Sorry, don't know why I have multiple images? I made these two at work. One for the boss, one for me.

Been fabricating for 6 years. Lies and steel. Haha. Yeah the welds are plenty strong.

Leave the paint off. Not necessary.

Not sure if you're referring to mine or not. It's powder coated, not painted. Had to have that husky orange. Lol

It gets worn off eventually. Initially, the friction and paint can lock the rope. IMO.

Zale, Good advice. I experienced this first hand on that exact one... Locked up on a big branch, 1 wrap with a pinto rig up top. I was pissed. Thinking about bead blasting the powder coat off where the rope runs.

It wears off eventually but something to keep in mind if you need to let a piece run.
