Snow Sled
Jan 30, 2018
I saw a post earlier this year from rmpater ‘Snow sled for my boys’ and decided to copy it. I am not a proper woodworker and I used simple pine. I ended up painting my project to cover up any mistakes. I wanted to let rmpater know that his post was very insightful and helpful, thanks!

Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) for the runners. I used 1/4''x2''

Hi, I'm building a couple of sleds myself... and wondering where you found the 1/4" UHMM? What type of adhesive did you use... and how did it work? If properly laminated, do you think 1/8" UHMW would work as well?
