bench hook table image

For my eagle scout project, I'm going to be building picnic benches and picnic tables. However, I need to be able to anchor them so they won't get taken away in a storm, but they also need to be movable. So, They need to be safe enough to stay in one spot where they won't be moved unless on purpose. Any ideas?
Answer
There are tie down stakes made like cork-screws also. Light weight chain lengths can be screwed to the leg junction area and turnbuckles with hook ends can join the tie-down and chain and then be tightened down.

Can you share tips for converting a 6' x 12' enclosed trailer into an ice fishing shack?

Any information would be great, but specifically the inside of the trailer.
Answer
That would be a pretty large shanty to haul around, unless you left the wheels on. Doing that, however, might get it too high off the ice, and you'd need stabalizing jacks in the corners. And would still require a car to haul it.
As a straight shanty, you'd have to first remove the wheels and axels, and construct sled runners of some sort so it slides easily on the ice.
At a couple of places on the floor, cut out hatch openings. These should be hinged on one side, and be able to latch in the closed position (for when you're moving).
Other than that, do whatever you're comfortable with. I'd consider a propane heater for sure (tank mounted on the outside, heater inside). Being as you have the tank anyway, maybe a two-burner cookstove. Perhaps a window or two. Either permanent or moveable benches near the floor hatches. And at least one table, for eating, playing cards, etc.
I'd be sure an install hooks and clips for holding my tackle, and a trunk of some sort for the larger stuff like flags, sonar unit, and so on. Once the heater's been on awhile you will be stripping off clothes, so some hooks for them would be in order.
With or without windows, shanty's can get pretty dingy inside. So a couple of lanterns---gas, propane, or battery---will come in handy.
I would make a point of looking at other shanties, and adapt anything you see that you like to meet your needs.
