Nice job I bet you are chuffed you should be how long did they take -
A totally good idea I saw a low tech thing like that on ebay once using scafhold poles but could not find it again ,I would totally be into getting one or why dont we all get together and make and sell something I have a big workshop with welding cutting milling etc could make us a heap of cash

Nice framing how long did it take

So yeah skip chain worked a real treat got to admit I was surprised at how well it went through the Cedar until I caught the very edge of the coach screws holding my ladder to the 2nd log but not many cutters to sharpen ,the Atlas Cedar is so heavy compared to western red Bloody caught my bad ankle with one of the boards that slipped thought I was heading to the hospital when it first happened but was lucky it just hurts like F##c ,will try and get some pics of the boards up . Cheers. Mark
