Locost sledge 1.0

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.

Locost sledge 1.1

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 !
