I wanted to challenge myself to use my X-Carve to duplicate an existing item. Way back when I was a kid, my Dad built me a sled. Well I have two boys of my own now, so I figured it would be the perfect thing to practice on so they could each have a sled of their own.

The challenge was: could I make an exact replica by taking measurements and drawing it in the computer? One of the most difficult parts was making 44” runners on a 30” cutting surface.
