Also got some 4x4x.25 tee channel from online metals and hacked this together.

200 grams as shown, definitely can trim some fat off itSweet! I’m picturing that step slotted like the top of my steps for grip and weight reduction. And whola!

These look nice. Stealing this to make a set for a platform as well.I made it 1-1/2"
Oh ya, That's what my little boy will be doing tomorrowThese look nice. Stealing this to make a set for a platform as well.
I'm sure you know to round ALL sharp edges before you use them. The pressure from the strap will pull the webbing thru the corners like it was a knife blade.
That's the same exact material I use for mine. What did you use to make the slots?Sweet! I’m picturing that step slotted like the top of my steps for grip and weight reduction. And whola!

I got the idea from you. We will still call it the Denots step.
I started with this
Then had to finish with this

If you would have told me not that long ago that I would DIY anything I would have probably laughed you out the room. That is a true Testament to how much this site and group of people has made me look at things differently. Thanks y'all!Absolutely the Denots step!

Small parts are hard to work with. It is much easier and safer to lay out all of the slots on the full beam and "mill", or drill and cut them first, before cutting it into individual steps.It's very hard to control with not much surface area to set it on.

Yes that would definitely work better for the double slots, but not the way I made my first one. The only real advantage to the way I drilled my slot for the strap was having the ability to add or remove steps without having to take the entire system off of the tree.Small parts are hard to work with.

I guess the only Advantage would be if you felt like you needed to add a step after you are already set up you could do it without removing the entire ring of steps from the tree. You could simply loosen the strap and slip a new step onto the strap and slide it in position and retighten everything. Thus eliminating the chance of an accidental slip of the strap out of your hand and dumping all your steps to the ground. I'm probably overthinking the whole thing, and to be honest with you the way you and @sdonx suggested will probably save enough time that it won't be worth making them with the hole drilled through edgewise.What is the advantage of taking it off the strap like that? Like removing one from the middle? It seems you could just slip the last one off the end of the strap? Were you planning of carrying the to the tree off the strap them putting them on it there?
