Nice man. What's the finish like on these? Are they indoor only?

What are the dimensions of the assembled crack/fingerboard? Nice work

Just a suggestion, add more photos. Maybe some pics of it mounted and being used. The pics I saw barely show the crack portion which is really the main selling feature over other $100 hang boards.

I second this. I didn't even realize the crack part was on the bottom until I noticed part of a hand in one of the pictures. Need more pictures of the bottom part of the board with it being used.

I'm interested and piling on w another request for more photos. They do look nice.

Nice work, and i will add that yes, better photos, please.
And since i am a grammar nazi, it is "too late" not "to late". One of my pet peeves. (Raised by English Prof's!)
Are you in Bishop?

I believe the proper nomenclature is "alt-write". Welcome to trumps america.

Oh right...:)
That's a YUGE difference.
Did not mean to hi-jack the thread, nice boards.

This looks RAD! I don't have the money just yet but you can count on an order from me, hopefully sooner than later.

Bookmarking for later, maybe a few months.

Seriously, more photos. I'm very interested, but would like to see more angles and in use shots.

Super neat, I'd be interested in one when I can swing it.

"We ship our crack via Fedex." is a great line, by the way.

Probably way too late to be helpful, but I would be much more interested if there was a ~15-20 degree overhung BD .3-.75 section to practice the harder jams.

Beautiful work, John! The craftsmanship looks top-notch. Love the look of the heavy bolts

Looks so cool!

Maybe next generation add a finger crack? Or some kind of adjustable clamp for flares? Maybe if you mounted one of those wood clamps to the sides? blog.hillmap.com/2012/12/si…

Probably not on the bottom though, do finger jams even work fully inverted, dead-hang?

True - would have to be on the front or side

Can't make everyone happy.

This does look pretty rad.

Looks like it's a front and back piece, plus two spacers for the gap. Theoretically, you could use a thinner or thicker spacer to make a custom width.

I agree that a couple of slots for finger cracks would be amazing. I'd love to do pull ups on ring locks one day.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
