Hay DaveT1963 is your use of XOP I beam still working out for you are you still having to work out some bug's .Your design looks to have more strength to it.like you sir I am not little guy and see the advantage' of using that I beam.I am not putting down any of the other designs but if you are going to use hollow tubeing and then have to fill it in with plastic, wood or putty to keep it from deforming the tubeing, you are probly not saving that much weight over using the I beam in the first place.I just want to say thank you for your video and I am going to use your current design to start my platform.

He took a hiatus from hunting stuff recently, don't know if he is back to posting. Haven't heard from him in a month or so.

I would send him a pm as Ike said, he told us he would be away for awhile. I also doubt he is following my threads very closely to see your question.

Hay thancks,He is taking a break for a reason and i am not going to bother him.I already ordered a i beam from XOP and the tree cleats and will go off of his modified set up to get mine started.i am on a lease now in northen Missouri so i can set up trees ahead of time so a little extra weight is not a big deal but thancks for the information on DaveT.
