smitty0312 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) Here's my sled that stands 6ft. tall, again made from 2X4's, but instead of painting I burned the wood with a torch then sanded to "blend" in, kinda gives it an older look which I was going for, I don't plan on sealing because i want it to "weather" to give it more character.........still want to add rusty strap of some kind to attach middle board and steer handle........no scrolling here but thought somebody might like the idea.......used a 3/8" sisal rope for the pull rope.......comments as always please.....Thank You Edited November 2, 2015 by smitty0312 oneleggimp, amazingkevin, Scrolling Steve and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
