Paul, based on the reviews I am receiving, I am getting close to done.
-
I make each one from water cut parts by hand, and I do have a batch ready to go. I require a signed disclaimer with each. message me for details please, Thanks Gordon
-
Thanks Adam. The videos are all from users of the Bulldog Bone, thanks to Mike, Eric and Tyler for letting me share them.
-
bringing this video of SRT ascent and descent with HAAS into this thread. Thanks to Tyler for making the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mmx1nGfhs7o

I have the Fiskars splitting maul and love it, well balanced and a nice long handle that allows a decent swing. The handle is warrantied for life, and it has been very tough and durable. I have three other mauls, including an all steel monster maul.
-
Here are two bones in action, both on one swivel on the bridge, connected to two seperatly anchored lines.

Since the Bulldog Bone is a different device than the OAR I thought I would start a new thread with some videos of the Bone in use.
-
I have two Bones ready, if interested, private message me. Thanks, Gordon

<p>Hello Paul, I am currently selling them for $225.00 + 40.00 for s/h to the UK. I am back ordered at this time. If you would like to be on a backorder list then please email me at gordonandkathy.com and I will be able to keep a saved mail file just for that purpose.</p>

I do, but I am currently back ordered (the corrosion resistant links are the bottleneck) I am awaiting word from my vendor and have tried to contact the manufacture and am awaiting their response also.

That video of the HH mod was a proof of concept only, and would not advance well. There is a vigorous discussion about my working design of the Compact Bulldog Bone at Treebuzz.com, under the catagory "stationary rope technique"

Old Mill, then this video is for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fjo9zYYotKs

Here is a video review of the Bulldog Bone made by a climber and user of the Bone, his has since been modified to have the handles/stops to prevent cross loading. Thanks to Tyler for making the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mmx1nGfhs7o
-
Several have suggest this for a fix
-
Well here is a picture of the problem
-
A user has had a "disconcerting incident" with the Bone. The top arm became cross- loaded with the bottom arm impeding the proper upward motion of both arms. Fortunately he was bucked in when this occurred and is OK, and now has a ground level video to demonstrate the problem. If I can figure out how to load it here I will. Gordon

Here is the Bulldog Bone with the optional coated links and the three bollards. Each coated link comes with stainless steel cotters. There are 4 different levels of grip (and ease of release) possible. The largest bollard offers the most grip, all the way down to no bollard all, which will have the least grip (and the easiest to initiate release).
-
Thanks, I have received some nice feedback. For anyone who may want a swivel at the harness attach point, I could add a Nano Swivel from Rock Exotica, rather than the eye shown.

Paul, and any Bulldog Bone user. You should always use the hole in the middle of the spine to advance the the Bone SRT NOT THE CHAINLINK AT THE TOP. While the bone will advance if you pull it along from the top, if you lean back hard, if attached at the top link, the Bone will release.
-
Could the rivet hole not be designed to be midline of the link rather than close to the edge? Just curious, as I have never seen a zigzag up close and personal.

Testing with a weight hanging on the release handle of the Bulldog Bone.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8xVmpZuDSU

Thanks Mac for your review here, maybe you could post up your video of taking the Bone off and on the line. Gordon
