New stands
« on: September 12, 2010, 09:55:35 am »
My son in law helped me with these 2 lock-on type tree stands.They are made of bed frame angle iron,some leftover expanded metal,and other scrap pieces I had around the shop.All I bought was the chain , cable clamps,and a little paint. The cam action really works very good and they are solid as a rock.I mount them on the tree with the floor up,then,after chaining it,pull the floor down and it tightens up nice. God Bless

I built these for about 20 bucks apiece.If I could figure a way to weld the twisted cable,and did'nt have to buy the clamps,it would be half that much. ;) God Bless

  Those look good, Pete. I've got two that look just like them, one's aluminum and plastic and the other is all aluminum. I got lucky and got one for $20 and the other for $25 at the flea market.
