EX
Looks like some very nice work;)

Exoman. i can respect your fabrication skills. you do great work!
I to am a fabricating junkie and play with the tig and mig welder at times.
i know how much time and effort goes into it and the sence of accomplishment you get in the end. I know peolpe will say why take the time to do this when you can buy one and be done with it but i say if you got the skills and you really enjoy it then then dont hold back. i make most of ours (ladder type and hang on)but have bought a few. here is a pic of one i just finished. you hang a bracket first then hang the stand on the bracket. got it hanging at home airing out right now.

Very nice job,Tom!

Very nice work, I love the size of the platform.
I have to agree with wis bow hunter, regarding the angle of the ladder.
I would add a loop on each back edgeof the platform to attach aratchet strap around the tree.
Again,nicework

Great stands-I see one problem though! The thieving trespassers will think it is nice too. Hope your able to keep them!

RE: Some of my treestand setups
 

If you look close you can see in the pics they are not perfect 90's it only takes a little bit of an angle to make that ladder come out alot to make it nice to climb. And as you and Dan both know its amazing what a man can do with just a welder, tourch, and grinder! When you have those three things its endless what you can do! ALso good job to both of you!

Nice solid stands!!

I built my own climbing sticks but I learned to put a small plate on the bottom to keep it from sinking into the ground. I have a bunch of aluminum tubing I am gong to build stand with. Should be nice and light.

RE: Some of my treestand setups
 

Oh yes they are painted and in place. :) pics coming soon

RE: Some of my treestand setups
 

cool stand dan!


yeah i do automotive fabrication mainly, so tree stands are a refreshing change. Although you are still pretty much going thru the same movements that you would for ladder bars and tube frame chassis :)
