I can't say I'm good yet, still need practice. But using temporary fabric glue to glue the fabric together instead of pins keeps my fabric together perfect. Then I use the edge of my foot as a...
I think the weight issue deals with how its made and what they bond it too. The actual aerogel has almost no weight, it depends on what they bond it to. One article I found said that micalangelo's...
I didn't find a whole lot of information of people selling the product ready to use, but it did seem like an interesting choice. I did find one place that said that since they are made of so much...
Actually, the way i did it, the line that is inside the hammock adjusts itself automaticaly depeding where I put my weight. Well it theory at least, I need to tweek it to slide better. The lines...
Here are some quick pictures. Thanks WV for the idea of individual chords. I might try that on the next one. I agree I can definitely go with smaller chord; I just started going to see what would...
Well, I finally finished making my first diy hammock. First, I'm glad I didn't know how hard else I might not have tried, but I am already planning changes, improvements, etc., so I guess I am...
Thanks for your idea. However if in my mind I continue to think it's not much more work, I will try it and when I discover it is a lot more work, I will be too far along to quit.:scared: Whereas If...
Thanks for the input. I've got a couple of brazilians and will try and use them as a template in the way they are connected. I will let you know if it works and take pictures if it does work.

I'm not sure how heavy it makes fabric or if it degrades fabric over a long time, but when I was in high school, I did a science fair project of using different waterproofers on ripstop to see which...
I will be making in the next month my first DIY hammock. I have and use a couple of brazilian hammocks that I love but thought I would try and make a lighter one to use camping. My question is that...
Thanks for the info. I've got my material to sew my first hammock, and your links might be good ways to get my first UQ vitamaltz. Sorry the link didn't work for you, it does for me but it is also...
Thanks for the great site. After living in Brazil for a few years when I was younger, I fell in love with hammocks. I have moved over 40 times and traveled just about everywhere else but until this...
I'm new to this so I'm not sure if this would be a good deal but thought I would put it out there. I can't afford it but thought if it was a good deal, maybe I could make up for all the great...
