    I did it. My first hammock, and my first DIY hammock.

    That first sit in it was scary, but it's holding up. The stitches are ugly. I'm still waiting on some hardware, but I'm really happy with myself. Thank to this forum.

    Someone said to me that ugly stitches just means you were excited to finnish and hang your hammock. They don't have to be pretty to work. Nice job and welcome to the madness that is diy

    Ugly doesn't matter, as long as it's holding you. May the force be with you.

    Nice job. Does the knotty mod really make a big difference?
    Just an out of shape middle aged guy who loves doing outdoor things with his great kids...

    Congrats on your first hammock! Is your knotty mod not run in the hem? The knotty mod works very well, I did them on all the hammocks I made my family.
