I would also suspect that the edges of the joints would need to be ground down, or they will scrap on the ice and be a constant drag while pulling.

Well the base is done and I attached a 4'LX2.5'WX16"H cabinet & it's not a 100% done.I plan on building a cover with hinges but for now it's the best I could do in the time constraints that I had.
Over all it seems pretty ridged and with the wood cabinet attached it will help it from torquing over uneven terrain ,I dragged it over my grass to load it on the truck and surprisingly it seemed pretty smooth and above all it's fairly light,but tomorrow will be the true test.
I'll take pics of it and the kids with fish,my Son can't wait for the Derby & to hang out with his Buddy's & the deep fried food

I'll post pics and give my report of the sleds maiden voyage,thank you for all of the feed back on the sleds.
