Howdy all!
Well things have been REALLY slow for me lately as far as work goes. Right now I've got nothing "on the hook" and I'm trying to find SOMETHING to get things going again. The other day instead of sitting around bored and stewing about the lack of work I went into the basement and found some "scrap" material and started a fun project. I have a probably forty year old ice fishing sled that belonged to my grandfather. I remember using that thing as a kid and it always worked very well. I know a lot of ice fishermen here in Michigan and some of them are always dragging buckets around full of gear. I took some design ideas from the box that belonged to my grandfather and made some minor changes (size mostly but deleted a couple of things) and made one of my own. It came out pretty good and I'm going to post them for sale on the bulletin boards at the local bait shops and such. I figured I'll just wait for the orders to come in and make them as needed. They're quick and easy to build and it'll give me something to do until business picks up. The box is approximately 12"W X 12"D X 24"L and 21" high at the top when the seat is installed. Here are some pics....
