RE: HOME MADE TREESTAND
While I love the craftsmanship. Be cautious of a couple things.
The chain doesn't "look" like it's heavy enough to support too much weight especially that far out towards the stand end.
That big of a platform with that much expanded metal on the base..will be creaky...and when it gets cold it will be really creaky.
Nice work but try and look at a couple refinements before the season.
