Mickey Platform

[RatherBArchery]

Here is my latest creation which I am calling the Mickey Platforms because if you look at them from the top it looks like Mickey Mouse's profile. These are to be used in conjunction with my ladders, I also build, to make a very comfortable saddle set up. You can stand on these and use the inside of the "Hoops" to push yourself around the tree with your heels. I have always used two of these together so I can spin around the tree. Two of these nest together to make a small package and weight is just a feather over 5lbs.. I use the bungee to mount them and get them into position before adding the single ratchet strap that holds them tight to the tree. I AM NOT A PAINTER, as you can tell, but these will end up getting taped anyway for noise reduction.

Clang, clang, glang goes the platform. Ring, ring, ring goes the bell. There was a song it reminded me of.
Should be very light weight. Great idea.

If you see these in a southeast pa tree let them alone bj139...………...ha,ha

I always leave other people's platforms alone. Although, maybe I could play a tune.

I like them....just could be slippery with wet shoes? Did you roll those or are you repurosing something?

3/4" tubing bender is what I use and bend just over 180 degrees. Those side rails are pressed in our press brake to create a D profile tube which adds strength and gives a flat weld surface. I do not press the "hoops"
