I've seen one made on the practical sportsman before, but that was afew years ago. Maybe you could E-mail them for the blue prints.

Personnally, I don't like the ones with a lantern "inside" the sled. If you want warmth, use a padded seat or use hand warmers or a heater. If you want light, set the lantern a ways away so the light don't spook shallow eyes. Which-ever way you go, make a trip to the local pawn shop, or good-will store and get an old pair of downhill skies. cut them off short (about 3 foot or so) and mount your fishing box on them. (Make sure you use some spacers to get your box about 4 inches above the skies.) This allows your sled to pull very nicely on ice or snow, and with the 4" spacers, your box won't push too much snow. Good luck.
