Granddaughters Sled

Just came in the house from shoveling my drive, and the first project I see is a sled sitting on grass…....

Looks like a great little cutter; your granddaughter will love it….. But get some snow man..

Where getting a foot as we speak. I will be shoveling in the morning

Wow what a nice job now you need a big dog to pull It

Great sled! I have some questions on your curved runners. I’m in the design phase of building barstools. I want to make a circular wood frame to mount to the round upholstered seat. My diameter looks to be close to yours. I was thinking of making a jig like yours. Could you give me a few details how you formed the curved pieces? Are they made up of thin strips? Is so, how thick? Did you steam or vacuum press the curve?

Hi Ron,
Yes they were made of thin strips roughly 3/8” thick. I steamed them in a home steamer and then put them in the form and let them dry and then glued them together. After the glue dried I scraped, filed and sanded to shape.

Very cool!

-- I never started a project I couldn't screw up.

Great looking sled. You did a beautiful job on it. Thanks for posting.

God Bless

I just ran across this, musta missed it when I visited you earlier. Its great? In Tennessee we rarely get snow, but for some reason sleighs and sled fascinate me. I’ve made a couple myself. Great work. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful work!! Did you guys actually put that in the snow?
