Title: Up Down Hinged Smitty Sled
Post by: Papa Sly on Jul 20, 2021, 02:54 PM

My first shot at the Smitty sled with the coffee table hinges. I do need longer skis but it works great and can hold a lot of weight. Much thanks to VANHLN for the advise and videos. Now I dont have to drag a smitty sled seperate , put it together, and strap everything down!

That will work..
 How hard is it to raise each side?

Nice work Papa Sly smart idea to put the metal strips on the inside of the sled for added strength. Personally I would be a little worried about the bottom of the sled sagging or cracking over time from the loads placed in it as it appears there are no cross member supports.
