Re: Homemade pier car

Re: Homemade pier car
I may have to make a smaller gaff. I put it on the botom of a 5 gallon bucket for reference. Also, what problem are the bolts going to present? thanks for the input Ironman!

Re: Homemade pier car
might punch a hole in anything in the cart, like cooler ....just an observation from the picture....mine was always a work in progress when making things, and changed,perfected for my next trip....my cart is store bought, but if I had the room, I would love to have a larger one to accommodate a bigger cooler ....but works for me now.

Re: Homemade pier car
Great looking stuff! Zip ties work really well holding the tubes on the cart, BTW. If it was me, I would grind the edges off the point tapers to make the points rounder. Have to really make them smoooooth so they won't grab or cut the line. They may be ok, though, hard to tell from a photograph.
I admire do it yourselfers.
