Thank you Brion. I started a reply that even cited your oft repeated remark about poles for ladders - I called it a stick with nails on each side - but the whole bit was too intemperate so I didn't send. I think your remarks strike the right balance of encouraging people to try stuff but discouraging positivly dangerous ideas.
The one thing I'd add is that there could be a liability issue if you make something for others and, using it as intended and claimed and forseeable, they are hurt.
G'luck all
Ian
