Locost sledge 1.0
Humbug - 9/1/10 at 03:57 PM

Take:

2 front bits of old skis
1 slatted shelf
2 bits of an old dresser
2 bits of batten
a few screws
a length of nylon rope

mix together and you have a locost sledge.

I built it to pull my little lad along on in the snow when he was coming up to 1 year old... he is now just about to be 20

After reading eznfrank's post I went and dug it out of the garagar for an outing.

but do you still wax the ski's??

Take:

* 36m of square tube
* a length of nylon rope
* bike/car engine (optional)

Cut the tubes and weld together and you also have a locost sledge.

If you install the nylon rope and pull it yourself you will have a 0.2 bhp sledge
Stick an engine in it and your looking at a 150+ bhp sledge !

Think you going to need to improve the Runners (Skids) on that......

That looks like it would go well.

Just been out to test mine, on the snow it's a bit slow bu ton compacted snow and ice it goes like poo off a stick
