Ice Cleats

[icebucketjohn]

Got bored b/c of the bitter cold weather eventhough I wanted to ice fish. Got to thinking about ICE CLEATS.

Comparing various manufactured ice cleats: The cheap brands are junk with plenty of short-comings while the best brands are pricey. Decided to make a pair of Heavy Duty Ice Cleats with scrap stuff around the garage. It beats paying $65 for the top brands.

Base is made from a Rubber, Semi-Truck Mud Flap. Velcro Straps attached to 1" wide Rubber Strips. 1/2" Aluminum Heel Angle & a piece of PVC Pipe (4"Diameter) cut in half at 1/2" wide for a Heel Lock.

We'll see how they work out. I expect a few adjustments & improvements as I use them and figure out better & more simpler methods.
