"Skating Sleigh" Warm-Up Shack
I use a Stihl 036 chain saw on an old Better Built band saw rig to cut logs into boards. The chain saw simply cuts in place of the band saw blade.
  I built this "skating sleigh" warm-up shack for my grand children, who use it whenever they go ice skating on a river on my property. The 15 by 8-ft. shack is insulated and there's a fuel oil stove inside, allowing kids to put their skates on out of the cold and wind.
  I bought the sleigh at an auction and removed the carriage, keeping only the wooden runners and undercarriage. I built a round roofed box over the runners, using plywood to build the sides and aluminum to build the roof. (Ray Miettinen, P.O. Box 21, Republic, Mich. 49879 ph 906 376-8243)
