@josharb87 I am slowly getting into climbing and treework, and getting more gear. However, safe gear (for climbing, life support) is expensive and I dont want to take risks with that. I do like to make gear and try making stuff in the workshop, so its to save some money and for the fun of building it ;) Safety is more important then anything, so I wont take risks, thats why Im asking for experience with homemade gear.

Considering the price of the tried and tested models, and the risk of serious injury of a home made one, why would you make your own? (genuine question!)

i have done welding and fabrication in the past and happened to have the right sized rod in the workshop so knocked one up in 10 mins. i enjoy making things so was worth saving the £50

Wotcha,

 

Taking out a line of baby beeches week before last, I had to take this one home. Any advice for turning it into a home-made big shot?

 

Not for professional use, mind. Probably just use it for launching dead goldfish out to sea.
