Back in 2008 my daughter was just getting into sled dogs and wanted to race. She was part of a group called MUSH (Mid Union Sled Haulers). We didnt have the funds to buy a sled so then next best option was to build one. I took a few pictures and a few measurements and got to work.
The wood was mostly ash with some oak added to increase strength. The ash came from a 2x10x8 and I resawed the pieces that I needed. For the bendy parts I built a basic steamer and went with a laminated approach. the hook on the back, I forged out a piece of bar stock. The racing pictures were from a meet in Clare Michigan in 2013. I still have the sled after she quit recing in 2015.
I really, really, really miss that workshop.
I am trying to highlight a few small channels every month. I am subscribed to all of them and are on my weekly list to watch, though sometimes it ends up being a binge watch thing lol. These folks are smaller channels and are awesome creators. Well worth the watch - tell them I sent ya.
