Great stand Gary R, had been contemplating something similar for the two granddaughters.

Yeah I did not like the idea of the Tailbone Breaker under me.
This one is just Douglas Fir studs that I stained Dark Walnut..
The stain helps hide the errors made when throwing it together.
It was a rough draft for an Inside stand.
Only hardwood I used on it are the 4 pins

My friend came over and says I need to forge a hook for the ridge pole to hold the bucket of beer.. My friends are smart.
Mortise and tenon..very Amish. It shows the craftsmanship. Well done.

Very nice, Gary. I like that stand alot. You didn't waste any time getting that made! I look forward to seeing the decorative version.

That's nice. I like the design.
Since I'm slowly converting friends into hangers, I've been contemplating adding posts to my backyard for when we want to have a BBQ/Backyard Camp Out, but something like this might be an option as well. I would make it a tad wider stance, but beyond that, it's a great looking piece considering it looks to be pine and plywood! I've certainly got plenty of that around!
