    Making my own

    Yes... Its very popular on Amazon... $139 + 4-5 year warranty for a few bucks. Lots of tutorials on you tube that will take you step by step. I've joined at least 4 layers of webbing together with no problem on this thing. The only complaint I have so far is it goes from zero to 100 in a...

    Making my own

    Its not so bad... I've been familiarizing myself with this machine through you tube, this site and practicing on old rags and shirts. I look it as a method of joinery which also requires measuring and cutting. I may pick up an old Singer if I can get it for 20-30 bucks just to see how its...

    Treebolts revisited

    Any trouble with bit staying seated? Do you need to apply much force to push bit in? I experimented with a similar idea. Ratchet and harbor freight auger bit. Results weren’t promising. The folding ratchet may be the key.

    Seatbelt webbing from junkyard

    I agree its inexpensive @LeanMachine. I live near a huge junk yard and re-purposing material excites me for some strange reason. I would certainly stick to the "healthier" seatbelts.

    Full Body Harness???

    @ImThere When you say "Just use the linesman loops and hook it in the tether with your fleece saddle. Pull it.... " What is "IT"? Sorry I'm a new and slow to understand this stuff. I'm also very visual and hands on.

    Full Body Harness???

    My safety is my responsibility. Eventually I may get a saddle, but lead times are long, they aren't cheap, and I'm not certain about fit yet. I also wanted to get an idea of movement in a saddle. Will certainly start on ground. My amsteel and climbing rope are coming in next few days...

    Full Body Harness???

    Came here to research some simple ways of climbing and now I'm trying to put together a simple saddle setup. I want to to get a feel before investing. I'm going to do a simple fleece sling to start. I'm wondering how I can make a full body harness (x-1 bow-hunter) work instead of buying a...
