Winch stand with steps

[OK Toon]

This is why I want to replace the steps on my winch stand -- these things are just too small.

My last toon trailer had the same tiny steps. I built some of the "half moon" type steps myself. Much better, and safer.
I thought I posted some pics when I did it, but I can't seem to find the thread.

If you find the thread or still have the pics, I'd love to see them. I searched on here before posting, but I didn't find a lot that others had posted. Thank you!

I'll try to find them tonight.

Here are a few pics:
Sorry that they are out of order...

I tend to "overbuild" everything, but I always say, "do it right, or do it over".

I had the convenience of having a neighbor that works at a fab shop, who "rolled" the slight curves into the angle iron for the steps for me. Everything else was done by me, including painting the step/winch stand with Automotive base/clear.

Thanks Woody -- great pictures of your new steps.

I'm actually in luck like you -- my neighbor works at a fab shop so I get a lot of things through him and I've already been talking to him about this project. I just needed to see some ideas of what others have come up with so I could get mine designed and give him the cut list.

I'll post pics up of the progress when things get started.
