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.

I took on a project like that myself at migh highschool but the materials aren't cheap for me. Next year I am going to build a Bow Press.

RE: HOME MADE TREESTAND

Good job!I think you just found a career path..... i'm sure after using it for a season, you'll know if you need any minor changes, maybe none. Then start selling them, but check with all the legal stuff first. Good luck, i know i would really enjoy spending time sitting in a stand that i made myself!
