[Reelman30]

There`s a wood floor that had 1x4 ski`s under it it pull`s pretty good

    $20.00---- Now that's a great deal!      Should keep you "toasty warm" on those cold days.      LL

That's how I got started....looks a lot nicer that the one I had, though...

Used some loops of rope (no hooks for the canvas' sake in transit) to hang different things.....ice scoop, etc. to get them from underfoot.  Got light and heat from an old Coleman lantern....set up a couple of tipups outside where I could see them out the window.....took a little while to figure out to face the non-door end into the wind and how to place the tipups out the window so I wasn't tweaking my back to look, but once I got it figured out, it worked great!

Hard to tell if you have windows in the wood ends, but I used a 6" square of plexiglass with one screw through the top-center so I could swivel it to the side to let fresh air in when the lantern was running.

I caught a lot of fish out of that little shack....I think you will learn to make it your own the more you fish out of it.

Been there tried that after reading lots of posts Ive come to the conclusion that without specialized equipment and lots of practice we can't sharpen our own blades hope your guy can fix them. Great shanty.
