    Would this machine be any good

    As long as it has reverse it should be strong enough, grab some leds and tape em to it for some light because they make a big difference. I have a pfaff 18 and it's a tank and has adjustable dogs.

I went through a pole climbing class in college and watched plenty of guys gaff out of a pole and try and hug it...

    Best advice for getting started with climbing spurs?

    Practice alot. Tree squeeze for sure if you havnt really been trained on what to do if you gaff out on a tree. Burning a pole or a tree down 20ft is hard on the arms look into modding them for better leg and foot straps so they're easer to take off when at hunting height. Watch plenty of...

    Has anyone found a genuine way to test DIY equipment?

    Thanks for the insight, I guess it's always good to second guess your work and overbuild, my last years DIY saddle wasn't made near as well as the one I made this year and it held up really well so I guess I shouldnt be too worried.
