I made a nice shop stand out of a hospital gurney. Fits through a regular doorway. Super strong, but only 2 of the wheels turn.
I made a shopping cart stand several years ago and sold it with a ski, can't find pics now.

go to local muffler shop, have them bend two pipes ( length will vary depending how high you want it), then weld some angle iron, some paint and casters, 2" pipe holds rollbar padding nicely.
I think I have a total of $40 invested in it.Picture 077.jpg

I bought this from another member. He built it to haul skis in his toy hauler, not very handy for working on skis though. Could use some goop in the tires or new tires that hold air better, but otherwise it cuts down on clutter.

Had all my skis out yesterday so I could clean my shop.

Thanks guys for all the ideas. I need to build a cart so it is easier to get this thing on and off the truck at home by myself. does anyone remember how far apart center to center the rails should be on a square nose? Also there was a picture with foam on the rails - Does it stay on without ripping if you slide the ski on? thank you.

I think SJ's are 12.75 or 13" on center for the main chines. You can measure and check.

I wouldn't use turf/ foam, its like brakes on the bottom of the hull. Carpet is a safe bet, and some folks use the teflon like bunk material, but its super slippery, so be careful.
