I love your tips ups. But I have one question. Do they tip over at all. Was wondering if the bottom was big enough?
That is a really neat set up , but how do the chickens even know it has water in it?Is the water constantly being pu mped and it is recirculating or what?Being in South Dakota it gets real cold and i don't believe i can do this in the winter but am going to have to do something like this in the warm season cause i'm so tired of cleaning out their waters cause there always full of dirt and straw.You definetly got the ball rolling here.Thanks.
I use slush from the hole, never had one tipped over yet.
I built my version of the Mr. Heater Fan. I still need to glue it together and figure the wiring out.(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)There is another topic on this in the General Discussion forum. I just thought it made more sense to post it in the Equipment Forum.
Great thread! You guys have given me some ideas here...Here is my project sled. Great for running and gunning, I use it a lot when setting up for pike in the morning rather than lugging my big sled around...(Image removed from quote.)
I also love the fact that your Fish Finder is hooked to it. Really Cool.
I have never fished with one or with anyone that has used a flasher or something like it.
The best advice I could give you, get a flasher ASAP!
Hi jbird. Sorry never had time to find a picture and then relearn how to post it again. On the ULR I will try to stick to this note.. Take a look at some of the pics to see if you can see what I mean. When I say use your pipe, tee's and elbows to make your holders. Just trying to remember back what I have posted on there for pics. But, it might show what you could use or even the way I hold my chairs on there, that is kinda half of what I mean.. http://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/index.php?topic=136832.0 See if that works and I hope it helps a little. Everyone enjoy your day and all those around you. Take Care. and always thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and pics. That is why I love this site. AltaIce
I see what you mean about using t's and elbows to make holders. Too late now, though. Someone else had bought a pair of gun holders for an ATV that I really liked but not willing to spend $40+ shipping. I already had one garage tool holder and they are pretty cheap. So I just had them modified. I used large washers inside the caps so all the stress was spread out evenly instead of just at the hole. What I was worried about was the auger stand swaying from front to back...not so much from side to side. I thought about putting an angle bracket from one upright to the ski but didn't want to have something sticking up from the ski that would make packing the skis harder...if you know what I mean.
. Hi Blaine. Great Pic and build. Don't take this the wrong way . But .. When I first looked at the pic of it ( With OUT reading what you had wrote first) My first thought was " Cute, small and would never work for me .Now Let me explain LOL .. I am a born Pack-Rat.. Hoarder, some might say ( when it comes to my packing for fishing or anything) I want to haul the world!!!!! No matter how heavy the world is and if I can carry someone else's stuff , to make it a better walk for them I throw there stuff on as well. LOL. So I keep thinking Awesome build but too little LOL
Pack-Rat... It's a disease. I'm the same way. This is what the truck looks like for a full day on the ice!

Altaice I'm glad you liked the design I can't take credit for it. Last year guys were posting designs for homemade jaw Jackers and I put 2 and 2 together and ended up with this. It is simple and does work.................. .Hounds
