    Not true brother. Your not going to mill the curves and indents to that quality and precision. DMM is another example. Masters of hot forgiving. As for percentages. We'll we weren't talking bout that. Stay on point. Muggs made the statement that all mass producing manufacturers cut corners to...

    Hi Sean. Sorry Im late. I got delayed by some silliness elsewhere. Yes, lots of Grand fir up here. I avoid them as much as possible. Great to hear you have the Akimbo dialed in so well. Amazing what Jamie and R.E did with such a small device, and all legit.

    On some respects I'd agree with you. Certainly a Walmart lampshade, or princess auto drill set product types, almond thousands more. But industrial life support equipment is a little different, don't you think ? Let's look at a few examples, say, the petzl Zigzag, the Roperunner pro and...

    Compact Bulldog Bone

    Great, but that doesn't answer anything I asked. And Im the only one that's asked you anything in the last couple of pages. Here's another question, is there something wrong with my English ? Because Whenever I ask a direct and easy question I get an answer or response to something I didn't...

    Yes of course I did. If I had an accident it wouldn't effect anyone else. But I wasn't selling the device for others to use. The lifestyle of building stuff in small batches and selling to others would have massive appeal to me. I would never have to deal with another tree customer again. Nor...

    Thanks. Im sure he will speak for himself too. The device has not been tested or certified to Ansi, ISO or EN regs, in 10 years ? That's a whole other can of worms. The standards primarily are in place to protect everyone from manufacturer, retailer, tree company owner to the workers on the...

    Compact Bulldog Bone

    Thanks mate. My device is not a product as of yet. And I'll believe it only when I see it. I take absolutely nothing for granted. Anything can happen. I was urged earlier that I should bump my own thread about it. First off they are not my threads, I didn't start them, and it's not my style to...

    Thanks for the sprinkles, mate. But I'll respectly wait for Gordon to answer the very honest and simple question himself. He admittedly just bumped the thread to bring attention to his work, including those who didn't know about it. Clearly Im one of those people. So Im asking some easy...

    Don't anymore go.crazy or get all protective. This question is for Gordon, to be clear. Ok, here goes. Why is the device only available 'word of mouth', with no dealers, store, website, business name or obvious point of contact ?

    Compact Bulldog Bone

    Ok. First off, with me there's no in-between the lines. Just read the lines. That's it. I ask simple, straight questions of things I don't understand and would like to know the answer to, in as few words as possible in the hope of getting back a straight answer. It saves a lot of time, and we...

    Please show me where I suggested Gordon made a false statement? Show me. Thanks And, I never made any reference or comparisons to my own endeavors

    Thanks for correcting me. But that title alone tells me it's not something I want to investigate. Im only here for tree gear and technique.

    You already have over 5,000 posts, in what Im guessing is perhaps the most popular treebuzz thread in its history. But you feel you need to plug it more ? Is that a joke ? These 'upstart' devices have their place too. Everything has to start somewhere. Why not give them a little airtime and...

    New device from buckingham

    Smaller devices, or those with less points of contact are generally going to fair worse with pitch, grime, moisture etc....and will be less compatible to a variety of ropes and sizes. Too few components doing all the work. Fine if its just a rope grab, but far less forgiving and limited as a...

    ART BlackBird for "MRT and SRT"

    Just buy it, Levi. It looks great. Then buy ours at a later date.

    I was just generalizing for simplicity, mate. But thanks

    New device from buckingham

    Pitch is literally like glue, when sandwiched between a metal and rope surface. And it just doesn't go away on its own. For this reason MRS is often the better choice. Thats probably a horrific thought for some, but the internal friction between the rope and components is reduced by 1/2...

    ART BlackBird for "MRT and SRT"

    Great looking device. Looks un-influenced and original, which is impressive. Slick video, but Im guessing with the most compatible and brand new lines in favorable working conditions. Nothing wrong with that for what they are trying to achieve in this unveiling. German engineering is generally...
