Truly a labor of love and well done at that. Two other fun pics..... With the #3 C4 that was used as the basis for construction: [image]http://www.lucasmarshall.com/_de/cam/IMG_0078.jpg[/image] On his coffee table. Yes, its that big.

You'll have to make a special category for that: Best Cam not Mailed In.

Absolutely HOLY CRAP! That's a LOT of woodworking. Beautiful use of plywood.
Aric, you're going to have to get a bigger test jig for that one!!!

Damn that’s cool, very fine craftsmanship. You must enter the comp next year; I think you’ll want to make a smaller one though. Shipping on that would probably kill you.

Caution: Thread Drift
Has nothing to do with climbing (other than maybe getting to your urban crag), but you may appreciate this woodwork

Something makes me think the stem cable might be a little "floppy".
Hmmm.....
