPS money order.
