I like those, but I need to elevate the mill and my Boxford lathe at least 8" to provide a comfortable work height for me.

Only thing I acquired today was a rather large gift on my boot that someone's dog left on the sidewalk. 
I'll put it to good use.

This is a climbing device, its a descender and ascender in one device.
The reason it excites me well because ive been following it for about 7 years it started as a tree climber playing in his garage looking for a solution. And here it is a fully approved device marketed world wide.

That's interesting, although I no longer need one. Use to have a Petzel stop lock descender and a couple of asenders for caving.

I love looking at climbing gear, don't have a clue how to use it safely and certainly can't afford it but it's all so pretty.

If you know a bit about knots and ropework you can make up some adequate gear, like a sit harness and Prusik loop assend/decenders. A little primitive by todays standards, but they work.I love looking at climbing gear, don't have a clue how to use it safely and certainly can't afford it but it's all so pretty.
Been a few years for me, but liked the thrill of caving. Here's a couple of photos of improvised gear I made up when I heard about Massacre Cave coming to light again after an earthquake.With every one scared of this silly virus so I havent been out climbing since sept 2019……………………………...

Its all just play time, i haven't been commercial for about 5 years only back it due to covid and not fancying being in tight canteens or sites.
Ive done my fair share of abseiling window cleaning and building work
The tree work is great if you are mechanically minded helps in rigging and understanding forces
It also provides lots of mechanical work and fabrication.

I like the stops, rig is certainly a safer device.
The super safe version called an ID is stupid.

I have bought it to use specifically on the lathe and Mill. I am hoping I can find it a bit easier than the one I have there now.

ID is industry standard for level 1s. Rig is good but can go wrong if rope installed wrong way
