Well, prototypes 2 and 3! Made them both this weekend. Got the tubing bender, welder, and jimmy (rigged) out this weekend.
The first one I made last year was a 10' 3/4" diameter conduit. We ended up tweaking it on a large tree. So this past weekend I decided to do a little better job. Made two versions:
Version 2: 10' long 1" conduit with T-handle, grab bar, hook, and teeth made on the end of the pipe for grabbing/pushing onto the tree. Version 1 had no teeth and still grabbed the tree very well.
Version 3 (left hand side): extendable out to 15'. Used a 6' long 1" conduit pipe, with an inner 10' long 3/4" conduit pipe. I can run it down to just the 1" pipe at 6', or 10' out to 15' when I add the 3/4" conduit. Has T-handle, hook, and teeth on the end of it as well.
Note: I do not use galvanized because it's way heavier. This conduit from my experience is pretty strong, and that was the last 3/4" version.
I'll come back and update with better pictures later.
