Do not want to hijack the post 2 doors down, as here is his post
Where is a good place to buy one? Anyone have a used one for sale by chance?hoots dirt (Mark) Farmville, Virginia

Here is the new one, well I thought p & p used to sell the real ring, as well as the dill web site, but I could be wrong. I also heard of a good ol grower named Burt Doornward who used to build the best rings. If anyone has any good info on how to obtain one of the good old well built ones shoot me a Private e-mail thank you, or I may have to resort to bending metal, welding, and an ocasional visit to a buddy who does furniture restoration...I would rather not spend time putting one together from scratch as a beginner lifting ring builder, as it is always better to consult with a professional on matters this serious...lol..Thank You, Happy Growing..JK

Don Crews told me he picked up an old steering wheel from a vehicle salvage and uses it as a lifting ring, I tried one and sure works good.
