Let's See Your Smitty Sleds

[JMailbox8]

Anyone preparing for this season with some new sled projects? I can't say enough good things about these Smitty Sleds.

Have planned on making a smitty sled for about a year but haven't found a pair of skis for under $80 near me in all that time. Will keep looking maybe one day I will get lucky.

Skis are available at local thrift stores. I bought mine for $10.

I know a guy that makes furniture from old skis and he has a large surplus of skis that he would give away for free if anyone is interested.

I like the idea of the cross members extended for the auger. I think I may remodel mine and put the tent off one side and the auger off the other. This would balance nicely and make the sled a little easier to find things once getting to the spot rather than unload due to things being buried.

It would be interesting to hear what the different Smitty's weight...

Mine weighs 17 lbs.. Little bit non traditional though..







Here is my build thread..

Picture 2 large orange cargo sleds tied together along the side holes. I suggest tying the sleds
so they run parallel to one another with a little gap. You have a great light, cheap sled
that is easy to transport, pull up hills, goes over heavy snow etc. Perfect for us
not mechanically inclined.
