I have been thinking about a french cleat type holder.I'll be making some more racks. Anyone want to see something different? I have few ideas based on what I done before. Might make sliding holders, might not.
I played around some with that a few years ago. Maybe time to investigate again. I have a french cleat tool wall. So easy to experiment.I have been thinking about a french cleat type holder.
I was disappointed as I intended to use them in the garage. They grab about 50% of the ski width ans slip with any hard vibrations.This looks cool for an out of the box pre packaged solution. $40 per though..

Playing with sliding dovetails. If you wanted a nicer looking solution, one could mix Walnut with Maple. This prototype is just pine.

I am soooo stealing this…
You can do the same with uni-strut.
No idea what that is

That is a US product. I am sure they have very similar item for the Euro market. Primary used by the plumbing and electrical trades.
Just have to cut the cleat out of a piece of 1x3. Clip the corners so it would fit into the toe binding. Mount the unistrut on the wall. Screw the cleat onto the spring nut with a 1/4"-20 (M6) flat head machine screw and you are good to go.
I thought so too and it would look nice in someone's home if they are limited on space for ski storage.Ah ok, thanks, will check it. But that all wooden solution above looks super nice.
That's a pretty giant dovetail cut there..Playing with sliding dovetails. If you wanted a nicer looking solution, one could mix Walnut with Maple. This prototype is just pine.

Working on it. Prototype 2-3 this weekend, I hope. Unless to do the cherry headboard shelving that has been on my bench for almost a year.I thought so too and it would look nice in someone's home if they are limited on space for ski storage.
Yes, there is a lot of weight to deal with.That's a pretty giant dovetail cut there..
I suspect that some toe pieces wouldn't provide enough to catch the rail if it were continuous. The extra overhang from mimicking the lug of a boot gives more grip.Why not doing a "continuous" rail, so that one shitfs the skis instead of the hanger? What is the disadvantage vs a "single" ski hanger in your solution, @Dwight ?
I'm confused about what you are asking. Do you mean something like this?Why not doing a "continuous" rail, so that one shitfs the skis instead of the hanger? What is the disadvantage vs a "single" ski hanger in your solution, @Dwight ?
