Looking for ideas for a platform for the top of my API sticks. I have seen the artisan platform and love the idea. I would like something a little bigger but still just as mobile. Any ideas? How big could you go?
 
The bigger you go on top of the stick, you start to induce a lot of torque & makes me worry about the tubing, top standoff or kick outs......
 
You can find the artisan outdoors platforms on facebook but I don't like them at all on a lonewolf stick. No matter how tight I turn the bolts, I still get a little left and right shift on the platform, even if take all washers out. Its just not flush with the top of the stick.
 
Artisan is 3x13. Could you go 6x13? Guess I wont know until i try........
 
Build an artisan style platform yourself out of angle iron and a grinder. I went with 4" angle and it's plenty big on my lone wolf sticks. Or buy an artisan and 3 steps for a ring of steps around the remainder of the tree.
 
I did this. Then three other projects. They all work OK.

Primal Platform DIY 2 lbs 7 oz

I stood on a Primal step for 6 hours on Saturday. Not much fun with all the bulges. I had the wooden platform I made but the step pulled away from the tree because of the leverage of a large platform. This morning, I put a lightweight aluminum piece on a Primal step similar to what I did with...
