Default Work Stands

Looking for a new work stand for the house. I like the clamp on the Park and base on the Ultimate. Does anyone make one that has these 2 features??

You mean a tripod base?

yes. tripod base. I don't care for the clamp Park uses on that model however.

Looks like the Ultimate Pro Elite has a revised clamp mechinism.

Anyone have one? Feedback?

This doesn't have a true tripod base, but it works well and is worth considering.

The "too low to display" price is $76.

How do you go about doing that? How do you rig it to keep your board or skis level???
There are some pretty sweet portable wax benches on http://www.reliableracing.com/ but quite a bit on the pricey side.

not sure yet, plans are plans and don't always work. But I think a bar with maybe some old boots at the end that will go into the bindings, the key to keeping it level would be the clamp keeping the bar stable. I assume this will be ok since I can crank on stuff pretty good when working on my bike. I separate stand would be cool, but like you said pricey, and I don't have the room...
