Boarding pass please

Mike of s/v Chalice Is building himself a boarding ladder, from scratch.  Mike is among the leaders in the "He who has the most tools wins" contest.  And not only does he have them, but he clearly knows how to use them:

The new boarding ladder. Took me almost six months to get the hardware. Good thing I was in no hurry. I was glad to get it actually. Instead of a bunch of picture, I made a slide show. You can look at them individually on Picasa.
