how to make ice fishing gear

[cstorey]

i was wondering if anyone knew how to make tipups or ice fishing shacks. I know you can i just dont know how. if you could give me a little help i'd really appreciate it.

i was also wondering if anyone had any old tip ups or other ice fishing gear they dont want anymore. There's an ice fishing derby here in connecticut- the coventry lake family ice fishing derby- and i was hoping i could take a few kids in the neighborhood to it but i dont have enough gear for everyone. if you could help in any way that would be great.

thanks.
