Question for those of you who have PVC racks for your sleds: do you remove them form the sled for transporting to and from the ice? Or do you attach it right to the sled?
Considering doing it myself...leaning toward removable...sorta. Maybe making sleeves of 1.25" PVC attached to the sled (level with the top edge and make permanent) then make the rack(s) of 1" (removable). One at each end or side of the sled designed to hold the augers is my plan.
Well, it's not PVC...but it is an "add-on". My 4" auger saver...6" X 1" pine disc primed, painted and urethaned. Attached to shaft with 2 rubber sleeves and hose clamps on each side. Now I just need the drill adapter as soon as they become available.
Good idea, I am sure others will be taking a shot at making these.
There is no big reason why the keeper needs to be circular unless you count asthetics(sp?)
I agree, actually round ones are heavier, and harder to pack with other gear..I used a piece of oak when the round plastic one broke..<°)))>{
dAre you talikng about the blade cover?
I think I would rather have a round saver than a square, triangle or any other shape...or a bolt sticking out. I could only imagine the accidents waiting to happen.
No, you just make sure it's loos fitting so that it does not get caught up!Iceassin----I might have to sue you for patent infringement!!
No, you just make sure it's loos fitting so that it does not get caught up!I actually have the saver tight to the shaft. I drilled the hole large enough to fit over the larger diameter of it...about 1.125 inches. Then there is a spot on the shaft that's about .75 inches. I wrapped enough cloth type electrical tape around that portion of it so that the saver could be "squeezed" over it nice and snug, then attached the pieces of rubber hose and clamps on each side. Pretty rock solid.Iceassin----I might have to sue you for patent infringement!!
Hey, AltaIce! how'd that Old Baby Stroller project turn out?
Icassin, you have me thinking... sounds much better for the back.AltaIce, I will be keeping an eye out for a stroller! lol Hope all is well with you and yours.
Ok, foam is a form of plastic...I use those foam ear plugs on my tip up hooks to protect during transport and storage. Keeps 'em clean and sharp.
................................................Hi "Iceassin!" Man that's an excellent way to protect the hooks and perhaps less tangles ( if one keeps their hooks all bunched up in the same holder in the plastic hook containers, like myself...) As well, I'm not sure about your neck of the woods but all the hooks here are to be barbless, so that makes it even easier to use the foam ear plugs. What an awesome idea, thanks! AltaIce
