Well here it is. I think this is what I'm going to go with as far as the final design of the post. I'm going to test it out tomorrow and if im happy with it, i will try to sell a couple here and there as I make them. I press fit a steel insert for the adjustment screw to rest against. And moved the pivot point up closer the top bracket to prevent the top from wanting to pull away from the tree.

According to my bathroom scale I weigh exactly 1 pound heavier holding it. It's the only scale I have here. Lol

Looks good. I wish i had the skill. The one thing i would change on batting currently made is to not have all the contact points in line... I would receive some for curvature of tree? If you sake then i might be interested.... And here is a x2 for doing a platform. If i could get a beefier version of the original lonewolf seat id pay
 
That's great work ! Awesome ! Show it on a tree, please.

Yea i put some curvature in mine. I'd still go with a little more though next time. It's perfect for a tree about as big as I can reach around.

I made 2 yesterday. I'm keeping one of them and am selling the original one and one of the new ones. The new one is on the right. NOTE: They are designed for the new $29.00 XOP platform and may not work with others. The adjustment bolt may be in a different place.
I'll let the original one go for $50.00. The new one will be $75.00. I'm only selling these 2 rt now. If there is enough interest I will make more and sell them as I have time. Pm me and I will sell them to the first 2 people I receive from.
Thanks

How long does it take to machine those?

I've probably got 10 hours designing it and changing designs. The machine time is between 30 min to an hour.
 
I still have 1 post made and ready to ship if anyone wanted one.

Is the one on the right already starting the bend?
