Well a hardy thanks to all you guys keeping this thread going all these years. I just read the current 64 pages and have some great ideas for building my Smitty sled. Keep posting your pic's of your improvements. Its awesome to share ways of making our sport easier to enjoy. I will add my creations pics as soon as I get it finished.......:-)
Great Idea! I guess I know what I'm doing on my next day off.
Congrats on the woodies. Beautiful drake. I'd get it mounted
Lets try this again. You rock Smitty! Thanks for the idea. Never underestimate the mind of an ice fisherman.
Hey smitty-You're beginning to get a cult following. Great engineering from the fellow icehead. Knocked one out in an afternoon for my one-man tub-style pop-up shack. Looks like it's gonna work awesome.
I just finished my first Smitty. It pulls great in the backyard, but I wish I had some snow to try it on. (Image removed from quote.)
So after having read all 64 pages of this thread, more than once! I finally made my own smith sled tonight. Took me about an hour, and being the resourceful pack rat that I am I made it for free. Everything I used I had on hand from old projects. I made the sled 48" wide to leave room on the side of my flip over for my auger to rest. And totally by accident I made 2 things happen. The slot that my sled sits on is just the right size that it kinda falls into it a little. No need to strap it down or anything. And the other thing was my cross braces were perfectly spaced (by accident mind you) for my ice auger to sit on. Kinda locks right into place. Being 4' wide it was kinda springy in the middle so I added a couple braces and used my Kreg pocket hole jig to tighten it up and it did. I can sit on the sled in my flip over easily! Anyways here is my version of the smith sled! Oh yeah I have a truck so taking it apart for transportation in a vehicle was not a concern for meYes and my son had to help check out the weight bearing capabilities of the cross braces as well! All It needs now is some paint
Well last year I picked up a 2 man flip I pulled by hand once and then only took it if I had a machine.I have joined the "Smitty Sled" following. Mine is aluminum.
You sure are pretty crafty ....
