I have enjoyed reading this thread for a long time now. Great ideas and variations! Indeed Smitty cool deal! I thought of this thread when I saw this pic and had to share it.(Image removed from quote.)
Gotta thank you again Smitty, the sled is awesome. Put 5.5 miles on it yesterday according to the GPS, all on foot. Had one small mishap crossing a 2' gap (ski tip got caught, but I build it with short skis so it's my fault, not the design), but after "fishing" out the items that went for a swim, I was on my way again. Honestly don't think I could have ever attempted that with a normal sled - for those of us without a four wheeler (yet! Please, please, please Santa if you're watching!!) these thing are a Godsend.
Ran across a neat setup the other day on my way out on the ice and thought you guys would like to see it.(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)
Left over lawnmower handle, left over wood scraps, free skis, its possible
Ya....I guess it would be possible, sorry my quick judgement.
now if Smitty would post plans for a $15 home made flasher, I would be set.
Got mine done this winter. Went with a hard top as I don't have a jet sled to top load.(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)all items came from my garage so no outlay of cash.didn't have eyebolts so went with holes in hard top to hook bungies.now if Smitty would post plans for a $15 home made flasher, I would be set.
Hey Iceballs, Did you use your sled in deep snow? I was wondering if your platform was high enough,what are the risers 2x4s?Thanks, FISHN NIK
Well I started My Smitty Sled. It's not finished but it's starting to take shape..(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)
You guys are all doing awesome with these!! Keep building em' and keep making your life easier out on the ice.
I've only been on this forum a short time, but I have spent nearly every waking moment since joining studying this thread We are lucky here in Yellowknife to have a scavenging area at the dump where gently used lumber, conduit and mattresses are there for the taking. I'm making a trip this week, and I will be posting pics of my Smitty-Sled when complete!
