Equipment In the first part, we built the basic wax bench. Now we need a way to easily cleanup the wax mess so the spouse or significant other doesn't get peeved when wax ends up all over the house.
The wax trough is simply a 1x8 screwed lengthwise into the bottom of the wax bench, with a 1x4 screwed into the 1x8's front edge, creating a U-shaped trough (see picture at left). The trough is just wide enough to run a whiskbroom down it (picture below). Brush shavings from the bench into the trough, then brush trough shavings down to a waiting waste basket at the end.
The Ultimate Wax Bench
Series: |
This
idea was stolen from Snow Mountain Ranch in Colorado, where a group of us went for nine days
several years ago to ski with Jim Young (former US Biathlon coach and then-coach of the Snow
Mountain Development Group). Their wax bench had a trough built into the front of it to catch
wax shavings. No more wax flying to the floor.
Next, we attach of Swix Profile to the bench...
