Default Waxing workbench

I like to wax my skis in the middle of the trip and often I do not
have a place to work.
Can you all tell me what you put your skis on to wax them?
I have seen stands and clamps, but didn't know if some people had a
MacGyver type workbench they throw together.

Thanks,
Rogue

I travel with the whole ski tool kit and spares binding & baskets.
Swix table and clamps and a light also a tool maker magnifying glasses.
I also have a tarp since wax & metal shaving on bathroom floor is a
hazard. Plus you get less complaints from hotel owner when you ask and
they see the layout

I did acquire a wooden table that used broom sticks for legs, was not
sturdy enough for big ski's, 212 or 195's.

Or course I might be a bad example of a person to ask, as I carry 2 bins
of tools 3 bins of spares electrical and three laptops and a color
laser printer when I go to the race track. I spend most of my time
looking at squiggly colored lines, if not chasing shorts.

I have found that if the equipment is not professional you will pay for
it. One way or the other. I do not mean that you must pay for something
to be good but you need to spend the time to do it right if you
construct it, measure 6 times before you cut. I would like to make a
table/clamp setup that attaches to my trailer hitch body
