Need your help
« on: Sep 27, 2004, 09:56 AM »
I remember there was a link posted last winter to very unique homemade portable shack that somebody had made.  I think this person was in Southeast Michigan but I can't be sure.  The shack itself was an accordian type portable shack with wood on either end with some sort of dark fabric (I think) or poly tarp (maybe).  It seemed like a good deal of craftsmanship went into it's construction.  In fact, I think the guy was received all kinds of offers from folks at this site if he went commercial with his design.  It this makes any sort of sense to somebody, could you post a link to the construction page that gentleman posted for his shack.  Sorry I can't be more specific...I should have bookmarked it at the time. 

I'll post this in the general section as well. 

Thanks in advance.

Ken--While nice, that wasn't the shack that I was thinking of.  Sorry I'm not able to provide more information.

Here is link to a post on another forum.

http://www.icefishingmichigan.com/forum/showthread.php?t=59978

I think this is what you are looking for but there are no pictures in the main post for some reason.
I stumbled across this and was curious as well. If you happen to get the pictures, please pass them along.

Thanks

Otis--No, that wasn't it either...getting closer though.  Nice looking sled. 

Yellow Belly--That might be the one, wish the photos were still being hosted as then I could tell for certain.  I thought I saw it on this site but it could have been MS as I post there too.  Thanks, that should get me going in the right direction of the guy responds to his e-mail.

is this it, http://www.psfpartner.org/PS_Member/Do_It_Yourself_Projects.htm

Red--Don't think so.  I'm 99.99% positive it was the item mentioned in that Michigan Sportsman link that Yellow Belly provided.  Still waiting on that person's response though.  Thanks to all, especially Yellow Belly, for the help with the identification.

Chris - any response yet re the pictures of the portable shanty? Sounds like a winner.

PS & TJG--Nope, no response to the PM I sent him.  TJG, I checked out your links and couldn't find it there.  Oh well, maybe he'll be back on that board once the season gets going.
