[Archived] What did you Catch Today?

[Nappy]

Galvanized conduit. Is crappy to weld most likely aluminum or stainless

 

[Nappy]

Skis and uprights will come apart and the crossovers will unhook so it can be stowed away in the off season

you don’t see people skiing on electrical conduit pipes and bracing will just give snow a place to hold you back.

Gotta have something to hold the skies in place just have to put it in the right places

Think this in Whatever you have avail. I'd try 3/8" thick wall. to imitate the under carriage on these. Cross braces unbolt or fold. The flexible flyer undercariage has stood the test of time.




When you all done and got it all right build this one for Boot.


hahahahaha

 

[Nappy]

Crude but it works. Next year's model way different. Much more compact and lighter

Nice Job Boyscout! I like the Sampson Arborplex.

nappy that looks great. I built mine the same way except I have a wood box that attaches to what you have in the picture. The box helps to stiffen up the sled. I have even ridden mine down a hill to get to the lake. if you care to you can cut a knife edge on the front edges of your risers to help cut through the snow. I also have a very long rope on my sled so me and the weight of the sled are dispersed over a bigger piece of ice.
