How to make a sledge out of wooden palette

Step 5 Improvements

If I'd had a bit more time to spend on it, I would have:
> made the platform narrower. It would have reduced the resistance when sledging
> smoothed out the rails more
> coated the rails in a finish

I've made a palette sledge myself last summer by simply screwing some old ski's to the bottom and knocking of the middle ground beam (don't know the exact word for it) And I've added an old chair seat for comfort.

Another fab idea! Thank you!! Maybe some cushions to soften any impacts... :-)

Great instructable by the way - we just got good snow in Belgium and more forecast for the weekend. Now I just need to borrow a saw,  and get my hands on a palette...

btw - who cares what it's called.

try using candle wax to 'grease' the runners maybe start out by heating the wax and painting it onto the wood so it really really soaks in the liquid wax

What a coincidence, I've got an old wooden sledge I'm thinking of making a palette out of :-)

The ethernet cable is funny.  Last year my kids ripped the rope off one of their sleds.  First thin I grabbed was a chunk of cat 5 to make a new "rope".  Glad to see I wasn't the only fool that uses Cat5 for rope.

I had just installed a wireless connection in my flat ;)
There were loads of cables lying around.
