Ok BD, it's been lashing it down with snow and nobody has been at work. You've all been having fun in the park haven't you? Lets see your sledges then. I didn't have one and the girl wanted to go sledging so I was forced to hit the garage and make one!
Take one old precious university project:

Steal the handlebars off it:

Take your other old precious university project and steal the scooter off it:

Take a perfectly good bike you got off Freecycle and hack it up for some steel tube:

Remember you left your welding mask at work along with all your other safety working equipment and decide to weld anyway. It comes out a bit snotty but it'll hold:

Burn some paint with a bit of heat:

Add some strengthening with a bit of threaded bar because that's all you've got:

Finish with a convenient folding ski scooter sledge thing to take over the park:

And unfolded:

Drag it over the park, kick all the kids off the hill and get the girl to take some videos while you stack and get hurt!

Try it the less dangerous way:

And then flop in the snow and look flat because you're far too old to be doing all this!
