Bamboo Stand

[Floridahanger]

I do love me some bamboo and that fits the bill. Great job at the TL stand on steroids. And yes, that would be a turtlelady stand with a larger crossbar.

I used a 2x4 inch piece of heavy duty non-skid tape - worked really well.

Thanks, sliver! Carpet tape, right? Think I may have some of that around here someplace.

Okay, I see now, yes, Turtle Lady stand. XTrekker has a really nice looking one. Thanks, Florida.

Thanks, hats.

One of the poles slipped through it's lashing twice, down to a joint -- need to find a solution for that -- some kind of fastener --glue, tape, or staple....

A band clamp inside a piece of vinyl tubing is one fix. When I had a problem with 2x2's slipping in the lashings (after applying a water proofer) I cross drilled them and glued sections of wooden dowel rod in them. I has a very clean appearance.

This photo has notes i suggested to another member for notching the corners, but it shows my cross dowels.

I have converted my wooden tripods from metal hardware to a traditional lashing. Each pole had an existing hole thru it from the hardware so I just ran my line thru the holes first then finished lashing. No way for it to slip down now.

That'll work all day long!

Yes, sometimes a solution just presents itself.

I could rip this mondo piece of redwood in two and have one to sell or give away at a hang.
