There is already enough plagiarism and outright stealing going on in this industry and I don't think we should be encouraging it here.
Shem saw this thread and thanked me and the others for keeping his interests in mind. He also said that he sold the idea to CMI (like was referenced earlier) so he doesn't care about this. And for the record, I don't have a horse in this either, just saw the similarity and wanted to make it known that a fellow tree climber spent effort to create something that may be very similar to the original post. I'm not bent about it and was never considering deleting your posts or shutting anyone down. Just sharing thoughts.Mark, I'm not duplicating the shembiner, if I put a gate on it, you would say I'm duplicating a carritool, or transporter, A hook is a hook, Doesn't matter who designed or made it, mine looks similar, but it is NOT the same, and is NOT a copy of the famous shembiner, mine is a totally different material, size, and shape, feel free to have Shem get in contact with me, so we can see if im copying him

You know Thomas, you've been pretty aggressive towards me here through the years and have even questioned my integrity, which doesn't sit well. I'm not a fan of internet mouth wars, so maybe it's time for you and me to discuss any grievances you may have with me face to face? How about we set aside some time at TCI Expo this year?Precisely. Sorry man.
looks like I forgot to reply, thanks TomSure....go for it![]()
What a great example of an adult reaching out to another adult to resolve a conflict with open and clear communication. A relic of the old days!You know Thomas, you've been pretty aggressive towards me here through the years and have even questioned my integrity, which doesn't sit well.

I don't feel I need to delete anything. Congrats on your personal improvements and best of luck.I quit alcohol last summer.
I am not as angry and bitter about the way America has treated me in the past and the way in which I managed relationships.
Sorry you feel the way you do. I don't know you personally please delete what you can.
I won't be coming to America.
Hard for us to walk a mile in another man's shoes
Have a safe, happy and productive season
Thanks
Thomas
