Ideas from TBH for swivel seat for ladder stand

[Draco]

I make my own ladder stands and tripods and have used the same swivel system for over 20 yrs. now with really good results. I put a piece of 3/4" all thread rod on the stand and a 3/4" all thread coupler on the seat. The coupler is like a reallt tall nut. Use white grease[it's odorless] and spin the seat onto the rod. It has a little bit of slack to it but is absolutely silent.

It's not that hard and we made the top demountable so it doesn't weigh a ton...lots of room, too

Sounds like a HH get together to me...Mike's buying the fabricating fluids.

I see no need to weld unless you just want to. I weld because it is faster for me. But i see no reason why you cant drill and bolt everything you are wanting to do.

btw i use the 8.99 boat seat swivel (bearing) from walmart on my tripod i built. Zero noise.
