- This is one of those rare projects that took so much effort and was such a relief when it turned out properly. I've had this idea for about 2 years and I'm so happy everything worked out. this so far is my favorite project I've ever done on the channel. And that day of sledding at the end was totally worth the wait.

This is the steamer I ended up using for the project. I highly recommend buying this one rather than going cheap on a cheap steamer. Buy once cry once.

The world needs more dads like you.
Amazing work and Amazing Dad for having time with lovely daughters! Great memories!!!❤
Like everyone else thank you for being a great dad.
Too cool. Thanks for being such a great dad. Memories that will never be forgotten.
This made me very happy brother. You've come a long way from building longboards in the garage, yet is still seems to bring you the same joy.
This platform is very suited to you: your editing and style has really grown into exactly how you used to talk about doing this. You nailed it. If you stick with it your channel will explode, and I wish you all the tenacity and success in the world.
Wow it's been a long time hasn't it? Now that I think about it I've never done a build video of a longboard. I probably know more about that than any of this other stuff I've been building. That's a good idea. You always have such good ideas. Thanks

Let's make sure it isn't as long next time.
And I second that! You are truly blessed to have a brother that is smart and a very good craftsman. I have enjoyed watching his TH-cam seasons and family grow up. Most importantly, how he includes Lucy in to his hobby. I did the same thing with my daughter, who is now 31 years old and just married. Katie grew up to be a beautiful, well-rounded, well-grounded and talented woman. She still remembers things that we did together, which really solidified our very strong father-daughter relationship. I wish you all the blessings in the world on your adventurous journey with your family.
Dude, your little girls are awesome and you are a great dad. Not that common these days, so it is good to see. Awesome job!
Steam box total genius! , looks great fun
Awesome sled. Awesome dad.
You are an amazing dad.
Enjoyed this! Next one try doweling the holes in the bottom and a 45 degree on the trailing edge for less drag.
Great build my friend, I can’t help but get some serious home alone vibes looking at this sled!
Lovely video. Motivation is everything.
So cool. Can you make a video about how you built your steamer?
Amazing Dad!!!
It's awesome!😊💖
Brother. This is so nostalgic for me. My brother's and I had a asked just like this growing up. So many memories. Now I have my own kids. Time to make some new memories with them. Thank you so much for this. You did a great job!
That's awesome! Thank you😁
Wonderful job ! 😊
Amazing sled, would love to make one for my daughter in the UK, would be kind enough to share the rough design?
This Friday I'm actually coming out with a how to build video of this very sled😁
Just splendid... So much fun. Wd
Nice job on the 'sled' or a toboggan? Doesn't matter to me. I grew up in Iowa and everyone called it a sled. Whether a toboggan or a saucer disc or a railed sled. I really enjoy your videos. Especially how you include the family in them. Keep up the good work, your vids are really improving. And I am actually learning things (wood working is not my strong suit!).

Subbed! Good stuff
WhAt species of wood did you use and where did you get your steamer?
Great build.
Nice sled man! That thing looks quick!
I’m curious, was that just pine?
Hi - lovely video and sled - what lumbar is being used ?
Thanks for the question. I think it was Ash. I don't really remember for sure. Generally hardwoods are going to bend easier then softwoods
How much time elapsed from soaking to bending the wood if I might ask?
24 hours I think
@@WyldeWoodworks Thank you for posting this by the way and, excellent work on your part!
@@diehardfan173 Thanks!
What are you doing at the 16:20 mark?
Good question. I was wondering if people would understand what that was. I was rubbing a paraffin wax on the bottom of the sled and then melting it to fill all of the remaining voids and make the sled quicker.
@@WyldeWoodworks I guessed at that, I'm glad I was right. My kids asked what you were doing. I said "it looks like he's waxing the sled, it will make it move faster on the snow, but also adds an extra layer of protection. That's paraffin something my grandma used to seal her water color paintings." I'm so glad I was right. Beautiful work, and wonderful memories for you and the girls.
What kind of wood did you use?
Ash
pretty sure maple is the recommended species. I don't think he ever replied.
Ash is the correct flexible strong wood.
