Breeches Buoy

Luke has been working on his plans for building a breeches buoy. What is that you ask? He is devising a rope-based way to transfer himself from one tree to another in our yard. See design plans he drew in his journal on left.

He has already run the pulley up the tree and the project this day was to create steps to enable him to climb up the tree to a platform - see diagram.



Photos of this phase of the project can be seen here.

This is way cool. Hope to see photos of him actually swinging from tree to tree when all is completed.
