RE: ladder stands.....
daffy has some diffrent ideas....but i dont feel safe in any a frame ladder and ahve no welder.....the stand doesnt have to be free standing at all....i just cant use a climber or screw in steps or anything htat will damage the tree....andything on the latter stand is getting a strip of carpet...im going to play it smart....will the cotter pins be enough to keep the wheels steady and not wobble or anything?i do have an old 24 inch bike......beat me what dad will ahve to do when he wants one lol.....im sure i can find a bike for 5 bux at a yard sale if needed....i guess i will get the stand first then study it and see how it will work best for me...then use your guys axle designs......thanx alot....
