I used some of the foam that the machine shipped with and some pipe insulation made from similar foam to wrap around where the machine touches the bottom when rolled. Doesn't need much though, fits like a slightly too large glove. I take my sharpener twice a week to the rink and had no issues with this box so far (8 months). When at the rink I just take the sharpener out and set up on top of the box.

Awesome! Great to hear it!

A little update on my situation. Which has ended on a good note. I got my right skate to fit the way I want it. And it was pretty simple, afterall. 1) I actually ditched the red footbeds altogether and ran with just the superfeet carbon pro. The extra volume without the red footbeds actually created more room for a proper heel lock. Ironically, the increased volume with the red footbed and the heel lift of the superfeet made things kind of wonky. It was just weird that the combo didn't really affect my left foot/skate, but like I said my right foot has more pronation and always had fit issues vs my left. 2) I also noticed that swapping the tongues from the left made the right skate feel much more snug. And having the right tongue on the left skate made the left side feel off as well. When I compared the two tongues the right tongue seemed thinner and had deeper creases. I attributed this to that tongue being heated up a number of times when it was baked with the right skate What i ended up doing was I heated up the tongue in the oven. After it was heated up, it retained it's regular shape and removed the creases, and once cooled, it was back to it's regular form/stiffness. So doing the above two things, I was able to get the right to fit the way I wanted to, and glad it all worked out. When to a skate and puck session today to test it out and was extremely happy with the fit and comfort.

Yes. That's what we do here apparently... We look for any small thread on the sweater and then pull until everybody is laughing and pointing fingers and someone is crying.

After initial delivery of skates, I paid $80 dollars for Thick felt, lace bite guard, custom embroidery.

Do you know how to make a custom formed padded interior: wrap what you want to protect in wax paper or butcher's paper ,set it in the case and hold it off the bottom with spacers. The use spray foam all sides remove the wrapped unit then trim the foam. Get some felt and use spray glue to hold the felt to the foam. Not as hard as it sounds

I think an extra set is $40 when you order with the skates.

Great find. The same Husky box is also available from Home Depot in Canada for $117 (not on sale at the moment). colins

This case almost exactly fits the Sparx. I padded the 2" that are left with some of the foam the sharpener came with: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-35-in-Mobile-Job-Box-222167/205053257
