Been Fabricating Again.

Have extra time on my hands this season so I have been keeping myself occupied in my shop.
My pop up ice tent had only a rope on it which makes it tough to pull in long distances on the rough trails behind the quad so I built a draw bar hitch for it. Ran a 1" angle iron the full width of the sled and bolted it through the outer lip. Hitch is on hinges on both ends so its fully flexible for those long rough trails.
I have a large calf sled for the trips when you take lots of stuff in or for the overnight long hauls but most times I like to run and gun and stay on the hunt for the fish much like summer fishing so for this one has to be mobile. I built a custom ice fishing quad box that packs all my equipment plus any extra clothing I may need. Its a bit large but it won't stay on for hunting just for the ice season. The box is made out of 3/8 Fur ( I like working in Fur its a durable wood) Its all glued and stapled,, its built to last. Box has a double flip lid with built in rod storage. Also built some rod holders for the quad one on each side.

Looks pretty darn good walleyes and I love the rod holders on the quad but you can't troll with it .Bwahahahaha
Anyways you're a lucky guy to have a shop like that and if that was mine I'd probably move my bed into it.
