Your going to have to explain what stops the eyes from pulling over the bolt Mike.

so long bolt (3/8"-16 Stainless steel), flanged bearings, washers 1 inch OD, locking nut

Cool idea. Imagine an enormous RW with the teather being pinned to the through hole on the large DMM block You could drop whole trees with that.

Kevin did say something was in the works, somewhere on the buzz, probably incorporating thicker rigging lines...?

ive been using the one i made the other day and it works quite well. rigged 30 foot 6" dia redwood limbs today no problem. and tried it on oak as well. i think 300lbs is about the limit for comfortable rope handling.

 

[fall_risk]

You may as well send that to your machinist too @JMerritt, so you can take more of my money.

I would rather this be a contribution to Kevin's idea, not a competing product.

Nothing against Kevin's but I really like that one small and compact.

Is there a sheave in there or is it running on the biner up top. How is the pulling ability?

 

[JMerritt]

yes, there is a sheave. the rope runs over the sheave, over the biner, and over the top pin. on pulling slack or lifting, the top pin causes the whole unit to tilt up and the rope runs smooth. it works really well on pulling. i will send you one if you like, or i can send you drawings/solidworks file.
