That actually is Tammons diagram. I also don't get the different cat cut depths shown in the diagram. I'd assume you'd fold the fabric in half (lengthwise), make a straight cut between the 22"...

Did you end up making this hammock.....how did it work out?

Sweet! Is that a DIY?

It's a Sew Green FL-550 Servo motor. It was one of two that my local dealer had and it had the best slow speed control of the two they had.

Waiting on a new bobbin winder and thread stand I...

Picked up a Consew 206rb-1 last Thursday and spent the weekend Making a new table and overhauling the set up. I made a new 6'x32" table from from an extra office workstation top....Changed knee...

Thanks for the response......Going to look at an older 206RB-1 tomorrow. Like the availability/cost of the feet and parts. The price they are asking will allow me to get a nice servo and still be...

Any of you using a Consew 206RB series machine? Wondering how they do for sewing the thin ripstop? I'm considering purchasing one for hammocks, canoe packs and fixing/modifying my sons hockey...

I just finished reusing a old old down sleeping bag for an UQ. It was a rectangular quilt that was at least 45 years old (my grandfathers) and had lost some down/loft over the years. So I shook...

A Sawyer 4L gravity system just arrived from rei today....dividend purchase:).

A friend has used this for the past year and really liked it.

I intended to copy Hangnout's original design but due to my "fly by the seat of my pants" DIY approach I had to make some modifications. I didn't want to whip and hang my DIY hammock in order to...

Since I have 2 UQ's to make I thought I'd buy 100' or so to have extra for other future projects. Looks like some Ebay buys around .17/ft but dont know if there is "bad" shock cord out there. ...

Where have you found the best deals on shock cord?

I would also recommend Sawbill entry point and maybe a base camp on Alton or Beth. I'm doing a 3 night out of Sawbill in the middle of September as i find the bugs are all but gone about then.

Did you use Lash-It for the ridge line also?

Thanks....couldn't think of a reason not to use it but wanted to check.

Any reason I shouldn't use Lash-it for whipping a DIY hammock?

Thank you....Thats the one i remembered seeing. I'm going to give that a try and then jump in the deep end!

That is the seam i practiced with. I thought i read in a tread along the way that the Modified French Seam was a little different. I may be wrong.

Can somebody point me to a tread with a good diagram of a modified french seam. I would like to start on my DIY tarp tonight and can't seem to find a diagram for the Modified french. I've...

beautiful! If you fish you should try the Wristsaver rod/reel as it works really well for kayaks.

The stretch is why i think i'm going to pass on this idea. I've already hemmed 22' of 60" fabric and after playing around with how much i'd need to lose on the top layer i think i'm going to just...

Would a loose fit with IX would be better than squishing 2 or 3 layers between a typical DL hammock? I may just be easier to make a full lenth UQ with the IX using darts to form to the shape of...

Has anybody tried to do a differential cut on a double layer hammock so the bottom layer hangs slightly down from the top layer. I'm wondering if this would allow you to place multiple layers of IX...

I also got 13 yards of the digital DWR which you can basically see through and although the brown fabric is heavier than that its not that much heavier. its Interesting on the "stink". I got 8...

I came across some WM dark brown nylon (or polyester) fabric (no ripstop) that i'm guessing is 1.9 in weight. It has a very rubbery coated feel on one side and passes the blow test and cup of water...

Thanks,

Since my IX is on the way i'm going to attempt a DIY'er. That utilimatly means that by the time your IX Hammock Sock is available i'll be frustrated enough to just order one from you!!!

Do you find that your IX Hammock sock to be less prone to air gaps than a simple IX under cover. I like the idea of a Hammock sock with 2 layers of IX and your side entry flap thingy. I...
