Well its the end of ice fishing season, but all is not lost because in the coming of the end of this season comes the end of the skiing season.
Now is the time to start your scavenging for next ice season. Hit your local ski lodge and the garage sales for broken and old skis.
These make perfect runners for your homemade sled projects. When you are looking for the rainy day summer project to spend with the kids this one is ideal, you can build his and little ones ice sleds.
You can turn this in to a multiple rainy day project by starting with sketches and crayon prints that both of you can sit and develop. Together decide just what is important for your angling pleasure. Do you need swivel bucket seats? Do you need a built in ice fishing toolbox. Do you need a secrete compartment to hide your fish from other anglers? Do you need a sled that is pulled by a Siberian husky? Do you need a place for a heater? Do you want one that turns in to a dome for windy days?
If you were going to build your custom sled, what would you include in the blue prints?
How about torpedo rod cases? Or swivel rod holders that can spin to match the different hole angles. Or how about a cup holder for that coffee or hot chocolate that doubles as a beer holder when out fishing with your falling down buddies?
