Replacement stand for old timer..

[G-man]

Oldest member  of camp loves this stand  but  replacement knees and  now a bad  hip had  made it to  hard to get into ..so  decided  on a replacement box for  him..  got some  more work done  on it today. Just siding and door  left  now. From tree to finish. Quite a project.

Fantastic work as always. Alls it needs is a elevator, and you could call it the Hilton.

Larch for steps, platform and  legs.  Spruce for framing..    if  I had hemlock to  cut  I'd  use  it..

Love these threads.  How many have you built for the older hunters in your group?

I  see you went with steps. A very strong handrail is important. Us old guys tend to lurch around, especially getting down. Nice job, I  have built 3 for one  of our older hunters.

Have post in for railing..  haven't got that far  yet  usually do it  last  for ease of getting materials  up to  platform.

Another great stand! You really make em nice!

How do you get the platform up, and leveled,  with the legs at various lengths? 

I'll be needing something like this before too long.

Lifting This one was  easy  hung a snatch block in old stand roof frame..  hooked to winch on sxs.. lifted it  put 2 last legs in . Then simply went  up with 4 ft level. Cut  legs with chainsaw.   

Have done  others  with a  lifting pole tied to stand platform and winch on atv.
