So it held well with little give?
When you're done with it, you can use it to make a jr. swing set.

wow that looks like a lot of work. Before I had my garage I did not have room for a hoist but need one for the weekend (ended up being two weekends. I bought the cheap HF one ton with sale plus coupon I got it for $89. The next Monday I did a Bargain add in the local paper for 2 bucks. First guy gave me $75 for it.

I have also done the 3 bars leaning together like a teepee and wraped a chain around it but that works better outside where the bars sink into the ground.

It only took me and my dad about 20 min to build that and I sold him the wood for 30 bucks so I made out pretty good

Ha I suck at wood work. That would be a all pay project for me. Now if I had soem 2-1/2 angle iron laying around I could whip something together pretty quick.
