Very impressive job. Pete
How much $ do you have in those sticks? What can a guy realistically expect to spend on a set?

Close guess?
$60 lone wolf stand offs
$25 ish 6’ 1’ square tube
$15 ish 6’ 3/16 angle
$20 ish DIY Versa button misc bolts
So $120 ish on the cheap.
+++ cost of aluminum welding if you cannot DIY it’s not cheap around here.
Best guess purely speculation

I always learn something from Fling too.Excellent. There are only a handful of people that I really enjoy following and that sway me to be more open minded and to try new things. Fling is one of those few people. Everything he posts, videos and posts, clearly demonstrates he is not seeking the limelight but actually has put a lot of thought into and sharing what he has found. When he posts something I always pay attention because I know I will learn something of value from him. And the fact that he does it with class and humility speaks volumes. Thanks for yet another great demonstration on a DIY stick!

I weigh 200 pounds. I guess I will try the 1/8 and just not trim the step much. I like how you notched the stick though. It allows the sticks to stack nice and tight. I can see me notching the angle at least half way to accommodate stacking. I love the simplicity.It would be worth a try! I’m not sure how much you weigh, but I think I could have used 1/8 and been ok. The 3/16 feels rock solid even when bouncing on them

I was wondering if those amsteel aiders are just as easy to climb as your old black diamond multistep aiders. I am debating making a 5 or 6 step aider for a 12 inch stick like yours. I have never had a problem climbing with the black diamond aider. Is it just as easy with the amsteel aider.
I like how light and compact they are. I would probably make one and take it up the tree like @DaveT1963 does.
Where is the video of your aider?Yep every bit as easy! I am sold on the Amsteel aider. Just can’t beat the weight of them

Wasn't there something on how to make the aider?No video on it yet. I'll try to get a video of the new sticks and aider in action.

Also, what did the sticks cost you to make? You mentioned that you could have almost bought them for what it cost to make?
