Well I made a very crude tree step out of aluminum t-bar yesterday using a portaband and a Dremel. I did find a guy that would Mill the hole for the strap for $10 a piece. The notch in the bottom is so I could add a small piece of angle cut in a V shape so it added some teeth to help bite into the tree and to put the step at a slight upward angle to keep your foot wanting to slide towards the tree. I tried to cut that Notch at first with a jigsaw but it was too hard to keep the jigsaw level on such a small piece of material. So it cut it crooked and I had to come back and straighten it out with the Porta band. Also I cut the Step at an angle just to remove some material and cut down on weight but on the next step I believe I will cut them out in notches so your foot will grip better on the step. I'm going to keep playing with it I'll post pictures of the next one I make.
