I am experimenting with using a section of a LW climbing stick as the post for my XOP platform (I cut down from 3 steps to 2).
It is 1/4" smaller than ideal and I have packed out with SS washers. This setup puts more strain on the bolt holding the seat to the post and am a little concerned with bolt deformation. Has anyone has any experience with this setup?
I have filled the post with hardwood as reinforcement, and also to provide support for the bolt as it traverses the hollow section.
