the Akimbo proof run

My name is Jaime. I am an arborist, climber, and compulsive tinkerer. The Akimbo has been a passion project of mine for the last year and a half or so. I have been making prototypes out of my woodshop evenings after work, and financing everything myself.
     I have finally reached a point with the design that i am ready to have a proof run manufactured and i need your help. I am looking at about $5000 to pay for hardware and to have the parts CNC machined. Add to that $2000 for destructive testing and incidentals and we are well out of range of my personal budget. If i am able to reach my goal i am hoping to be able to produce 100 first generation Akimbo!
     My sincere hope is that the Akimbo will be a unique and valuable addition to the range of mechanical rope climbing tools available to climbers the world over!
